Job Title: Program & Growth Lead

Location: Lagos 
Employment Type: Full-time

The role

• You will own two things: the quality of every program we deliver, and revenue growth pipeline. A strategic problem-solver who will genuinelycare about the commercial outcomes. 
• You will run academy operations from cohort design to launch, operations, and completion, and lead the sales and marketing team that generates and turns leads into paid enrolments.
• This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable with managing interns, instructors, students, and data.

Key responsibilities
Program:

• Recruit, coordinate, and review instructors and their performance.
• Own student success: attendance, progress tracking, completion, and feedback.
• Manage training partners and AI CERTs® partners' relationships.
• Design and launch new programs, with clear pricing and break-even targets.
• Handle program budgets and propose improvements to processes and tools.

Growth:

• Set enrollment targets for each cohort and own the funnel from lead generation to paid enrollment.
• Lead and manage the Sales and Marketing team, setting weekly targets and reviewing results.
• Keep the Zoho Bigin pipeline accurate, with clear stages, follow-up standards, and weekly reporting.
• Supervise lead generation and conversion across paid and organic channels with a focus on lead quality.
• Build B2B and community partnerships that bring in group and corporate enrolments.
• Report weekly and monthly to the CEO on enrolments, revenue, and performance.

Requirements
Essential:

• Minimum of 2 years in program management, operations, or growth, ideally in education, edtech, or training.
• Must have completed NYSC
• Strong leadership and people management skills.
• Proven experience leading or coordinating a sales or marketing campaign or similar, and hitting attendance, enrolment, or revenue targets.
• Able to work and think independently and proactively within a stipulated timeline.
• Comfortable with CRM tools (Zoho Bigin, HubSpot or similar) and funnel metrics.
• Experience using workplace productivity tools and working with spreadsheets.
• Strong communication, with the ability to manage instructors, students, teams, and partners.
• Access to a PC, reliable internet, and backup power.
• Forward-thinking and execution driven.
• Must reside in mainland Lagos.

Advantageous:

• Familiarity with AI, data, or professional certification programs.
• Experience in cold outreach and business partnerships.
• Network of professional communities

What success looks like:

• First 30 days: you have taken over the active cohorts and pipeline and understand the numbers.
• First 90 days: a repeatable cohort launch process is in place, and the sales and marketing team has clear targets and a weekly review.
• First year: cohorts consistently reach their enrolment targets, completion rate, and satisfaction targets.

What we offer

• Competitive pay plus performance bonus tied to enrolments and cohort outcomes.
• A senior role in a growing edtech startup
• Discount access to our AI courses and programs.
