Location: Sterling Towers, Lagos , Nigeria


Shell companies have been finding and producing oil and gas around the world for over a century. Today, we have interests in exploration and production ventures in more than 39 countries and employ approximately 19,000 staff (not including contractors).

This is a technically challenging work environment characterised by a continuing need for research, the pursuit of new technology, and the adoption of new ways of working. It demands people who will thrive in a culture that encourages and rewards innovation, collaboration and the ability to learn from success as well as failure.

We’re currently looking to recruit a Head of Investments to manage the Shell Nigeria Closed Pension Fund Administrator (SNCPFA) Investment Portfolio within acceptable risk parameters and in accordance with Shell Group, SNCPFA policies and relevant statutes. The successful candidate will optimise liability matching, maximise the return on investment and the value of funds under management.


Responsibilities:
In this role, you’ll be expected to:


* Develop and implement plans and strategies for the pension fund scheme and funds under management
* Assess, analyse and prepare investment and divestment proposals for approval by the investment committee
* Build and maintain expert knowledge of investment market developments that will affect local pension fund management
* Establish and maintain cordial and mutually beneficial business and professional relationships with financial intermediaries, stockbrokers, registrars, other stakeholders and regulatory bodies.



Requirements:
With a good university degree, and extensive experience as a qualified stock-broker, we’d also prefer you to be a chartered accountant. A Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) qualification would be an advantage, and you’ll have good knowledge of Nigerian money and capital markets.


You should have working experience in a financial institution with responsibility for capital markets, institutional banking, corporate finance, performance assessment or financial control activities, while good interpersonal, team working, networking and negotiation skills are essential.
