- Be able to coordinate complex and fast-moving cross-border stories with colleagues in Africa, China, Europe, the United States and beyond
- Be a mentor who supports and inspires your team to sharpen their skills and achieve their career goals

- Have a deep knowledge of East Africa, including an understanding of the key issues and players, and a knack for explaining them to a global audience
- Have a proven ability to cultivate high-level sources, break news and deliver deeply reported, high-impact features
- Be a self-starter with excellent people skills and an ability to manage a diverse team working across multiple countries, cultures and languages
- Have strong diplomatic skills, including an ability to navigate challenging media environments
- Be fluent in English with strong writing skills; Swahili and/or French would be an advantage
