RenewHER is Nigeria’s first Presidential Women’s Health Transformation Initiative. It was formally launched at the State House Banquet Hall, Abuja, on 11 September 2025, under the authority of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

At its core, RenewHER is built on a simple but powerful conviction: women’s health is not a charity issue. It is an economic strategy. When women survive pregnancy, access skilled care, and grow up healthy and empowered, families are stronger, communities are more resilient, and Nigeria prospers.

Employment Type: Full-time (On-site)
Travel: Significant travel may be required
Start Date: Immediate

About the Job

• RenewHER is recruiting a Senior Executive Assistant to the National Coordinator. This is a high-trust, senior executive-support and communications appointment; not a junior diary-management role.
• The successful candidate will own the National Coordinator’s official calendar, workflow, briefs, correspondence, speeches, research, meeting preparation, opportunity pipeline and leadership follow-through.
• We seek a calm, discreet and technologically sophisticated professional with substantial experience supporting a senior government official, diplomat, CEO, public figure or global executive, exceptional writing and anticipation, and the ability to provide structured, respectful support in a fast-moving office.

Role Details

• This is a demanding role suited to someone who is comfortable working closely with senior leadership and understands that effective executive support requires preparation, discretion, judgement and exceptional follow-through.

Purpose

• To make the National Coordinator consistently prepared, focused, well-briefed and reliably followed through by owning her official executive workflow, calendar, briefing, communications production, opportunity intelligence and decision/action records, while maintaining exceptional discretion and clear separation from personal or family administration.

Core Responsibilities

• Control the National Coordinator’s operating calendar under agreed priority rules, preparation standards, buffers and overload-escalation protocol.
• Produce daily and weekly executive briefs covering decisions, deadlines, correspondence, meetings, commitments, risks and waiting-fors.
• Coordinate meeting preparation, agendas, research, papers, talking points, attendee intelligence, note-taking, decisions and follow-through.
• Draft and coordinate world-class speeches, remarks, correspondence, talking points and briefing notes in the National Coordinator’s voice; maintain fact-check, clearance and version discipline.
• Research official issues and synthesize credible evidence into concise, decision-useful material.
• Build a forward-looking official opportunities pipeline covering speaking, conferences, media, awards, fellowships, advisory networks and strategic convenings relevant to RenewHER and authorised public-service development.
• Assess opportunities for mandate fit, audience, political/reputational risk, time cost, preparation burden, strategic value and conflicts; recommend accept/decline/delegate/defer.
• Maintain trusted working relationships with key offices and stakeholders for scheduling, preparation and authorised follow-up.
• Use approved technology, AI and productivity systems securely; never place restricted information into unapproved tools.
• Provide ADHD-supportive structure through visible next actions, timely prompts, priority limits, advance preparation and non-judgemental recovery after disruption.
• Accompany the National Coordinator where required; support logistics and records without assuming representative authority.

Essential Candidate Criteria

• 8–15+ years of high-level executive support, principal office, diplomacy, communications, special-assistant or comparable experience; at least three years supporting a minister, senior government official, diplomat, CEO, public figure or global executive.
• Outstanding English writing and editing, including speeches, remarks, executive correspondence and one-page briefs.
• Exceptional calendar judgement, anticipation, research, stakeholder coordination, discretion and follow-through.
• Evidence of learning and reproducing a principal’s voice without impersonation or unauthorised commitment.
• Secure technology/AI fluency and mature support for an executive with ADHD.

Desirable:

• Nigeria Presidency/MDA, diplomatic, multilateral, global-health, foundation or high-profile CEO office experience.
• Speechwriting, journalism, policy research, strategic communications or protocol experience.
• Relevant bachelor’s degree; postgraduate or professional communications/project credentials are useful but not required.
