We\u2019re hiring a technology reporter:<\/strong> EnterpriseAM is looking for a tech reporter to own the beat across Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and beyond.<\/p>\n

This is a reporting job \u2014 not a desk job. <\/strong>You\u2019ll be working sources, breaking stories, and writing about trendlines (not just headlines) in our voice and with the authority our readers expect. AI and digital infrastructure are huge features of the beat, but our interests are broad: fintech, telecoms, regulation, SaaS, and the bajillion ways tech is reshaping how businesses operate across the region.<\/p>\n

We want someone who can pick up the phone or WhatsApp<\/strong>, get people talking, and turn what they say into stories that senior decision-makers need to read. We also expect you to attend industry events and maintain relationships with PR folks across the industry without selling out. If you\u2019ve got 2-3 years of experience and the hunger to build a beat from the ground up, we want to hear from you. We\u2019re also interested in hearing from veteran reporters. Spoken Arabic is strongly preferred.<\/p>\n

The role is based in Cairo<\/strong>, though we\u2019re open to remote for the right candidate. If you\u2019re reading EnterpriseAM, you know what we\u2019re about: A no-BS daily news outlet that tells busy execs, investors, founders, and ambitious people what they need to know about the trends shaping business, economy, finance, regulation, and public policy across our region. We write stories that have impact \u2014 about issues that matter \u2014 for a global audience of decision-makers.<\/p>\n

Do we sound like the type of place where you want work?<\/strong> Send your CV and three clips to jobs@enterpriseamea.com. Also enclose a great cover letter that tells us who you are, what you do, and why you\u2019d be a great fit for this job.<\/p>\n
