Qualifications/Requirements:

You don’t need any formal qualifications. You only need to prove that you are super smart and curious. You will be working for me, a crusty old English/German

journalist, based in and around Africa for more than 20 years. I settled in Accra a couple of years ago to produce radio documentary series. In the short term we undertake corporate investigations. My office and home are at Hechtech House in Osu, which includes guest rooms and a function hall which we manage. You will be working with a small team that includes an administrator, housekeepers and security staff.

You will learn a lot and the job could be a steppingstone, but you have to be willing to work harder than you can imagine.

To apply, send a CV and short cover letter to job_vacancy@hechtech.com

• Write and edit English at a professional level
• Research on the internet, and by other means
• Use a DAW, such as Adobe Audition or Pro Tools
• Speak Ga fluently

• Have experience with administration and marketing
• Are good with social media and computers -- software and hardware
