Job Description/Requirements

Responsibilities:

Research & Investigation:
    •    Conduct interviews with government officials, business owners, industry experts
    •    Test and document processes (CAC registration, NIPC applications, etc.)
    •    Verify claims through multiple primary sources
    •    Gather evidence (screenshots, recordings, official documents)
    •    Build relationships with key stakeholders for exclusive access

Content Creation: 
    •    Deep-dive articles (2,000-3,500 words): Investigative pieces based on primary research 
    •    Case studies (1,500-2,500 words): Client stories backed by real data, timelines, and verified outcomes
    •    Industry reports (3,000-5,000 words): Market intelligence and regulatory analysis

Content Support:
    •    Occasional LinkedIn posts (research-backed insights)
    •    Newsletter content (original research highlights)
    •    Landing page copy (for new service offerings)

Volume:

1-2 major pieces per month (given research intensity) + occasional supporting content

Timeline per piece:

1-2 weeks research + 3-5 days writing + 2-3 days revision

Requirements:

• Can think like an investigator, not just a writer (comfortable conducting interviews, verifying claims)
• Can make cold calls to government agencies and industry contacts without fear
• Naturally curious and persistent (will dig until you find the real story)
• Research-driven (AI is your assistant, not your author)
• Write conversationally, not corporately (translate complex findings into clear insights)
• Comfortable with ambiguity and on-ground work (some topics require Lagos-based verification)
• Understand or willing to deeply learn Nigerian business ecosystem
• Have journalism, consulting research, or investigative experience (preferred but not required)

Critical skills:

• Interview technique (getting reluctant sources to open up)
• Evidence documentation (screenshots, recordings, notes)
• Fact-checking and multi-source verification
• Synthesis of complex information into actionable insights

You’re NOT a Fit If You:

• Rely on AI or Google as primary research sources
• Uncomfortable making calls or conducting interviews
• Need extensive hand-holding for research direction
• Write generic “business blog” content without original insights
• Can’t document research process and evidence systematically
• Expect to write from your desk without real-world verification

Tools provided:

• Access to Notebook LLM Pro (research synthesis)
• International calling solution (if needed for interviews)
• Call recording apps (Android-based)

Structure: Per-piece pricing or monthly retainer (negotiable)
Hours: Flexible (remote, but expect some on-ground Lagos work for verification)
Turnaround: 2-3 weeks per major research piece (research + writing + revision)
