Job description
This position offers a great opportunity for career growth.
Summary
Iyewo is a mission-driven health venture building accessible, affordable pathways to care for under-served communities in Nigeria. From market pop-ups to home visits, we’re pioneering flexible healthcare delivery that meets people where they are — literally. As we move from pilot to scale, we’re looking for an entrepreneurial operator who wants to build systems that transform how care is delivered.
We’re seeking a hands-on, strategic Operations Lead who will serve as the Founder’s right hand — managing day-to-day delivery while helping shape our growth trajectory. You’ll move between high-level strategic planning and roll-up-your-sleeves execution. This is not a desk job; it\\\'s a role for a doer, builder, and systems thinker who thrives in ambiguity and is passionate about health equity.
Iyewo is at a critical inflection point. Our founder has built strong early traction. Now we need someone to help translate vision into reliable, repeatable operations — someone who sees themselves as a partner, not just a manager. If you want to help shape what accessible healthcare could look like across Nigeria — this is your moment.
