About This Role
This is a high-level strategic coordination role based in Conakry, Guinea, responsible for synthesizing data and progress from multiple subsidiaries into a single, coherent Group-level roadmap. It suits an experienced professional in corporate planning, strategy, or business development who is comfortable operating at the executive interface and managing complex stakeholder relationships across borders. The role is less about day-to-day operations and more about building and maintaining the systems that allow leadership to see the big picture and make informed decisions.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The job is seeking a professional who can design and enforce a standardized planning and reporting framework across diverse business units. This implies deep expertise in strategic planning methodologies, KPI development, and data consolidation, rather than a purely financial or accounting background. The ideal candidate likely has experience in a group-level function, possibly in a multinational or holding company structure, and is comfortable translating raw operational data into actionable executive summaries.
How to Approach This Application
To succeed in this application, you must demonstrate your ability to manage complexity and influence without direct authority. Emphasize any experience you have in creating dashboards, reporting systems, or performance management frameworks for senior leadership. Highlight your familiarity with West African business contexts or cross-cultural coordination, as the role is based in Guinea but covers an entire group. Concrete examples of how you have improved visibility or decision-making for a CEO or board will be far more compelling than listing technical skills.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for a seasoned corporate strategist or planning manager who thrives on structure and data, and who is ready for a high-stakes, high-visibility position. Competition will be strong, as the role offers significant influence and a chance to shape a group’s strategic direction.

- Define strategic KPIs for each subsidiary and new entity; design and operate a consolidated Group KPI Dashboard for the Group DCEO.
- Lead the Group Performance Monitoring Cycle: collect quarterly performance data, validate quality, and produce consolidated progress reports highlighting deviations, risks, and corrective actions.
- Prepare Board-level Strategic Review Documents and Group DCEO briefing packs for quarterly and annual reviews.
- Coordinate planning inputs across all corporate departments — CFO, Legal, Audit, Engineering, Procurement — to ensure alignment and eliminate duplication.
- Maintain a Decision Log recording all major Group DCEO and Board decisions with implementation status and follow-up accountability.
- Support the Corporate CFO on investment planning, capital allocation cycles, and consolidated Group budgets.
