Job Title: Writer & Researcher (Full-Time)

Location: Remote | Africa

Reports to: Editorial Lead

Commitment: ~2 editions/week (1 original feature, 1 curated roundup)

About Us

Tech Safari is launching a new editorial project focused on Africa’s agriculture and food systems through the lens of technology, innovation, and investment. We’re bringing the same sharp, design-forward storytelling that powers Tech Safari into a space that desperately needs clarity and creativity.

We’re looking for a Writer & Researcher to help lead this storytelling work, someone who’s excited to unpack trends, interview innovators, and make readers care deeply about the future of food on the continent.

About the Role

This role is part journalist, part storyteller, part ecosystem explorer. You’ll lead the creation of editorial content—spotlighting startups, unpacking trends, and curating the week in African agritech.

What You’ll Do

• Write two editions per week:
  • One original feature edition focused on a founder, sector, story, or trend.
  • One curated roundup covering weekly agritech news, opportunities, and ecosystem activity.
• Research stories across value chains, countries, and agri-tech sub-sectors (from aquaculture to agribusiness SaaS)
• Interview stakeholders like startup founders, investors, and policymakers
• Write 1–2 LinkedIn posts per edition, summarising and amplifying the content for our audience
• Be a voice for the agritech reader: curious, informed, engaging, and always asking "why does this matter?"

You Should Apply If

• You’re a strong, creative storyteller who knows how to structure a compelling story.
• You’ve written newsletters, articles, or reports on business, agriculture, or tech.
• You’re comfortable conducting interviews and distilling big ideas into clear takeaways.
• You have a natural curiosity about food systems, innovation, and economic development in Africa.
• You’re consistent, organised, and thrive with weekly deadlines.
• Bonus: You know your way around SEO basics or have written for LinkedIn before.

What We Offer

• A front-row seat to Africa’s agricultural transformation.
• The opportunity to shape the tone and voice of a growing media brand.
• A remote-friendly team with flexible hours and plenty of autonomy.
• Space to pitch your own story ideas and bring new voices into the mix.

What Success Looks Like (First 60 Days)

• Pitch compelling narratives for Tech Safari.
• Draft and schedule your first four feature editions and four weekly roundups.
• Build a working content calendar alongside the Editorial Lead.
• Interview 6–10 ecosystem players and turn those insights into compelling reads.
• Establish a clear, warm, and distinctive editorial voice.
