Group Chief Executive Officer

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Group Chief Executive Officer

Location: Lagos
Job Type: Full-Time

Job Summary

• You will transform a high-level thesis into market reality by engineering the systems, securing local pipeline assets, and establishing the operational discipline required to scale across multiple countries.
• Success is measured by your ability to move from a structural startup blueprint into an institutional platform that enables exceptional local developments.

Key Responsibilities & Core Focus Areas
Platform Scaling & Spoke Onboarding:

• Enforce the implementation of the Afrihood "Hub-and-Spoke" model, ensuring localized developers seamlessly plug into our operational, legal, and technological frameworks.
• Oversee the vetting, strategic onboarding, and lifecycle management of incoming Project CEOs across the continent.

Institutional Finance Execution & Compliance:

• Manage relationships with premium multilateral financial institutions, sovereign credit guarantee companies (e.g., Shelter Afrique, InfraCredit), and private credit desks.
• Ensure strict ring-fencing of project-specific escrow accounts and audit all drawdown requirements to unlock multi-billion Naira institutional tranches cleanly.

Supply Chain & Operations Governance:

• Champion the Afrihood Central Procurement Desk, ensuring 100% centralized sourcing of structural materials across all regional spoke projects to eradicate inflation fraud and cost variance.
• Maintain rigorous oversight over our active Lagos launch portfolio (Aize Court, Uresa Court, Zaphire Court) and future continental pipeline developments.

Shielding the DNA & ISO Standards:

• Act as the ruthless gatekeeper of the Afrihood DNA: Sustainability, Afrocentrism, Community, World-Class Standards, Integrated Living, and Industry 4.0.
• Defend and enforce the company's triple ISO quality certifications (ISO 9001, 45001, 14001) across every footprint, executing zero-tolerance anti-dilution clauses if quality or governance is compromised.

The Ideal Profile
Experience & Qualifications:

• We are searching for a high-caliber corporate general, an executive who possesses a rare blend of deep institutional discipline and the operational agility to manage street-level execution partners.

Academic/Professional Pedigree:

• An MBA or advanced degree in Finance, Corporate Governance, Project Management, or a related discipline from a reputable global institution is highly valued. Premium professional certifications (PMP, CFA, etc.) are a significant advantage.

Proven Scale Leadership:

• 8 to 15+ years of executive-level experience (COO, MD, Partner, or Senior VP) managing large-scale networks, asset-light hospitality platforms (e.g., international hotel groups, Oyo frameworks), large agent networks, or premium real estate asset management firms.

Institutional Fluency:

• A deep background in management consulting (ex-Big 4 preferred), structured project finance, or institutional investment banking.
• You must speak the language of credit risk committees and multilateral development banks.

System-Builder Mindset:

• Uncompromising Integrity: An analytical, process-driven mind with zero tolerance for ethical shortcuts, operational slippage, or data discrepancies.
• A track record of developing, implementing, and enforcing rigid Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) across highly decentralized operations.

Our Ideal Candidate:

• If your ambition is merely to manage an already established company, this role is definitely not for you.
• If you have the execution grit to build a vision into a legacy, we want to hear from you.
• When history looks back, we want people to say this leader took a powerful continental vision and successfully built the institution that redefined how Africa builds cities.

What We Offer
This is not standard corporate employment; it is a founding executive placement. The successful candidate will receive:

• Significant performance-driven milestone incentives and long-term equity-alignment tracks matching the growth of the institution.
• A vehicle to build a legacy that directly redefines how African communities are developed for decades to come.
• The opportunity to shape a continental development platform from day one.
• A competitive executive compensation package structured for an early-stage enterprise.
