About the Role
I’m looking for a talented and driven individual to work directly with me and support my work at Paystack, Sporting Lagos, and other ventures I’m involved in. This role is structured as a 12-18 month paid fellowship, ideal for someone eager to gain hands-on experience across multiple domains before pursuing their next big move. My commitment to you is simple: I’ll be intentional about providing the exposure, experience, and learning opportunities you need to maximise your growth and prepare for whatever comes next in your career.
What You’ll Do:
- Project Management: Oversee the management of my projects, ventures, investments, and ongoing initiatives.
- Travel, Calendar & Logistics: Plan and coordinate my calendar and travel, including both domestic and international trips, visas, accommodations and itineraries.
- Personal Office Operations: Manage the administrative aspects of my personal office, including employee management, salary administration, and acting as a liaison for my personal staff.
What I’m Looking For
Must-Have:
- Taste, Craft, and Beauty: You should have a strong sense of what “good” looks like and an unwavering commitment to pushing the limits of excellence. You’re someone who strives for beauty and craftsmanship in every detail.
- Comfort with Ambiguity: You’ll often be working in situations where the path forward isn’t clear. You should be comfortable navigating this uncertainty with patience, resourcefulness, and creativity.
- Empathy & Perspective: A deep ability to see things from the perspective of others, whether it’s me, my colleagues, or the people we’re building for. I expect you to be nice and empathetic.
- Discretion & Confidentiality: You will have access to sensitive information and must demonstrate a high level of discretion, trustworthiness, and the ability to maintain confidentiality at all times.
Should-Have:
- Corporate Experience: If you’re a fresh graduate, I’ll expect that you’ve had some exposure to a corporate environment through internships or prior roles.
- Proficiency with Productivity Tools: Strong familiarity with tools like Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides), calendar management software, and task-tracking platforms like Notion or Asana.
- Pursuit of Excellence: You should have a growth mindset and an unrelenting commitment to continuous improvement and learning.
Nice-to-Have:
- Maker Mindset: Strong interest or experience in making things — this could be side projects, family businesses, creative pursuits, or building something from scratch.
- Experience with Travel Logistics: Prior experience planning and coordinating complex travel itineraries.
- Event Planning & Logistics: Experience organizing events, managing schedules, and handling logistics for large events.
