About Company:

Xymbolic Development Limited is a Nigerian real estate and property development firm established in May 2019. Based in Lagos, the company focuses on creating a multi-sector ecosystem that integrates real estate with agriculture, hospitality, and technology to generate income-producing assets for investors.

Job Description:

We are seeking a sharp, high-performing Business Operations Assistant to serve as the strategic right hand to the CEO and senior leadership team. This is not a traditional administrative role; it is a position for a "builder" and an "executor." You will act as the connective tissue between the CEO’s vision and departmental execution. Your mission is to design scalable systems, document high-impact processes (SOPs), and ensure that every strategic initiative is tracked to completion. If you are a former consultant, business analyst, or operations strategist who thrives on bringing order to complexity and driving cross-functional growth, this is your next challenge.

Requirements:

1. Systems Architecture & Process Engineering

• Process Mapping: Work deep within departments to audit, understand, and visualize existing operational workflows.

• SOP Design: Architect and maintain a comprehensive library of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure institutional knowledge is preserved and scalable.

• Operational Reviews: Lead initiatives to identify bottlenecks and design "lean" improvements across the business lifecycle.

2. Strategic Execution & Governance

• CEO Briefings: Prepare high-level briefs, operational summaries, and decision-support reports for the CEO and board members.

• Execution Tracking: Own the "Action Item Tracker" for senior leadership, ensuring cross-departmental accountability and timely delivery of key results.

• Cross-Functional Liaison: Coordinate between Finance, Sales, and Operations to ensure resource alignment and remove obstacles to execution.

3. Growth & Business Development Support

• Strategic Partnerships: Support the CEO in business development activities, including researching potential partners, managing vendor relationships, and vetting new customer opportunities.

• Special Projects: Lead high-priority, "Founder's Office" projects that fall outside traditional departmental silos.

Qualifications and Skills:

Professional Experience & Background

• Tenure: Minimum of 5+ years of experience in Operations, Strategy, Management Consulting, or Business Analysis.

• Pedigree: Experience in a Consulting firm, a Fast-growing startup, or a Founder’s Office is highly preferred.

• Proven Track Record: Demonstrable experience in designing and documenting complex business processes from scratch.

Core Competencies

• Analytical Thinking: Ability to deconstruct complex business problems into actionable workflows.

• Communication Mastery: Exceptional written and verbal skills; ability to communicate with C-level stakeholders and junior operators with equal clarity.

• Commercial Awareness: A strong grasp of business models, P&L drivers, and partnership dynamics.

• Hyper-Organization: Mastery of project management tools and a relentless focus on follow-up and execution.
