  • Represent the organisation credibly in technical, commercial, and government stakeholder engagements

Requirements

  • Direct experience engaging with government, military, or critical infrastructure buyers
  • Strong grasp of cost structures, throughput trade-offs, and the economics of hardware at scale
  • Ability to command credibility in both technical engineering reviews and C-suite or procurement conversations
  • Nigerian nationals strongly preferred; candidates with relevant West African market knowledge are at an advantage

Preferred Background:
