Senior Associate, Investor Relations (Operator Finance)

Job Description This is not a maintenance role. The Senior Associate, Investor Relations (Operator Finance) will take full ownership of the operator financing cycle — from structuring and deploying credit to smallholder operators, to reporting on portfolio performance, to managing the relationships with the investors who fund it all. In 18 Months, You Will Have: Built a clean, investor-ready view of the full operator financing portfolio — with clear metrics on deployment, repayment performance, and risk. Supported the closing of major financing facilities that directly fund hundreds of thousands of smallholder farmer loans. Established a reliable investor reporting cadence that gives our partners confidence in our data and in us. What You Will Own: Own the end-to-end operator financing cycle — from credit structuring and loan disbursement to collections tracking, repayment analysis, and financial reporting on portfolio health. Prepare and maintain fiscal records, investment schedules, consolidated forecasts, and long-range financial plans with accuracy and discipline. Support active fundraising efforts: build and maintain data rooms, respond to due diligence requests, and prepare investor-facing financial models and decks. Requirements Who We're Looking For: You are a finance professional who has spent 7–10 years close to the intersection of credit, capital, and relationships. You understand the Nigerian banking landscape deeply — how DFIs think, how SME financing works, and what it takes to build the trust of institutional investors. You do not want to manage someone else’s spreadsheet. You want to own the full picture — and you want the work to mean something. You are energised by complexity, not paralysed by it. You can translate a messy portfolio into a clean investor narrative. You know when to escalate and when to solve. Critically, you are someone who thinks about the people who come after you. You build systems, document your work, and mentor others — not because you are asked to, but because you understand that a function that depends on one person is a fragile function. The Right Mindset: Care about what the numbers mean in the real world: a 2% repayment shortfall is not just a data point, it is a farmer’s household. Take ownership without being asked — and raise issues without being told. Want to build something they are proud of, not just execute what they are handed. Thrive in ambiguity and build structure where none exists — rather than waiting for a perfect brief. ​ Benefits Competitive salary Health Insurance Pension Performance Bonus Annual paid vacation Group Life Insurance
