Job Title: Chief Operating Officer (COO)
Location: Remote

Job Summary
- Are you a current NYSC member or Just Finished NYSC looking to bypass the entry-level corporate grind and step straight into executive leadership?
- We are seeking an ambitious, high-energy Volunteer COO to partner directly with the founder and mastermind our launch operations.
- This is not a standard internship.
- This is a high-stakes, fast-paced executive role where you will design our delivery framework, manage dispatch logistics, and scale daily operations from zero to thousands of deliveries.
Key Responsibilities
- Operational Blueprinting: Design, optimize, and oversee day-to-day dispatch, route tracking, and final-mile fulfillment logistics.
- Network Coordination: Onboard, manage, and maintain relationships with dispatch riders, third-party logistics (3PL) partners, and corporate clients.
- Performance Metrics: Define, track, and report on key operational metrics such as Delivery Lead Time, Cost-per-Delivery, and Fulfillment Rates.
- Strategic Growth: Work hand-in-hand with the founder to execute aggressive operational growth strategies over the next few months.
- Risk & Crisis Management: Act as the primary escalation point for operational bottlenecks, delivery disputes, and system delays, implementing immediate fixes.
- Team Building: Recruit, train, and manage future operational volunteers and field agents as the platform scales.
Required Qualifications & Education
- NYSC Status: Must be a current serving corp member looking for a career-defining Primary Assignment (PPA) or side project.
- Academic Background: B.Sc. or HND in Economics, Business Administration, Logistics & Supply Chain Management, or a highly analytical equivalent.
Technical & Core Skills
- Logistics Acumen: Strong conceptual understanding of final-mile delivery networks, routing logistics, and the Nigerian transport landscape.
- Data & Analytics: Proficiency in Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel to model operational capacity, track performance, and analyze data.
- Tech-Savvy: Quick to learn and adopt new logistics software, dispatch dashboards, and digital communication tools.
- Project Management: Ability to handle multiple moving parts simultaneously without losing grip on delivery timelines.
Behavioral & Leadership Traits
- Hyper-Execution Mindset: You do not just plan; you execute quickly and iterate based on real-world results.
- Crisis Resilience: Calm under pressure; you view operational hiccups (e.g., rider delays, traffic bottlenecks) as puzzles to solve.
- High Ownership: A self-starter who treats the startup like their own business, requiring minimal supervision to achieve results.
- Communication: Exceptional verbal and written skills needed to command respect from dispatch riders and negotiate with corporate partners.
What is in it for You?
- Executive Title & Experience: Immediate leadership exposure that would normally take years to earn in a corporate firm.
- Career Launchpad: Establish yourself as an early pioneer of a fast-growing tech-logistics ecosystem.
- Future Equity: High performers who successfully drive the pre-launch/launch to scale will be positioned for permanent, paid executive roles and equity stakes.
