HADLAR | Remote | Freelance
HADLAR is a remote-first consultancy developing a monitoring and intelligence programme for a government client in West Africa, supporting the regulation of the mining sector and the national response to illegal and non-compliant mining activity. We're looking for a freelance Project Manager with a mining governance background to help shape the programme and lead its delivery as it progresses through scoping, pilot, and national deployment phases.
The Role
- Support proposal development, client positioning, and engagement with ministry and regulatory stakeholders
- Lead delivery of a multi-phase monitoring programme as it comes online
- Design the operational framework: how monitoring intelligence integrates into regulatory, licensing, and enforcement workflows
- Shape intelligence products (reporting, prioritisation, compliance tracking) around the real needs of regulators and enforcement agencies
- Coordinate a distributed technical team (satellite data, GIS, platform development)
- Travel to West Africa for key milestones (periodic, short trips)

- Strong understanding of licensing regimes, concession compliance, and the realities of illegal mining
- Proven project management capability — stakeholder coordination, delivery planning, reporting
