Job description
Head of Operations
About Suupr Biogreen Limited
Suupr Biogreen is building infrastructure for Africa's skincare manufacturing ecosystem. We help beauty entrepreneurs formulate products and source sustainable ingredients through our platforms.
We're currently pilot-testing with formulator partners and establishing lab capabilities to produce proprietary ingredients. This role will transition to senior level and requires good leadership capabilities as much as science/technical capabilities.
Roles & Responsibilities
· Oversee product development roadmap; coordinate teams and technical consultants
· Ensure platform features align with user needs based on formulator feedback
· Set up and manage lab operations and product development
· Coordinate raw material sourcing from African biological sources
· Oversee formulation trials, quality control, and ingredient validation
· Manage relationships with cosmetic chemists, regulatory advisors, and lab technicians
· Onboard and support formulator partners
· Drive ingredient sales and track transaction metrics
· Gather user feedback and translate it into actionable product improvements
· Hire and manage contractors, freelancers, and early employees
· Build operational systems, workflows, and documentation
· Run weekly team standups and maintain cross-functional accountability
· Establish vendor relationships and negotiate contracts
· Support fundraising: prepare pitch decks, financial models, and investor materials
· Track and report KPIs (user growth, revenue, GMV, margins, retention)
· Tell the operational story in investor meetings alongside the founder
· Maintain financial records and ensure budget accountability
· Ensure lab operations meet safety and quality standards
· Coordinate with legal and regulatory consultants
What We're Looking For
- 3-5 years in operations, product management, or startup leadership, specifically around skincare, and cosmetics industry
- Background in chemistry, cosmetology or related fields
- Track record of executing complex projects with limited resources
- Comfortable managing contractors, vendors, and cross-functional teams
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
- Excited about biotech, beauty, or African innovation
Location & Work Arrangement
- Location: Ibadan, Nigeria
- Work Mode: On-site preferred (lab operations require physical presence); hybrid negotiable based on milestones
Why Join Suupr Biogreen
- Build a category-defining company: You'll be leading the infrastructure layer for Africa's beauty manufacturing sector
- Real impact: Every formulator you onboard creates jobs, displaces imports, and strengthens local value chains
- Equity upside: Based on performance, possible early leadership equity in a venture-backable, high-growth biotech company
- Developmental backing: Credibility and support from one of the world's leading development organizations
- Path to Leadership: Clear trajectory from Head of Operations to senior leadership role based on performance
- Solve hard problems: This isn't a copycat startup; you'll be building something genuinely new in African biotech
