Head of Commercial at Hempawa Consult

Are you a high-performing business leader ready to challenge the status quo?

Do you thrive in fast-paced, high-impact environments where ambition and results matter?

If yes, this role is for you. We are hiring a Head of Commercial for a leading FinTech company that is transforming financial inclusion in Nigeria and across Africa. This is an in-person, mid-level management role based in Abuja, designed for a proven performer who can deliver growth, build partnerships, and lead winning strategies.

• Command the Market: Deliver actionable insights and competitive analysis that shape strategy.
• Inspire Teams: Mentor and lead a high-performing commercial unit.

• Results-Driven: A track record of consistently meeting and exceeding targets.
• Strategic & Bold: Strong ability to design and execute ambitious growth strategies.
• Relationship Builder: Exceptional communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Grounded in Abuja: Familiar with the Abuja market and able to leverage local opportunities.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Impact: Directly shape the commercial future of a fintech changing lives.
• Career Growth: Mid-level today, executive track tomorrow.
• Dynamic Culture: Work with innovators who reward results, not excuses.
• Competitive Rewards: ₦150,000 – ₦250,000 monthly plus performance-based incentives.
• In-Person Influence: Lead where decisions are made,  face-to-face in the capital city.
