About Company:

Invent Alliance Limited is a company specialized on creation of multi sector and multi discipline business platform with specialist partnerships for value co-creation in each of the different business segments through modern co-petition business principles.

Job Description:

Invent Alliance Limited is seeking a results-oriented Business Development Officer to drive the growth of our premium bakery portfolio—including bread, pastries, and specialty items. This is a foundational commercial role that blends field-based customer acquisition with office-based account management.

In this position, you will be the primary link between our high-capacity bakery and the vibrant retail landscape of Ajah and Sangotedo. You will identify new resellers, supermarkets, and corporate buyers while ensuring our existing partners are consistently delighted. If you are an early-career professional looking for hands-on experience in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, this is your platform to build a career in commercial strategy.

Requirements:

1. Customer Acquisition & Market Scouting

• Retail & Reseller Scouting: Proactively identify and approach high-potential retail outlets, restaurants, and corporate clients within the bakery’s catchment area.

• Lead Conversion: Clearly communicate our product value, pricing tiers, and order processes to turn "prospects" into "consistent accounts."

• Market Intelligence: Conduct routine field visits to monitor competitor pricing and shelf presence, providing the data needed to keep our products competitive.

2. Relationship Management & Retention

• Account Stewardship: Build and maintain high-trust partnerships with existing resellers to ensure steady weekly demand and repeat business.

• Service Alignment: Collaborate with the production and customer service teams to ensure that our delivery schedules and product quality match our client commitments.

• Upselling & Expansion: Identify opportunities to introduce new specialty items or larger volume tiers to existing customers to maximize account value.

3. Operational Reporting & Control

• Data-Driven Feedback: Systematically collect customer feedback and market insights, translating field observations into simple, actionable reports for management.

• Target Achievement: Work toward structured sales goals through disciplined daily follow-ups and efficient order management.

• Inventory & Supply Sync: Ensure that field sales efforts are synchronized with the bakery's daily production capacity to avoid stock-outs or overproduction.

Qualifications and Skills:

Professional Profile

• Education: OND, HND, or B.Sc. in Business Administration, Marketing, or a related field.

• Experience: 6 months – 2 years in sales or customer service. FMCG or bakery industry experience is a major advantage.

• Location: Mandatory residency within Ajah, Sangotedo, or immediately surrounding areas.

Core Competencies

• Field Grit: High energy and confidence for face-to-face customer interaction and extensive field work.

• Communication: Ability to articulate product benefits and pricing clearly to diverse business owners.

• Analytical Basics: Ability to maintain accurate records and prepare simple, concise reports.

• Growth Mindset: A strong willingness to learn the intricacies of a structured, high-volume bakery operation.
