Tactical Report is a leader of Strategic and Market Intelligence in the Middle East & North Africa region since 2004 with a particular focus on the defense and energy industries.
Our reporters operate based on human intelligence (HUMINT), by means of interpersonal contact, as opposed to the more technical intelligence gathering techniques such as Open Source Intelligence (OSINT).
High-caliber reporters are the lifeblood of our business, and we firmly believe in rewarding those reporters' performance. Our audience is full of influential people who are dependent on key information to base their decisions on.
The great British newspaper publisher Lord Northcliffe once said: “News is what somebody, somewhere wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising.”

– Unearth previously unknown information about key people, situations, and deals that affect the defense and/or energy industries.

Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

– Collect data from a variety of credible confidential sources
– Use all your findings to prepare clean, concise and factual articles
– Respond to requests for information from our editors and turn them into fact-based information reports in an engaging and timely manner.
– As well as accumulating information, you must also gather supporting evidence in case your report is challenged
– Double-check everything you do, from the information you gather to the way you write your final report
Required skills:
– Minimum of 2 years’ working experience as a journalist or reporter in the Defense & Security and/or Energy sector, particularly in Oil & Gas
– Good reporting and verbal communication skills with a great attention to details
– Adequate experience with writing and editing tools (e.g., Microsoft Word)
