Head, Corporate Finance and Investor Relations Job Type Full Time Qualification BA/BSc/HND , Professional Certificate Experience 12 - 15 years Location Lagos Job Field Finance / Accounting / Audit We're looking for a seasoned corporate finance professional to build and lead this function from the ground up: planning and appraising how capital is deployed, raising it on the best available terms, and representing the Group credibly to investors, rating agencies and development finance institutions.

What you'll own:

• Capital raising and execution — structure and close fundraising across project finance, SPV equity, joint ventures, receivables financing, non-interest facilities and, in time, commercial paper and bonds
• Financial planning and analysis — own the Group budget, rolling reforecast, monthly management pack and the Group financial model
• Deal appraisal and capital allocation — write the Group's investment policy and appraise every project before commitment
• Investor relations and ratings — build the investor data room, own the equity story, and lead the Group through to a first corporate credit rating

What you bring:

• A degree in finance, economics, accounting, engineering or a related field
• A professional qualification (CFA, ACA, ACCA, or equivalent)
• 12-15 years post-qualification experience, with a track record of closing transactions, not just preparing materials for them
• Experience across corporate finance, FP&A, and investor/lender relations
• Real estate, infrastructure or project finance underwriting experience strongly preferred
• Familiarity with the Nigerian funding market — banks, non-bank lenders, DFIs, SEC and FMDQ processes
• Exposure to a rating process, commercial paper programme or bond issuance is a strong advantage
• This is a build role for someone who wants to establish a function, not just run one — you'll recruit your own team, set the policies, and carry the transaction load personally while it comes together.
