About This Recruitment

• Provenfield Research Labs is recruiting on behalf of a client in the fashion technology sector. Our client is an early-stage startup building a digital platform that connects tailors and fashion designers with buyers. The client is growing a small, hands-on team to support vendor onboarding and platform operations. We welcome candidates who communicate clearly, take ownership and can adapt to evolving processes. Applications are managed by Provenfield Research Labs.

The Role

• You will identify and engage tailors and fashion designers, guide them through registration and verification, and support them in preparing product listings for review. This role combines outreach, relationship-building and persistent follow-up. Success means helping genuine vendors complete onboarding and become ready to sell, not simply collecting registrations.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and contact prospective tailors and fashion designers through appropriate online channels, calls, referrals and professional networks.

• Explain the platform and onboarding requirements clearly, without making unsupported promises about approval, sales or earnings.

• Guide vendors through account registration and submission of required verification information.

• Follow up on incomplete applications, outstanding documents and requested corrections.

• Help vendors understand how to prepare and submit accurate product listings.

• Explain review feedback and support vendors in addressing issues; approval decisions remain with the authorised review team.

• Maintain accurate outreach and referral records, track vendor progress and submit regular reports.

• Work with the Operations Manager to resolve onboarding issues and meet agreed monthly performance targets.

• What Success Looks Like

• Genuine referred vendors completing verification and progressing to approved listings.

• Timely follow-up, accurate reporting and adherence to onboarding standards.

• What You Bring

• Strong verbal and written communication, with confidence approaching and engaging new prospects.

• Good relationship-building skills, patience and consistent follow-through.

• Ability to organise multiple prospects and work independently against agreed goals.

• Comfort using spreadsheets, mobile applications and online platforms.

• Experience in sales, customer acquisition, onboarding or customer support is an advantage; familiarity with tailors or fashion businesses is a plus.

• Remote Working Requirements

• Applicants from anywhere in Nigeria are welcome; Lagos-based applicants are preferred.

• You must have your own working laptop suitable for online dashboards, documents, spreadsheets and video calls.

• You must have reliable working internet, a working phone and a suitable environment for focused remote work.

• You must be able to keep your devices powered and stay reachable during agreed working hours.

• You must be comfortable using email, online meetings and digital collaboration tools, and handling business and applicant information confidentially.

• Compensation and Contract

• This is an initial three-month contract. Performance will be evaluated monthly against agreed role expectations and objectives. The fixed monthly base pay is NGN 75,000. Additional monthly performance incentives range from NGN 0 to NGN 75,000, giving a maximum total monthly compensation of NGN 150,000. Incentives are not guaranteed and depend on agreed targets and quality standards. The qualifying milestones and payment terms will be set out in the contract.
