About this role

Our client is an Africa-focused private capital fund manager investing in small and growing businesses across Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, and Senegal.

Job Summary
The Investment Manager will lead deal origination, structuring, and execution for the company's debt and RBF investments in Nigeria and — in partnership with our Francophone team — across West Africa. You will run transactions end-to-end, from pipeline development through due diligence, Investment Committee approval, legal documentation, and disbursement. This is a senior investment seat with real deal ownership.

Key responsibilities
  • Originate a pipeline of SME debt and RBF opportunities in Nigeria and support origination across Côte d'Ivoire and Senegal.
  • Lead end-to-end deal execution: commercial, financial, legal, and ESG due diligence; financial modelling; term sheet negotiation; and documentation.
  • Build investment memos and present transactions to the Investment Committee.
  • Structure debt and RBF instruments tailored to the SME's cash-flow profile, including covenants, security packages, and repayment schedules.
  • Manage investor-readiness and technical assistance interventions alongside the TA team.
  • Represent the organization with ecosystem partners: DFIs, banks, accelerators, and co-investors.
  • Mentor junior investment associate


Requirements

  • 6–10 years of relevant experience in private equity, private credit, venture debt, investment banking, or corporate finance — with at least 3 years focused on debt instruments.
  • CFA Charterholder (essential). Candidates at Level III with a clear path to charter will be considered.
  • Track record of leading transactions from origination through execution.
  • Strong financial modelling and valuation skills — DCF, LBO-style models, and debt structuring models.
  • Deep understanding of Nigerian SME credit dynamics; experience across West Africa is a plus.
  • MBA or Master's in Finance/Economics is a plus but not required
