Do the Most Important Work of Your Career.

Lead our political desk coverage of the National Assembly, executive branch, and federal governance. You will break news, develop sources across party lines, and produce in-depth analytical pieces on legislative and policy developments.

• Minimum 6 years covering Nigerian politics at a national publication
• Demonstrable source network across all three tiers of government
• Experience with data-led political reporting (INEC data, procurement records)
• Fluency in at least one regional Nigerian language (desirable, not required)

Join our award-winning investigations desk to expose corruption, money laundering, and corporate malfeasance across West Africa. You will work with document-intensive datasets, cross-border source networks, and collaborate with international investigative consortia including ICIJ and OCCRP.

• ICIJ or equivalent investigative journalism training preferred
• Proficiency with OSINT tools (Maltego, OpenCorporates, company registries)
• Experience analysing financial disclosures, court filings, and leaked documents
• Demonstrated track record of stories leading to regulatory or legal outcomes

Launch and lead our new climate vertical, establishing The Providence News as the definitive African voice on the climate crisis. You will commission, edit, and occasionally report on oil industry accountability, agricultural disruption, and climate diplomacy — with a particular focus on stories the global north under-covers.

• 8+ years in environmental or science journalism
• Strong editorial judgement across formats: news, features, data visualisation
• Existing relationships with African climate scientists and policy officials
• Experience managing a team of reporters and freelancers

Produce our flagship daily podcast and long-form documentary audio series from our London Bureau. You will work with correspondents across Africa and Europe to transform complex reporting into compelling audio journalism, handling everything from research and scripting to final mix.

• Proficiency in Adobe Audition or Pro Tools
• Ability to coach journalists who are new to audio storytelling formats

• Strong data wrangling skills in Python or R
• Portfolio of published data visualisation projects
• Journalism background or close collaboration experience with reporters

Build and scale the infrastructure powering millions of daily readers. You will work across our Next.js frontend, GraphQL API, and PostgreSQL data layer — solving problems at the intersection of journalism and engineering: search, personalisation, real-time publishing, and editorial tooling.

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, and React (Next.js App Router)
• Experience with PostgreSQL query optimisation and Prisma or similar ORM
• Familiarity with Redis caching patterns and CDN configuration
• Passion for developer experience and internal tooling quality

Design the tools journalists use every day — from the article creation flow to the admin dashboard. You will work directly with editors and reporters to understand how they think, then translate those insights into software that makes the newsroom faster, more accurate, and less friction-filled.

• 3+ years in product design with a portfolio demonstrating systems thinking
• Proficiency in Figma including component libraries and design tokens
• Experience conducting user research with non-technical stakeholders
• Bonus: prior experience designing for content management or publishing tools

Own the analytics infrastructure that helps editors understand what is working, why, and for whom. You will build dashboards, run retention experiments, and surface reader insights that inform editorial strategy — without ever optimising for clickbait.

• Strong command of SQL for analytics queries against large datasets
• Experience with BI tools (Metabase, Tableau, or Redash)
• Understanding of reader engagement metrics beyond pageviews (scroll depth, return rate, member conversion)
• Ability to communicate data findings to non-technical editorial teams
