Just Share SA has announced an opening for a Digital Communications Coordinator in Cape Town, offering an opportunity for an early-career communications professional to work at the intersection of digital storytelling, corporate accountability, climate risk and shareholder activism. The role is aimed at a creative and digitally skilled professional who can translate complex social, environmental and corporate governance issues into engaging content for diverse audiences. The successful candidate will join Just Share’s communications team and contribute to the organisation’s public-facing campaigns and digital presence. Applications are open to candidates with one to three years of experience in digital communications, content creation or social media. The position is based in Plumstead, Cape Town, on a hybrid working arrangement, and offers a salary of R26,000 to R28,000 per month. The application deadline is 31 August 2026. About the Digital Communications Coordinator Role The Digital Communications Coordinator will play an important role in communicating Just Share SA’s work and making complex issues more accessible to the public, campaign audiences, investors and other stakeholders. Working under the Head of Strategic Communications, the successful candidate will help develop and deliver digital content that supports the organisation’s advocacy and public engagement objectives. The position combines communications, creativity and digital production. It is therefore suited to candidates who enjoy storytelling and have an interest in using communications to support social and environmental change. The role will involve producing content for social media and other digital channels, developing visual materials, supporting photography and video production, and maintaining consistency across the organisation’s communications. Key Areas of Work The Digital Communications Coordinator will contribute to a broad range of communications activities. These are expected to include: Developing engaging social media content for Just Share SA’s digital platforms. Creating graphics and other visual communications materials. Supporting photography and visual storytelling. Producing and editing basic video content. Helping communicate issues related to corporate accountability and climate risk. Supporting communications around shareholder activism and advocacy campaigns. Making complex policy and advocacy topics easier for wider audiences to understand. Maintaining visual consistency across digital communications. Working with the Head of Strategic Communications to deliver communications priorities. The position is particularly suited to someone who can combine creativity with organisation and attention to detail. Who Should Apply? Just Share SA is seeking candidates with one to three years of relevant professional experience in areas such as digital communications, content creation or social media. Applicants should have practical experience creating digital content and demonstrate an ability to communicate ideas clearly through both written and visual formats. Experience with design and content-production tools will be important. The organisation specifically highlights skills in platforms and software such as Canva, Adobe Express, Photoshop and CapCut, although experience with similar tools may also be relevant. Candidates should also have a good eye for photography, basic video-editing abilities and an understanding of visual consistency. Beyond technical skills, the role requires someone who is genuinely interested in advocacy, sustainability or social-impact work. Skills and Experience The ideal candidate will bring a combination of digital communications expertise, creativity and an interest in purpose-driven organisations. Important qualities include: Digital communications experience: Candidates should have one to three years of experience in digital communications, content creation or social media. Content creation: The ability to develop compelling and audience-focused content is essential. Graphic design: Familiarity with Canva, Adobe Express, Photoshop or comparable design tools is valuable. Video production: Basic video-editing skills, including experience with CapCut or similar software, will be useful. Photography: Applicants should have an understanding of photography and visual storytelling. Creativity: The position requires someone capable of finding engaging ways to communicate complex subjects. Organisation: The successful candidate will need to manage content and communications tasks effectively. Social impact interest: An interest in sustainability, advocacy, corporate accountability or related issues is desirable. Why This Opportunity Stands Out The position provides an opportunity for an early-career communications professional to build experience in a specialised area of advocacy and social-impact communications. Rather than focusing solely on commercial marketing, the role centres on communicating issues that can influence corporate behaviour, environmental sustainability and public accountability. For professionals interested in climate communications, sustainability communications, advocacy, social-impact storytelling or corporate accountability, the position could provide valuable exposure to the communications side of these fields. The role may also allow the successful candidate to strengthen their portfolio by producing campaigns, graphics, photography and video content connected to real-world advocacy initiatives. Location, Salary and Working Arrangement The Digital Communications Coordinator position is based in Plumstead, Cape Town, and is offered as a hybrid role. The advertised salary is between R26,000 and R28,000 per month. This makes the opportunity particularly relevant to communications professionals already based in Cape Town or candidates who can work within the organisation’s location requirements. Application Deadline Interested candidates should submit their applications before 31 August 2026. Applicants are encouraged to ensure that their applications clearly demonstrate their digital communications experience, content-production abilities and familiarity with relevant design, photography and video tools. A strong application should also communicate the candidate’s interest in advocacy, sustainability and social-impact issues, particularly where these connect with communications and public engagement. How to Apply Professionals interested in the Just Share SA Digital Communications Coordinator position should follow the organisation’s recruitment instructions and submit their application before the stated deadline. Candidates should review the requirements carefully and highlight relevant experience in digital communications, social media, graphic design, photography, video editing and content creation.
