Job Title: Talent Acquisition Manager

Location: Lagos

Job Description

• We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager to lead hiring across our subsidiaries, from high-volume roles to executive searches, and build the talent engine that powers our next stage of growth.
• This isn’t a back-office recruiting role. You’ll be a strategic partner to business leaders, an architect of our employer brand, and the person candidates remember for making their hiring journey feel human, fast, and fair.

What You’ll Own

• Shape workforce planning and hiring strategy across our subsidiaries, ensuring talent decisions align with where the business is headed not just where it’s been.
• Lead end-to-end hiring across departments and entities, including senior and executive searches, with structured, competency-based interviews that surface the right talent, not just the loudest CV.
• Go beyond job boards: headhunting, social platforms, referrals, and partnerships to build a proactive bench of high-quality candidates before you need them.
• Tell VFD Group’s story through digital platforms, events, and university relationships, and make sure every candidate hired or not walks away with a great impression of us.
• Champion inclusive hiring practices that bring diverse perspectives into every talent pool and every shortlist.
• Run our ATS/HRIS like a pro, streamline workflows, and turn recruitment data into dashboards and insights that help leadership make smarter people decisions.
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with hiring managers to define roles, sharpen selection criteria, and coach teams on recruitment best practices.

Requirements

• A Bachelor’s Degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field (a master’s or certification like CIPM, SHRM, or HRCI is a strong plus)
• 6+ years in recruitment, including proven experience in executive hiring and multi-entity/group environments
• Real fluency with ATS/HRIS platforms;you don’t just use the tools, you optimize them
• Sharp stakeholder management and communication skills; you can speak the language of a hiring manager and a C-suite exec in the same day
• Energy for a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities shift and ownership matters
