Expert Application Advice

What this role involves
You will lead business expansion across Francophone West and Central Africa from Abuja, building partnerships with key clients and government stakeholders. Day-to-day, you’ll identify market opportunities, negotiate contracts, and manage a pipeline of high-value deals—often requiring travel to French-speaking countries. Expect to balance strategic planning with hands-on relationship management to drive revenue growth in sectors like infrastructure, energy, or tech.

Key skills to highlight

  • Bilingual fluency in French and English (written and spoken) is non-negotiable.
  • Proven track record in B2B sales or business development across Francophone Africa, ideally with 5+ years of experience.
  • Strong negotiation, cross-cultural communication, and ability to navigate regulatory environments in multiple countries.
  • Data-driven mindset: you can analyze market trends and present actionable insights to senior leadership.

Taf4All CV tip
Add a “Francophone Market Wins” section to your CV. List 2-3 specific deals or partnerships you closed in French-speaking countries, including deal value, language used, and the client’s location (e.g., “Secured $500K contract with Abidjan-based logistics firm—negotiated entirely in French”). This directly shows your market expertise.

Before you apply
Verify the employer through Michael Page’s official Nigeria website or LinkedIn page. Michael Page never asks for upfront payments or sensitive personal data (e.g., bank details) during recruitment. If contacted, confirm the recruiter’s email domain is @michaelpage.com.ng. Stay safe.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
