Organisation: World Literacy Foundation Location: Lekki Phase 1, Lagos (Hybrid working) Required Office Days: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Contract Type: Freelance / Fixed-term Contract (2 years) Start Date: March 2026 Salary: ₦475,00 per month

This role requires a portfolio. Applications without work samples will not be considered, as we need to see clear evidence of your design capability. About Us – World Literacy Foundation

The World Literacy Foundation is an international not-for-profit organization committed to improving access to education and eradicating illiteracy worldwide. We deliver literacy programmes, digital learning initiatives, advocacy campaigns, and partnerships that create long-term social and economic impact.

Our work supports children, young people, and adults facing barriers to education due to poverty, conflict, gender inequality, and limited access to resources. Through collaboration with governments, NGOs, educators, and global partners, we work to make literacy a fundamental right for all.

We are working to eradicate illiteracy by 2040. That is not a tagline – it a real goal.

More than 750 million people worldwide cannot read medicine labels, job applications, or traffic signs. We are changing this through literacy programmes operating across 54 countries.

The Role

The Lead Graphic Designer and Content Editor will ensure that the World Literacy Foundation and its associated organisations present a clear, compelling, and consistent visual identity across all external and internal channels.

You will create graphics and multimedia content for World Literacy Foundation and our organisations including UK Reads, USA Reads, Sun Books, and ROOP (Reading Out of Poverty). This includes social media content that earns attention, email visuals that drive donations, reports people actually want to read, logos that communicate mission, and web assets that convert visitors into supporters.

This is not a production-only role. You understand that social media is a battleground for attention. You know how to design for the scroll stop. You understand when design should lead and when content should speak for itself. A clear infographic that makes literacy data scannable and shareable is valuable. A powerful image that gets shared hundreds of times is also valuable. You have the design skills to create both, and the strategic judgment to know which will drive results.

What You Will Be Making

· Social media graphics that stop audiences from scrolling and drive engagement across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and TikTok

· Email marketing visuals that encourage action and donations

· Annual reports, presentations and impact documents that are clear, engaging and readable

· Web graphics and landing page assets that convert visitors into supporters

· Logos and brand materials for programmes and campaigns

· Short-form video content, including basic editing

· Collaborate with Program teams to translate ideas into compelling visual storytelling

· Conduct design and visual research to inform innovative, inclusive and effective creative solutions

Brand Identity and Consistency

· Ensure consistency across platforms while adapting designs for different audiences and regions

· Confidently articulate brand principles and guide others in their correct application

· Review, advise on and sign off on day-to-day brand usage across internal and external materials

Inclusive and Ethical Visual Storytelling

· Ensure visuals reflect dignity, diversity and lived experience across the communities we serve

· Apply inclusive and accessible design standards

· Produce culturally sensitive and ethically responsible visual storytelling, particularly when representing children and vulnerable communities

Digital Tools and Delivery

· Organise and maintain shared asset libraries and templates

Who You Are

· Graphics that get saved, shared and drive people to take action

· Content that respects audience intelligence while making complex ideas accessible

· Consistently meeting deadlines with high-quality output

· Clearly explaining design choices and strategy
