  • Financial literacy for entrepreneurs

• Use charts, data, and expert quotes to back up arguments

• Collaborate with the editorial team on content planning and SEO

✅ Who We’re Looking For

• Location: Based in Lagos or able to cover Nigeria’s financial and business landscape accurately

• Experience: Background in finance, economics, business journalism, or blogging

• Writing Style: Clear, engaging, and informative—think The Economist meets Quartz Africa

• Mindset: Curious, self-directed, responsible with deadlines

• Tools: Basic familiarity with Google Docs, WordPress, and SEO best practices

📚 Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Journalism, or related fields

• Experience writing for financial media outlets, blogs, or newsletters
