Job Title: Technology Products & Platforms (Governance & Regulatory) Manager
Location: Lagos
Reports To: Director of Group Technology, Products & Platforms
Job Summary
The role leads the development and management of regulatory documentation, governance frameworks, and proof-of-concept (POC) programmes, ensuring technology initiatives progress from concept through regulatory and governance approvals.
Responsible for driving governance, regulatory compliance, and technical programme delivery across the Group Technology Products & Platforms (GTPP) portfolio.
The Technical Program Manager serves as the custodian of compliance documentation, programme governance, and regulatory engagement, enabling technology products to meet internal standards and external regulatory requirements while supporting timely delivery and informed executive decision-making.
The posture/outlook of the successful candidate:
Compliance as a feature, not a burden. Governance that earns trust and unlocks the deal.
The rigorous, unglamorous documentation work is the real work. Done precisely and on schedule, it is a competitive advantage, not overhead.
Measure what matters: submissions cleared, gates passed, and gaps closed, not the volume of documents produced.
Bias to clarity: every brief, register, and status leaves the reader able to make a decision.
Certainty must match the severity of the action. No POC clears a gate on optimism; the confidence behind a sign-off must be proportional to what is being approved.
Treat governance as a product. The output is trust and audit-readiness that let ventures move faster, not paperwork for its own sake.
Key Responsibilities
- Regulatory Documentation & Compliance:
- Ensure all regulatory documentation meets audit and regulatory standards with minimal rework.
- Prepare and coordinate regulatory submissions, licence applications, and responses to regulatory enquiries.

- Governance & Controls:
- Coordinate governance review processes and compliance monitoring activities.
- Develop and maintain governance frameworks, policies, decision-rights, and documentation supporting GTPP initiatives.
- Identify governance and compliance gaps, recommend remediation actions, and monitor implementation.
- Partner with Legal, Compliance, Risk, and Information Security teams to ensure adherence to regulatory and Group governance requirements.
- Technical Programme & Proof of Concept (POC) Management:
- Manage programme timelines, dependencies, risks, and stakeholder engagement across Product, Engineering, Legal, Compliance, and external partners.
- Produce executive-ready specifications, governance papers, programme updates, and decision-support documentation.
- Coordinate the delivery lifecycle of POCs from initiation through Go/No-Go decisions.
- Define Proof of Concept (POC) scope, business requirements, regulatory considerations, success criteria, and acceptance gates.
- Regulatory Reporting & Stakeholder Coordination:
- Coordinate engagements with regulators, external advisers, and internal stakeholders to support regulatory approvals and governance requirements.
- Serve as the central point of coordination for regulatory, governance, and POC reporting across the technology portfolio.
- Escalate critical issues with clear recommendations and implementation options.
- Prepare periodic reports highlighting programme status, compliance progress, risks, and key milestones.
