Description

• Work in close operational alignment with the CCO to ensure MDA access converts into signed contracts and cash receipts.

Institutional Relationship Management

• Represent the company as its primary institutional face at Director-General, Permanent Secretary, and ministerial level.

• Ensure the Company operates in full compliance with CAMA 2020, NCCG 2018, PITA, PenCom, NSITF, and all applicable Nigerian regulatory frameworks.

Executive Team Management:

• Hold direct accountability for the performance of the CTO and CCO — reviewing their individual KPI frameworks monthly and escalating underperformance to the Board.


• Commission and maintain Role Continuity Documents for each C-suite position within 30 days of commencement.

Requirements

• A Degree in Technology & MBA is mandatory with 10 years progressive professional experience, with at least 3 in a C-suite or leadership role carrying direct revenue accountability.


• Experience in government technology, digital transformation, or SaaS businesses targeting public sector clients in Africa.


• Prior role in a public-private partnership


• Demonstrated track record of closing government contracts in Nigeria — at federal or state MDA level.


• Experience of operating within a Board-governed company — Board meetings, executive reports, & operating within a delegation of authority.


• Fluent in English — written and verbal — to institutional presentation standard.
