About US
Code for Africa CfA is the continent’s largest network of indigenous African
civic technology and investigative open data laboratories, with over 70 staff
in 15 countries, who build digital democracy solutions that are intended to
give citizens unfettered access to actionable information that empowers them
to make informed decisions and that strengthen civic engagement for improved
public governance and accountability.
Job Summary ⇒ 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 include
helping to identify the sock-puppets, botnets, fake accounts and unwitting
proxies used by the shadowy ‘puppet masters’ who are producing and
disseminating false content. 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.
As an Investigative Data Analyst, you will help liberate the data-driven
evidence used to expose and neutralise coordinated behaviour or other malign
intentions. You will also help build the detailed datasets about PEPs, PIPs
and organised crime and corruption that are needed for our partners to ‘join
the dots’.
And, you will work with CfA’s Academy and other teams to help train others,
including journalists and human rights defenders, to find the stories and
trends hidden in the data.
Key Duties and Responsibilities ⇒
⇗ You will use CfA tools and methodologies to help research investigative
leads and/or hypotheses, based on digital signals/evidence from public
sources, and will analyse the evidence to produce timely and actionable
insights.
⇗ You will do so by planning and executing data gathering exercises involving
Arabic language sources, based on specifications that you help your team
define. You will apply appropriate advanced analysis strategies on the
resulting large and complex datasets to solve difficult, non-routine analysis
problems.
⇗ You will help transform the resulting data-driven insights into clear
narrative reports and presentations, underpinned by dossiers of verifiable
evidence, for non-technical audiences in both Arabc and English.
⇗ You will use the resulting signals and data to help watchdog partners, such
as journalists, produce evidence-driven analysis and reportage that is
accessible and understandable to both policymakers and the general public.
⇗ You will be part of a team of custodians for CfA’s open access OSINT tools
and platforms, including connected.AFRICA and CivicSignal and source.AFRICA,
amongst others.
⇗ You will help strengthen civil society and media capacity to undertake its
own forensic data analysis, by supporting CfA training initiatives and by
helping produce step-by-step courseware or tutorials teaching our
methodologies.
⇗ You will help build a multicultural and transnational team ethos that
values creativity and human-centred design principles.


Qualifications, Skills and Experience ⇒
⇗ Demonstrable investigative skills honed from at least two years experience
in investigative journalism, prosecutorial law, OSINT intelligence, due
diligence, asset tracking, compliance, or other investigative professions with
precision writing skills. CfA will not consider any applicants who served with
government intelligence agencies.
⇗ An understanding of influence operations, including both disinformation and
misinformation, as well as digital amplification and viral media techniques
would be a benefit.
⇗ Critical thinking skills, and an obsessive attention to detail, with
excellent numeracy and analytical skills.
⇗ Effective written and verbal communication skills.
⇗ Fluent in Arabic and English for the Sudan position or, alternatively,
fluent in English and French for the Senegal position, or alternatively
fluent in English for the Nigerian or Ugandan position.

Preferred
⇗ Experience with statistical software e.g. R, Python, MATLAB and database
languages e.g. SQL for network analysis, as well as using tools such
Brandwatch or CrowdTangle for social media analysis.
⇗ Experience in using digital technologies for conducting OSINT investigative
research into influence operations and related mis-/disinformation techniques,
and/or analysis of online polarisation or hate-speech or extremism/militancy
and other malign content, and/or experience at using data-driven network
analysis/named entity recognition tools for analysing PEPs politically
exposed people or PIPs politically influential people or institutional
networks.
⇗ Familiarity with mining and handling large datasets, with demonstrable
skills in selecting the right statistical tools and articulating analytical
questions/approaches given a data analysis problem.
⇗ Experience working on the digital collaboration tools that CfA uses for
managing workflow, ranging from Slack and Trello, to Github and Google Drive
would be an advantage.
⇗ Demonstrable creative problem-solving/lateral thinking skills and self-
direction, with an ability to work consistently in a fast-paced environment.
Willingness to learn new techniques, and teach others.
⇗ An understanding of religious freedom/extremism, terrorism networks,
international money laundering operations, and/or criminal structures would be
a bonus.
What We Offer
⇗ A competitive salary, subject to experience, with opportunities for
performance-based growth, both in terms of career path and public stature.
⇗ A dynamic workplace, with a transnational team, occasional international
travel, and generous vacation benefits.
⇗ Ongoing opportunities to learn new cutting-edge skills and
techniques/technologies to future-proof yourself in a rapidly evolving
industry.
⇗ A chance to shine on a global stage, writing for international audiences
