Director of University Guidance

The African Leadership Academy is entering a new stage in our development as we implement our new strategy, ALA 2026. Offering the unique ALA Diploma which is an exciting blend of Cambridge A levels, Entrepreneurial Leadership, Writing and Rhetoric, and African Studies we are committed to becoming a school to change the world. We are looking to fill our school with vibrant and enthusiastic educators ready for a challenge.

As Director of University Guidance, you will work closely with the Director of Student Success to ensure each student’s trajectory supports their life journey beyond ALA. You will be committed to collaborating with students, families, and faculty as you lead the passionate department that delivers the UG programme at ALA. As such, you will be responsible for ALA’s overall transitions strategy.

As the Director of University Guidance you will have a key role in continuing the development of our relationships with universities across the world. Over the past 15 years our university guidance team has raised over $200 in financial aid, allowing ALA graduates from across the continent to study at world-leading universities. The incoming Director of University Guidance will be expected to work with the team to build on this.

At this exciting time in ALA’s history, the Director will be able to build on a decade of success to expand ALA’s global transitions footprint and develop industry-leading systems and processes.
