About the Platform

EnabledJobs is being built as Nigeria's employment infrastructure for the underserved majority, not another job board, but a structured matching and pipeline platform that connects capable young Nigerians with employers who are serious about building workforce capacity. Employer and candidate activity is already underway.

In a country where youth unemployment is both a human crisis and a policy priority, EnabledJobs is positioned to become essential infrastructure, the kind of platform that governments, development funders, and serious employers want to be associated with and invested in.

The Role

This is a build mandate. You will take a platform with early traction and develop it into something that works at scale: operationally sound, growing on both sides of the market, and credible to institutional funders. You will work directly with the principal, with real authority and a real brief.

Key Responsibilities

    Own the operational performance of the EnabledJobs platform, candidate pipeline quality, employer relationship management, matching effectiveness, and user experience

    Build and maintain a growing portfolio of employer partnerships, with particular focus on organisations committed to structured youth employment

    Develop the candidate pipeline: sourcing, screening, onboarding, and placement systems that produce consistent, quality outcomes

    Establish the operational infrastructure of the platform, processes, systems, reporting rhythms, so it functions independently of founder involvement

    Identify and pursue institutional partnership opportunities: development funders, government programmes, and corporate partners

    Track platform metrics rigorously and use data to drive decisions about where to focus growth efforts

    Represent EnabledJobs externally with employers, partners, and stakeholders, with the credibility and confidence of someone who owns the platform

    Work with the principal to develop the scale capital narrative for institutional fundraising

First 90 Days — What We Expect

    Full review of current employer and candidate activity, documented, assessed, and presented to principal with recommendations

    Clear 12-month growth plan agreed with principal: targets for both sides of the market, priority employer segments, and key milestones

    At least two new employer partnership conversations initiated

    Operational systems and reporting rhythm established, the platform should feel managed, not improvised

Requirements & Qualifications

    Experience in employment platforms, HR tech, workforce development, or the Nigerian tech/social enterprise ecosystem

    Familiarity with development funder landscape in Nigeria (World Bank, USAID, FCDO, etc.)

    Experience working directly with or for a principal-led organisation

    Track record of building partnerships with large employers or institutional organisations

    Experience building or operating something from early stage, a platform, product, programme, or organisation, where you had real ownership of outcomes

    Strong relationship-builder: you are comfortable opening doors, holding conversations, and closing partnerships

    Operational rigour: you build systems, track things, and follow through without being chased

    Comfort with ambiguity, you can make good decisions with incomplete information

    Genuine belief in the mission of expanding access to quality employment for young Nigerians
