Talent Safari - Content Lead

• You have at least four years of experience writing about business, technology, or economics, and you can show us published work that you reported and wrote yourself. • You have edited other people's writing, whether as an editor, a section lead, or a writer who reviewed colleagues' drafts. • You already know people in African tech. You can get a founder, an investor, or a policy official on the phone when a story needs them. • You understand how African tech companies make money, raise money, and fail, and you can explain that to a smart reader who is not a specialist. • You meet deadlines without being chased, and you say early when a story is at risk. • You communicate clearly in writing and on calls, and you can disagree with an editor without making it personal. • You can write. You do not rely on AI to produce your drafts, and you are comfortable proving that in our writing task. • You are curious about podcasts, video, and other media, and you have opinions about what makes them work. • You adapt quickly when a story breaks, a plan changes, or a format is not working. • You have read Tech Safari, Ag Safari, and The Big Move before applying. You do not need to have been a long-time reader, but you should know what we publish and where you think we could be better. • You are comfortable with funding data, company reports, and simple spreadsheets, and you can turn numbers into a clear argument. • You have reported from more than one African market. • How we work, and where we stand on AI • We are a small team that uses good tools to do the work of a much bigger one. You will be given room to own your editions, and you will be expected to hold a high bar without being supervised line by line. • We use AI tools across the business, and you are welcome to use them for research, transcription, and admin. The writing, however, has to be yours. Our readers come to Tech Safari for judgement and voice, and those cannot be outsourced. Every shortlisted candidate will complete a writing task, and we will track how the piece is written as well as the final draft. • Location and terms • This is a full-time, remote role open to candidates anywhere in Africa. We have a preference for candidates based in Nairobi or Abuja, where much of our team, network, and many of our events are. • We would like the right person to start as soon as possible.
