The Operations Associate will own execution across communications, relationship management, calendar coordination, and business follow-ups. This is a real role with a real founder — not an assistant job. Every message, booking, follow-up, and relationship lands on one person who ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

• Job Location: Lagos (Physical, Full-time)
• Employment Type: Full-Time
• Salary: Not stated

Cogent Properties is a real estate and business development firm running multiple businesses. The company is led by a founder who builds real projects, closes deals worth hundreds of millions, and is launching new companies. Cogent Properties values execution, ownership, and outcomes over tasks.

Outcome 01 – No high-value inquiry goes unanswered

• Manage WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, and email independently. Respond promptly and escalate when needed.

Outcome 02 – Key relationships stay warm

• Maintain 30–50 important contacts with real messages and genuine interest — not generic check-ins.

Outcome 03 – Calendar & travel run on their own

• Ensure the founder walks into every meeting fully prepared.

Outcome 04 – Things get better over time

• Submit a monthly "What I Noticed" report, combining execution with strategic thinking.

• 1–3 years of real work experience.
• Studied something rigorous (any discipline).
• Writes clearly with no filler.
• Has opinions and expresses them respectfully.
• Own life is organised (phone isn't drowning).
• Sees this role as a launchpad, not a destination.
• Not for you if: "I just do what I'm told" describes your work style; you've never independently noticed and fixed a problem at work; you can't handle confidential information with absolute discretion; you need someone checking on you daily; you want a predictable 9-to-5 with no variability.

What Makes This Role Different:

• Direct access to a founder who builds real projects and closes high-value deals.
• The right person leaves in 2–3 years with more practical business knowledge than most people get in a decade.
• Access to a founder's world is the education no MBA gives.

How to Apply:
Send your CV (max 2 pages) to cogentcareers2025@gmail.com with the subject line: "OA Application — [Your Full Name]".

You must answer both questions in your application email (applications without both answers will not be reviewed):

Q1 (200 words):
Your boss is about to walk into a meeting with a potential N50M partner. You have 10 minutes and no brief. What do you prepare and why?

Q2 (150 words):
You notice that 70% of customer inquiries about a product ask the same question. Nobody asked you to do anything about it. What do you do?

Why this job might be a good fit:
This role is suitable for a sharp, organised, and proactive professional with 1–3 years of experience who wants to work directly with a founder, own outcomes rather than tasks, and gain decade-level business knowledge in 2–3 years — without daily supervision or a predictable 9-to-5.
