    New Business Venture Manager

    Role Summary 

    • The New Business Ventures (NBV) Manager is responsible for identifying, evaluating, and advancing new business opportunities that support the Group's strategic growth ambitions under the BOLD Transformation. This role leads the Group's structured approach to business incubation, assessing market viability, building rigorous investment cases, and supporting the development of new ventures from concept through to execution readiness.
    • The role maintains a particularly close working relationship with the CTRO, who sponsors the Capital and Investment workstream, ensuring that the Group's new venture pipeline is fully aligned with its investment governance framework and strategic priorities. This is not a role about generating ideas, it is about building credible, evidence-based investment cases that equip leadership to make confident capital allocation decisions, and ensuring those decisions are tracked, implemented, and reviewed with the same rigour with which they were approved.

    Key Activities

    • Business Opportunity Identification & Evaluation – Identify and assess new business opportunities across sectors and geographies in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on strategic fit, market viability, and financial sustainability. – Conduct feasibility research covering economic, market, legal, and operational dimensions of potential ventures. – Prepare investment proposals with clear payback calculations, ROI projections, and risk assessments aligned to the Group's investment criteria. – Present findings and data-backed recommendations to the Head of PMO, the CTRO, and the Group Investment Committee. – Maintain a pipeline of new venture opportunities, ensuring each is tracked, assessed, and either progressed or deprioritised with clear, documented rationale.
    • Market Research & Strategic Intelligence – Conduct in-depth market research on industry trends, competitive dynamics, and emerging opportunities relevant to the Group's growth priorities. – Identify new markets, sectors, and adjacencies that align with the Group's strategic capabilities and investment appetite. – Monitor the Sub-Saharan African business landscape for shifts in regulation, consumer behaviour, and competitive positioning that create or close opportunities. – Provide the Head of PMO and CTRO with regular, structured intelligence briefings on market developments and the new venture landscape.
    • Investment Case Development – Build robust investment cases including financial modelling, risk mitigation frameworks, and scalability assessments, structured to meet the Group's investment governance standards. – Work closely with the Finance team to ensure financial projections are grounded, defensible, and aligned with the Group's budgetary parameters and investment thresholds. – Design business models that demonstrate a clear path to profitability and long-term value creation, connecting venture proposals to the Group's strategic KPIs. – Ensure investment proposals are structured to facilitate clear, informed decision-making by the MV35 Investment Committee, with documentation that meets governance requirements.
    • Stakeholder Engagement & Deal Development – Engage with regulators, government bodies, and industry stakeholders to understand the operating landscape and build credibility for new venture development. – Lead due diligence processes for potential acquisitions, joint ventures, or strategic partnerships. – Build and maintain relationships with potential investors, financial institutions, and strategic partners. – Support the structuring and negotiation of commercial agreements in line with Group strategy, governance, and legal parameters.
    • Business Incubation Support – Support the Group's approach to business incubation, contributing to the frameworks, tools, and processes that enable new ventures to be nurtured from early concept to operational launch. – Provide structured support to ventures in early development, helping define operating models, resource requirements, and performance milestones. – Work with BU leaders and the PMO team to ensure that approved new ventures are integrated appropriately into the Group's operational and governance structure.
    • Performance Monitoring & Reporting – Define and monitor KPIs for ventures in the pipeline and in early-stage development, tracking progress against financial and strategic milestones. – Provide regular, structured updates to the Head of PMO and CTRO on NBV pipeline status, investment decisions, and venture performance. – Conduct post-investment reviews to assess whether ventures are tracking against their original cases and recommend corrective action where needed. – Ensure the NBV pipeline feeds directly into the Group's investment governance calendar, with decisions and outcomes logged in the Actions & Decisions Register.

    Business Transformation Manager

    Role Summary 

    • The Transformation Manager is a critical delivery role within the Mohinani Group's BOLD Transformation, responsible for creating the execution conditions that enable the transformation to move at pace and deliver measurable results. Operating at the heart of the BOLD PMO, the Transformation Manager drives cross-functional change programmes, coordinates workstream delivery across Business Units and functional teams, and ensures that the transformation agenda is anchored in strong governance and clear accountability.
    • There are two Transformation Managers within the BOLD structure, one leading transformation delivery in Nigeria (Lagos), and one in Ghana (Accra), each accountable for driving transformation progress within their respective country context while maintaining full alignment with the Group-wide programme agenda. Reporting directly to the Head of PMO, the Transformation Manager acts as the primary coordination and delivery interface at country level, translating programme direction into structured execution, keeping workstreams on track, and ensuring the Head of PMO has the visibility and support needed to manage the transformation at Group level.

    Key Activities

    •  Programme Architecture & Planning – Maintain the BOLD Transformation country roadmap, sequencing workstreams, milestones, and interdependencies across all assigned Business Units and functional workstreams. – Translate programme direction from the Head of PMO into a structured, executable plan with clear phases, deliverables, timelines, and accountable owners. – Identify critical path activities and flag risks to the plan before they become blockers, bringing solutions, not just issues, to the Head of PMO. – Ensure the programme plan is a living document: updated and re-communicated following significant decisions or directional changes.
    • Governance & Decision Management – Maintain the Actions & Decisions Register, ensuring every decision is logged, approved, owned, and protected from informal revision. – Enforce the decision-reopening protocol, no decision is revisited without a formal change request and team review with relevant stakeholder(s) alignment. – Prepare governance packs and decision papers for sponsor and stakeholder engagements, ensuring they are purposeful, evidence-based, and aligned to transformation strategy. – Serve as the country-level custodian of the Team Working Framework, ensuring it is followed consistently and escalating where it is not.
    •  Stakeholder Engagement & Communication – Manage the stakeholder engagement map for the country, knowing who needs to be informed, consulted, or actively involved at each stage of the transformation. – Facilitate structured, purposeful engagements with BU leaders, ensuring each interaction has a clearly defined objective aligned to the programme. – Prepare BOLD updates for different stakeholder groups, ensuring communication is clear, timely, and adapted to the audience. – Build and maintain productive working relationships with HR, Finance, and BU leads to ensure cross-functional alignment at country level. – Proactively communicate progress, risks, and changes to the Head of PMO on a predictable, written schedule, surfacing issues early rather than reactively.
    •  Workstream Coordination & Integration – Coordinate across Business Unit and functional workstreams to ensure integration and prevent duplication of effort. – Identify and actively manage interdependencies between workstreams, flagging where one team's delay or decision impacts another. – Chair or facilitate regular workstream check-ins, ensuring owners are on track and blockers are surfaced and resolved early. – Maintain a consolidated view of all workstream progress for reporting and escalation to the Head of PMO. – Build and maintain clean knowledge-sharing mechanisms across BOLD workstreams, ensuring information flows efficiently and consistently.
    • Change Management & Adoption – Develop and execute a change management approach that genuinely brings BU leaders and their teams along with the transformation, not merely alongside it. – Proactively identify resistance or adoption gaps early and design targeted interventions in partnership with the HR workstream. – Ensure transformation tools, templates, and BOLD materials are kept current and applied consistently across workstreams. – Track organisational readiness at each milestone gate, flagging where additional change support is needed before advancing to the next phase. – Drive a people-centred transformation approach that embeds lasting cultural change and strengthens organisational resilience.
    •  Operational Efficiency & Process Improvement – Identify operational inefficiencies within workstreams and design targeted interventions to optimise processes and strengthen performance. – Support workstream leads in implementing process improvements, applying structured methodologies where appropriate. – Promote a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging teams to surface inefficiencies and take ownership of their resolution with KPI’s/metrics to maintain and sustain improvements. – Actively debottleneck the Head of PMO by managing day-to-day programme coordination, escalating only material issues that require senior intervention.
