Operations & Events Coordinator

WeCode24 is scaling. We’re building an offline-first coding programme for high school learners across SA, and it’s working. The problem? Things are growing quicker than our systems. That’s where you come in.

You’ll be the organiser behind the chaos — making sure events run, materials go out on time, people follow through, and partners are looped in. You’ll work closely with our MD, and have a big impact on how things move.

What you'll be doing:

  • Managing production timelines for printed resources.
  • Liaising with printers, couriers, suppliers, venues, facilitators, and schools.
  • Planning and coordinating events like HackFest and Bootcamp.
  • Coordinating partnerships, outreach, and follow-ups.
  • Drafting reports, collating updates, keeping timelines on track.
  • Managing relationships with contractors and freelancers.
  • Handling day-to-day ops stuff: email enquiries, timelines, calendars.

What we’re looking for:

  • Someone organised and proactive — can manage moving parts and spot things early.
  • Excellent written English — clear email tone, can put a good report together.
  • Tech-comfortable: familiar with tools like Google Docs, Notion, email, WhatsApp communities, etc.
  • Has handled logistics, timelines, vendors, and reporting before.
  • Experience in event planning, operations, education, or NGO work.
  • Can work independently, follow through, and handle ambiguity.
  • Mostly remote role, but you'll need to attend in-person events and meetings when needed (e.g. Somerset West, Stellenbosch, Cape Town). Driver’s licence and own transport are a plus.

Bonus if you:

  • Have a background in youth, education, or coding-related initiatives.
  • Have worked with grants, sponsorships, or institutional partners.
  • Can handle some basic design or formatting tasks to help comms go out faster.

Arrangement

Full-time (part-time negotiable).

Remuneration

From R26 000 to R30 000 per month, depending on experience. We’re open to discussing compensation based on experience and the value you bring to the role.

Location

Mostly remote, with occasional in-person meetings and event support in the Cape Metropole and surrounds. Ideally based near Somerset West, where most of the team is located.
