We are recruiting to fill. the position below:
Job Position: Business Hub Manager
Job Location: Onitsha, Anambra
Job type: Full-time
Team Leadership Objectives
- The targets above are not achievable by one person. You will hit them through a field team, or you will not hit them.
- Build the team. Recruit, train and deploy Market/Account Managers and adhoc canvassers sized to the market. Hire for hustle and local credibility — the trader must recognise your rep.
- Make every rep a three-product seller. No rep is "the loan guy" or "the POS guy". Every field member must be able to open a collections conversation, qualify a loan, and spot an FX customer. Certify them, test them, and don't deploy anyone who can't do all three.
- Set individual numbers, not team vibes. Every rep carries a personal target across book, merchant count and bundle. Publish the numbers. Rank the team weekly.
- Run a hard cadence. Daily morning huddle before the market opens, weekly pipeline and portfolio review, monthly performance review against target. Short, numbers-first, no theatre.
- Coach in the field, not the office. Regular accompaniments and market walks with each rep. You should be in the market with your team several days a week — this is not a desk role.
- Own collections rigour with the team. The same people who book the loan chase the repayment. Build the follow-up discipline early; a hub that lends well and collects badly loses money.
- Manage performance honestly. Recognise and reward the top of the table quickly. Address underperformance within a defined window — coach, then decide. Build a bench so no single rep's exit dents the book.
- Grow your successors. Identify and develop team leads who can run sub-markets, so the hub scales beyond your personal coverage.
Requirements
- 8+ years in financial services, fintech, or lending/credit business development, with a real track record of carrying revenue or portfolio targets. SME/retail credit, agent banking or trade-finance experience is a strong plus.
- Proven people leadership — you have built, trained and managed field sales or credit teams (direct reports and/or agent networks) and can hold 20+ people to daily and weekly numbers.
- Business acumen and P&L literacy — comfortable owning a budget, reading a credit and revenue model, and making the trade-off between growth, cost and risk.
- A credible network in the market — existing relationships with market leaders and trade associations, or a demonstrated ability to build them fast.
- Working knowledge of credit mechanics — pricing, NPL management, collections — plus comfort selling or overseeing sales of merchant acceptance and FX products.
- Multi-product selling instinct — you naturally look at a merchant and see three needs, not one transaction.
- Resilient, hands-on operator — based in-market, travelling across the state, entrepreneurial. This is a build-from-scratch, playbook-defining role, not a maintenance role.
- Clear reporting skills — you can explain performance and risk plainly to the Credit Portfolio Manager and senior stakeholders.
Benefits
- Competitive base salary
- Performance bonus / sales commission
- 13th month allowance
- Health insurance, pension and paid time off
- Learning & development allowance
- Career progression in a performance-driven environment.
