Nigeria's placement-first job network — verified roles across the 36 states and FCT
Emeraid Group is a development and enterprise conglomerate consolidating specialised subsidiaries across advisory, enterprise support, financial structuring, and asset-backed financing. Support in development and enterprise is too often delivered in fragments: training without financing, funding without a plan, programmes that don't outlast their pilot phase. Emeraid Group exists to close that gap. We bring advisory, capacity building, financial structuring, asset deployment, and technology together as one coordinated system and working end-to-end, from diagnostic to delivery, so that every intervention leads to measurable, lasting outcomes. We are recruiting to fill the position below:

A relevant degree or an equivalent professional pathway supported by strong practical evidence. A master's degree and a previous Chief of Staff title are not mandatory.

Excellent writing, synthesis, discretion and prioritisation. Able to challenge respectfully, follow up with senior colleagues and separate delegated action from reserved decisions. Strong digital productivity skills and safe use of shared calendars, permissions, meeting tools and document repositories. Accuracy matters more than the number of tools used.
