Founded in 2007 (originally as Beta Shipping), Tetra Maritime is a Nigerian ship owner and operator specializing in tailored marine logistics across the upstream, midstream, and downstream oil & gas supply chain.

With a fleet of Nigerian-flagged vessels operating across the African continent, and a strategic partnership with Union Maritime, a UK-based ship owner with global acclaim, we are committed to delivering end-to-end logistics solutions to our clients. 

The Head of HR, West Africa, will have substantive experience from working at an international organisation, and will be expected to deliver HR leadership and execution to an international standard, matching the pace, quality and governance typical of global multinationals. This role requires the capability and drive to operate at a world‑class level while grounding HR delivery in West Africa’s specific operational and talent realities 

The Head of WAF HR will be the primary driver of talent acquisition and HR delivery across West Africa, owning high‑volume hiring while ensuring alignment with local operational needs and global HR strategy.

• Substantive experience in HR leadership from a multinational or otherwise top‑tier Nigerian corporate, ideally in a high‑growth or asset‑heavy/operational environment.

• Proven track record leading high‑volume and specialist hiring in West Africa (especially Nigeria), with clear examples of ramp‑up and large team expansions. 
• Strong personal network of recruitment agencies, search firms and direct talent contacts in Nigeria and wider West Africa, with evidence of having "opened doors" and closed critical roles through these networks.
