Become a Maven
Maven (n.) — an expert who can't help but share what they know. If that's you, pitch us. Every submission is read by our editors.
What you get
An audience that already reads
400,000+ professionals across CareerBuddy, Workie and WorkHerholic — no cold start.
A profile that works for you
Your own Maven page with bio, links, expertise tags and a custom social card.
Editorial support
Our editors shape the brief, tighten the draft and handle distribution. You bring the expertise.
Who qualifies
- You have 5+ years of hard-won experience in your field
- You work in, or build for, African markets
- You have a specific point of view — not general career advice
- You can commit to at least one piece a quarter
How review works
- Pitch submitted
You send us who you are, the track you fit, and the playbook only you can write.
Takes ~5 minutes - Editor review
An editor reads the pitch and checks the angle against what we have already published.
Within 14 days - Invited to contribute
We email a brief, agree the outline, and set a draft date with you.
1–2 weeks after review - Live as a Maven
Your piece publishes and your Maven profile goes live on the directory and track page.
