Senior Associate, Tetra Foundation

The Position 

We are seeking a dynamic professional to help lead the charity's activities in Nigeria. 

This role requires exceptional organisation, process-management, and written and verbal communication skills, as well as the strategic and inter-personal capacity to promote the charity's mission and build and manage relationships across the charity's network. Candidates are likely to have a background in corporate-backed foundations, or other charities where there is sharp exposure to business and government (rather than reliance on public funding), but the role could also suit someone seeking to transfer from a high-quality corporate environment.  

Key Responsibilities 

The core function is the provision of high-class leadership of the charity's activities in Nigeria, working with executive management in London to craft and deliver the charity's mission. In practical terms, that means engaging with and managing local stakeholders, including donors, network supporters, government, and training institutions. The role holder will also manage a growing team of operational and admin staff.    

The role will require the preparation and presentation of high-quality reports and other communications for internal and external stakeholders. There will also be a focus on managing and improving business processes to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. The role holder will be required to engage and represent the charity at a senior level, internally and externally. 

Requirements

Experience 

• The ideal candidate will have 8+ years of experience across fast-paced, professional environments in the corporate sphere (e.g., consulting, finance, legal) and/or from the charity sector. 

Skills and Competencies 

• Exceptional organizational and process management skills.  

• Strong problem-solving abilities and analytical thinking.  

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.  

• High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities.
