Job Description:

We are seeking a methodical and proactive Administrative Assistant to support the operational core of our mission in Nigeria. This role is a critical intersection of general administration, transparent procurement, and complex logistics coordination.

Working within the Corus International family, you will ensure that our programs have the supplies, transport, and administrative backbone necessary to serve communities effectively.

• Compliance Stewardship: Ensure every purchase adheres strictly to organizational policies and international donor regulations (e.g., USAID, FCDO, or Global Fund standards).

• Financial Liaison: Manage the vendor database and track payment statuses, collaborating closely with the Finance team to ensure our partners are paid accurately and on time.

2. Fleet, Travel & Mission Logistics

• Fleet Oversight: Track vehicle movement, mileage, and fuel consumption (including generator consumables like diesel) to ensure maximum operational efficiency.

• Mission Support: Coordinate complex travel logistics for staff, consultants, and visitors, including hotel bookings, flight arrangements, and field mission planning.

• Asset Maintenance: Support the Office Manager in scheduling routine maintenance for vehicles and office equipment to prevent downtime.

3. General Administration & Facility Governance

• Office Vitality: Oversee the availability and distribution of office supplies and stationeries, ensuring the team has the tools needed to succeed.

• Information Management: Maintain a rigorous filing system (both physical and digital) that allows for the rapid retrieval of documents during audits or reviews.

• Meeting Coordination: Handle the logistical preparation for high-level meetings, workshops, and training events.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Education: First Degree in Business Administration, Social Sciences, or a related field.

• Experience: 1–3 years of experience in Administration or Procurement (INGO sector experience is highly preferred).

• Software: Proficiency in Microsoft Office and database management tools.

• Sector Knowledge: Familiarity with the operations of international faith-based or relief organizations is a significant advantage.

Core Competencies

• Ethical Discipline: Unwavering commitment to the Corus Code of Conduct and preventing workplace harassment or abuse.

• Analytical Precision: The ability to compare complex vendor bids and track fuel/mileage data accurately.

• Collaboration: A team-oriented work style with the self-motivation to complete tasks independently under minimal supervision.
