Building Africa's Market for Product Talent

Through WorkNigeria, we connect skilled product professionals with the organizations that need them, helping talent find meaningful work and helping employers build the teams they need to grow.

Why it exists

Making A Market In Talent

Africa's youth population is growing rapidly and is expected to double to more than 830 million by 2050. The work we are doing to properly harness such growth in this working-age population would raise productivity and promote stronger, more inclusive economic growth on the continent.

We built WorkNigeria to strengthen the links between Africa’s growing talent base and the organisations, businesses, and industries that need that talent.

The Programme

A Sustainable Market For Talent

We bring the continent's builders and product community into one room, with sessions built around the real challenges product teams face in African markets.

  • Pipeline from across the foundation

    Talent developed through the Product Leadership Accelerator (PLA), our other programmes and the wider community, and prepared through career mentorship.

  • Proof of skill

    Product management assessments and CV reviews that help professionals validate and communicate their skills, so organisations can hire on ability rather than guesswork.

  • First-role pathways

    Placements and residencies that give early-career talent the experience every role seems to ask for.

  • Building demand

    Support for organisations, including those hiring for product for the first time, to define roles and build strong teams.

  • Market insight

    Data on skills, roles and pay that helps talent, employers and policymakers make better decisions.
