The Aboki Africa is Hiring Data Officer, Office Manager and Sales & Marketing Roles in Lagos and Abuja
The Aboki Africa, an impact-driven organisation that links local leather artisans with customers and works to raise artisan income, product quality and access to economic opportunities, is recruiting for three positions across Lagos and Abuja. The organisation is building a network of leather artisans in Nigerian cities and runs programmes, partnerships and hub operations that support that network.
Employment type is not stated in the listing. Salary and benefits are also not stated. Candidates are asked to apply for the position and location that best match their availability and to consider the stated work arrangement when choosing.
What each role involves day to day
Data Officer (Lagos and Abuja – in-person)
This is a field-facing role. You will identify skilled leather workers in the city assigned to you, meet artisans directly, introduce them to The Aboki Africa and its network, and walk interested people through the onboarding process. The work contributes to building a structured network of local leather professionals. Expect regular movement within the city and repeated one-to-one engagement rather than desk-based analysis alone.
Office Manager (Lagos Mainland and Lagos Island – hybrid)
The focus is keeping the assigned office organised, coordinating the local team, supporting day-to-day operations, making sure tasks that pass through the office are handled properly, and helping operational responsibilities finish on time. You also contribute to the systems and processes that keep local operations running. The hybrid arrangement means a mix of office presence and remote work, though the exact split is not detailed in the listing.
Sales & Marketing (Lagos – hybrid)
This role supports sales, marketing and brand-building. The emphasis is on how the organisation presents and communicates its brand across digital channels and physical activities. It is intended for someone who can contribute to both online and on-the-ground brand work as the organisation expands. Specific daily tasks beyond that description are not listed.
Who these roles suit – and who may find them difficult
The listing describes hands-on positions where people are expected to contribute directly to operations, programmes and execution. Suitable candidates are those who are proactive, can take responsibility without constant supervision, are comfortable working with trackers, numbers and weekly reviews, care about both impact and effective execution, and are willing to own assigned responsibilities. Interest in an organisation that uses structured systems to improve economic opportunities for local artisans is also listed.
Someone who prefers tightly defined tasks with close daily oversight, or who is uncomfortable with field engagement, trackers and weekly reviews, may find the roles harder. Skills or experience beyond the general candidate profile above are not stated in the listing. Documents required are also not stated.
Practical tips for your CV or interview
- For the Data Officer role, show any previous work that involved finding, meeting or onboarding people in informal or artisan settings. Concrete examples of building lists or networks of local operators will be more useful than generic “community engagement” claims.
- For Office Manager, highlight times you kept an office or team organised under limited supervision and used simple trackers or weekly reviews to keep tasks moving.
- For Sales & Marketing, point to specific digital and physical brand or promotional activities you have contributed to, especially any that involved both online channels and on-the-ground presence.
- Across all three roles, prepare short examples of owning a task from start to finish without needing constant check-ins, and of working with numbers or simple trackers.
- If you use a free CV tool such as the AlertNaija247 CV Builder, keep the document focused on the exact location and work arrangement you are applying for rather than a generic multi-role CV.
