Senior Programme Administration Officer at Sigma Consulting

Founded in 2013, Sigma Consulting Group, was born from a singular observation: Nigerian businesses have world-class ambition but often lack world-class operational structures.

We saw brilliant founders stuck in "family business" informality, unable to attract top talent or pass investor due diligence. We saw multinational corporations struggling to navigate local regulatory complexities. Sigma is the bridge. We bring the rigor, process, and compliance of a Fortune 500 company to ambitious SMEs, allowing them to scale without breaking.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:
