We're Hiring

The Modern Agriculture Network, TMAN, is a professional network connecting farmers, agribusiness founders, investors, institutions and members of the African diaspora across the agricultural value chain.

Through educational programmes, industry webinars, practical resources and professional networking, we are building an informed and well-connected agricultural network.

We are looking for a highly organised, proactive and teachable Executive Assistant and Member Operations Coordinator.

You will work closely with TMAN's founder, helping her manage her schedule, priorities and follow-ups while supporting the daily operations of the network.

This is an in-person role. When the founder is in Lagos, you must be available to work alongside her in person each working day and accompany her to relevant meetings, activities and events.

The role will also involve travelling with the founder within Nigeria when required. This may occasionally include overnight travel. Approved business travel expenses, including transportation and accommodation where necessary, will be covered by the company.

• Manage the founder's calendar, appointments, meetings and reminders
• Maintain clear task lists and monitor deadlines
• Organise meetings, prepare agendas and record action points
• Ensure that agreed actions and follow-ups are completed
• Support email management, correspondence and document preparation
• Assist with travel planning, itineraries and bookings
• Accompany the founder to meetings, events and business trips
• Help coordinate arrangements during business travel
• Respond to routine member and prospective member enquiries
• Support the onboarding of new TMAN members
• Coordinate webinar registrations, reminders and follow-up communications
• Maintain accurate member records, trackers and internal documents
• Follow up with speakers, partners, members and service providers
• Help coordinate virtual and in-person events
• Document and improve internal processes
• Provide general operational support where required

• Extremely organised and attentive to detail
• Proactive and able to notice what needs to be done
• Dependable and consistent with follow-ups
• A clear and professional communicator
• Discreet when handling confidential information
• Comfortable receiving direct and detailed feedback
• Able to apply instructions accurately
• Willing to ask questions when something is unclear
• Comfortable travelling within Nigeria
• Flexible enough to support a founder's changing schedule
• Confident using digital tools or able to learn them quickly
• Genuinely interested in agriculture, entrepreneurship and startup environments

Recent graduates and early-career candidates are encouraged to apply. You do not need years of executive assistance experience.

We value intelligence, initiative, attention to detail and teachability over a perfectly polished CV. However, being junior does not mean being passive. You must be willing to learn quickly, take responsibility for your work and improve when feedback is given.

You must be based in Lagos or already live close enough to commute reliably to Lagos Island.

Your normal travel to and from the workplace is your responsibility. The company will not pay for your daily commute, accommodation in Lagos or transportation into the office.

Please do not apply if you would need the company to fund regular long-distance travel, flights or accommodation for you to report to work in Lagos.

Separate business travel undertaken for TMAN, such as accompanying the founder to another state, will be arranged or reimbursed by the company when approved in advance.

We want to build a team that grows with TMAN.

The intention is to develop a long-term working relationship with the successful candidate. As TMAN grows, there will be opportunities to take on more responsibility, develop new skills and progress within the company.

Progression will depend on individual performance, business requirements and the continued growth of TMAN.

Through educational programmes, industry webinars, practical resources and professional networking, we are building an informed and well-connected agricultural network.

We are looking for a creative, commercially aware and teachable Marketing and Education Associate.

You will help communicate the value of TMAN, market our programmes and turn agricultural information into clear, useful and engaging educational content.

This is an execution-focused role. You do not need to arrive as a complete marketing expert, but you must be able to understand an audience, follow the brand's direction and turn ideas into finished work.

• Support the planning and execution of marketing campaigns
• Promote TMAN membership, webinars, events and educational programmes
• Write captions, emails, website copy and promotional materials
• Repurpose webinars, research and founder-led content across different platforms
• Help create presentations, guides, workbooks and educational resources
• Research agricultural topics and verify information before publication
• Support the coordination of speakers and educational contributors
• Maintain content calendars and ensure campaigns are delivered on time
• Schedule and publish approved content
• Create basic designs using Canva
• Support basic short-form video editing when required
• Monitor reach, engagement, enquiries, registrations and conversions
• Use campaign results to identify practical improvements
• Help maintain consistency across TMAN's communications

• A strong writer and clear communicator
• Creative, curious and interested in understanding audiences
• Organised and able to meet deadlines
• Comfortable using social media and digital platforms
• Able to explain complicated information simply
• Willing to research and fact-check agricultural subjects
• Proactive and comfortable taking ownership of tasks
• Receptive to detailed feedback
• Able to apply corrections accurately and consistently
• Genuinely interested in agriculture, education and African business

Experience with Canva, social media management, copywriting, email marketing, research, video editing or educational content is beneficial but not essential.

An agricultural background or demonstrable interest in agriculture is strongly preferred.

Recent graduates and early-career candidates are encouraged to apply.

We value creativity, intelligence, attention to detail and teachability over years of formal experience. Training, guidance and direct feedback will be provided, but you must be willing to learn quickly and take responsibility for improving your work.

You must be based in Lagos or already live close enough to commute reliably to Lagos Island when required.

This is a hybrid role, not a fully remote position. You will be expected to attend scheduled meetings, working sessions and events in Lagos.

Your normal travel to and from the office or an agreed Lagos working location is your responsibility. The company will not cover your ordinary commute, accommodation in Lagos or transportation into the office.

Please do not apply if you would need company-funded long-distance travel, flights or accommodation each time you are required to work from Lagos.

Separate business travel undertaken for TMAN outside your normal Lagos working arrangements will be arranged or reimbursed by the company when approved in advance.

We want the successful candidate to grow alongside TMAN.

As the network and its educational programmes expand, there will be opportunities to develop new skills, take ownership of larger campaigns and progress into a more senior marketing or education role.

Progression will depend on individual performance, business requirements and the continued growth of TMAN.

• Respond to prospective member and partner enquiries

• Organised enough to manage several conversations simultaneously
• Proactive, resilient and comfortable creating opportunities
• Receptive to direct feedback
• Genuinely interested in agriculture, business and African markets
