The research should explore how digital transformation, fintech, mobile money, artificial intelligence, open banking, financial inclusion, changing consumer behaviour, cybersecurity, regulation, and emerging financial products are likely to reshape Ghana’s financial ecosystem.

B2B Decision-Maker Researcher | Forensic Research

I run a market entry intelligence firm. I need a researcher who can build verified decision-maker profiles for B2B export campaigns. This is ongoing work for the right person. This is not a data list. This is not name scraping. This is not list building. Apollo, ZoomInfo, or similar tools can be a starting point. But if your final deliverable is a database export, do not apply. This project requires multi-source manual verification. You must know how to find information that is not sitting in a database and confirm it through independent sources. Deliverable Standard: Each profile must include: Full name, verified title, and company Decision authority mapping (who holds budget, who influences, who recommends) Contextual buying signals (hiring activity, expansion, new partnerships, supplier gaps) A tailored outreach angle (how to approach them and what to lead with) Verification Requirement: Multi-source manual verification is mandatory. This means cross-checking against live, independent sources — LinkedIn activity, company websites, press releases, industry registries, and corporate filings. The final profile must be confirmed through multiple sources, not pulled from a single database. To Apply: Please share 1–2 examples of similar decision-maker profiles you have built. Generic portfolios or list-building experience will not be considered. In your proposal, answer these three questions: What is your process for verifying a contact's authority and decision-making power? How do you identify buying signals and timing indicators? How do you handle contacts with little to no digital footprint? I will review samples and written process descriptions first. Shortlisted candidates will have a brief chat before any work begins. Budget: Negotiable based on experience and quality of samples

Fractional Marketplace Operations Specialist

VANDALUX is an early-stage, demand-first marketplace preparing for structured pre-launch validation. We are looking for a hands-on Marketplace Operations specialist to support the founder during the validation stage on a limited, flexible freelance basis. This is an operational role — not a general consulting assignment. The work will focus on marketplace activity that requires human intervention when it cannot be resolved automatically by the platform. This may include identifying and activating relevant sellers, suppliers or partners against specific buyer demand, conducting structured outreach and follow-up, tracking responses and outcomes, handling operational exceptions, and helping turn early manual processes into clear and repeatable workflows. Relevant experience may include: • Marketplace, e-commerce or platform operations • Seller, supplier or partner activation/onboarding • Supply-side outreach and relationship management • Marketplace launch or early-stage operations • Building practical workflows and SOPs from manual processes • Working independently in an early-stage environment Luxury industry experience is welcome but not required. Strong hands-on marketplace operations experience is more important. This is NOT an Amazon/Shopify store-management, product-listing, dropshipping or generic virtual-assistant role. The initial engagement is expected to run for approximately 3–4 weeks, on a limited and flexible hourly basis. The workload during this period may be light and will depend on actual marketplace activity. If there is strong mutual fit and VANDALUX progresses through validation, the engagement may be extended and the scope may grow over time. There may be an opportunity for a substantially broader operational relationship later if VANDALUX progresses successfully and there is strong mutual fit. When applying, please answer these three questions: Please describe one specific example where you personally activated, onboarded or coordinated sellers, suppliers or partners for a marketplace, e-commerce business or platform. If a buyer requested a specific product or opportunity and the marketplace had no immediately available supply, how would you approach finding and activating relevant supply? What is your hourly/day rate, your minimum engagement requirement, and your current availability for a limited fractional engagement?

Design - 128pp A5 trade catalogue, design and artwork

We're a UK distributor of industrial wood coatings and finishing products, and we need a designer to create our first product catalogue. 128 pages, A5 portrait, perfect bound. Roughly 100 pages of product listings — several products per page with images, descriptions and spec tables — plus around 20 pages of technical and advisory content at the front. Product data will be supplied as a spreadsheet, images as files, and we have brand guidelines and a logo. We're after a clean, dense, practical reference document rather than a glossy brochure. Think trade catalogue. You'd be responsible for the grid and layout design, the product page templates, the cover, and building out all 128 pages. Files must be print-ready for a UK litho printer: PDF/X-4, 3mm bleed, crops, CMYK, 300dpi. Please send examples of catalogue, directory or magazine work you've designed, along with your rate and an estimate of the time involved. We'd like to start with a paid trial — cover plus one 8-page section — before committing to the full project. The budget I have shown is not our budget I have just added something to get the advert up and running - please give your realistic budget.

Photographer with product experience (technical setting)

We're a deep-tech startup based on Cambridge Heath Road in East London, working on advanced battery recycling. We're looking for a photographer to come to our office for a mixed shoot of technology and materials, plus team photos. We work with battery-grade powders and need someone with close-up/product photography experience, ideally in an industrial, technical, or material-focused setting. Tech photos will include our materials (sheets, fine powders, and liquids), machinery, and a small warehouse-style working space. Our main challenge is that we need the photos to reflect that we’re scaling up, rather than looking lab-scale. As one example, we're thinking powder photographed on top of a barrel rather than in a small jar, or tight close-ups on machinery. Open to your ideas here too. We'd also like a few short (few-second) video clips of the materials, e.g. powder moving in a jar, if that's something you can offer alongside stills. For the team photos, we're a team of 8, and need individual headshots plus a few group shots. We're happy to work with students or photographers building their portfolio, as long as you can show some existing close-up/product work, ideally in a technical setting. Please send a rough quote, either a flat project rate or an hourly rate, plus a separate quote if video is included. Before booking, we'll ask you to confirm you're comfortable signing a short confidentiality agreement (not discussing or disclosing any non-public technical or business details seen or overheard during the shoot) and agree that we own full commercial rights to the final images. You're welcome to use them in your own portfolio, with the exception of any specific images we flag as restricted at the time.
