Job description

Insights Manager

About this role


The successful candidates will be part of a ‘technology for good’ team of forensic researchers and data scientists/analysts at the iLAB, who work in support of African watchdog newsrooms and other human rights-defending organisations.


The iLAB’s role is to offer these newsrooms/civic watchdogs a robust toolkit of open source intelligence (OSINT) leads and resources, along with investigative support for identifying and exposing disinformation and other influence operations intended to undermine our democracies and our economies, often by creating social discord or polarisation.

Your duties will be managing projects.

You will help build their teams and shape their systems and improve their products.

You will work with the project teams to ensure that partnerships and project deliverables are met and that stakeholders are kept informed and engaged.


The iLAB also actively gathers evidence on corruption and organised crime affecting the public sector, and transforms the information into actionable data to help civic watchdogs and investigative media better understand the nexus between politically exposed/influential people (PEPs and PIPs) and organised crime networks, and their role in subverting public resources.


We operate in a fast-paced environment, so you will need to be agile in your management approach, quick to understand and learn new things, and creative in finding solutions to any problems that arise.

You will also need obsessive attention to detail and be comfortable handling multiple tasks and deadlines.


Required minimum requirements include:

  • 5+ years of experience as a project manager or a related position, preferably within the media, tech, nonprofit, or development sectors.

  • Demonstrable experience managing editorial teams and projects in newsrooms, think tanks, research hubs, or investigative journalism settings.

  • Demonstrated expertise in production workflows, project management systems, or newsroom operations.

  • Strong organisational skills and a knack for multitasking under pressure.

  • Experience with collaborative tools like Trello, Slack, Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides), Notion, or Airtable.

  • Familiarity with editorial timelines, content calendars, and structured delivery cycles.

  • Excellent editorial judgment and the ability to distil insights from complex, dense research into clear, engaging content.

  • Strong writing and editing skills with an emphasis on clarity, brevity, and storytelling in English.

  • A collaborative, culturally sensitive approach to cross-border teamwork.

  • High professional ethics and a rigorous attention to detail.
  • Preferred: candidates who are able to demonstrate the following will have an advantage:

  • Knowledge of information disorder (misinformation, disinformation, mal-information) and/or online conspiracist or hate speech content.

  • Experience in open source intelligence (OSINT) research and fact-checking.

  • Familiarity with online publishing platforms and social media tools.

  • Experience building partnerships with newsrooms, civil society, or digital advocacy groups.

  • Proficiency in French, Arabic, Swahili, or other widely spoken African languages (in addition to English).
  • Language and Location Requirements:

  • Location: Africa

  • Preferred location: Anywhere in Africa

  • Languages: English and/or French

  • Required Skill Profession
