Job Descriptions

• We are hiring two correspondents based in West and East Africa to join our team covering growth capital, private equity and debt investments in Africa.

• As part of this role, you will connect with and be known to the key industry players, and you will build a community of readers who return to the Backable platform to read your stories.
• You may wish to take a sector-agnostic approach to your stories, or you could focus on 2-3 sectors and develop subject matter expertise.
• Your stories will cover the entire investment lifecycle, from fundraising and dealmaking to exits.
• You will be required to publish two stories each month.

Minimum Qualifications
