About the role

  • This is our first concierge ops hire and the most critical role after the founder.
  • Think of a senior domestic-agency desk: you own the pipeline and the phone until the staff member starts.
  • Managed Services takes over payroll and attendance after go-live — you hand off a clean placement.

Traditional responsibilities

The core of the job — how this role shows up in a staffing or household ops team, with or without software.

  • Qualify employer briefs (role, budget, area, live-in/out) and set clear timelines
  • Source and present candidate shortlists; schedule interviews and reference checks
  • Negotiate start dates, handovers, and contingency terms with employers and staff
  • Own complaint first response — calm the room, document facts, escalate when needed
  • Hold a weekly ops stand-up: open requests, stuck interviews, pending resumptions

In the Pukena console

You will also run these workflows in the admin console — tools that support the work above, not the whole job description.

  • Confirm processing fees and advance bookings through shortlist → accept → placement
  • Build shortlists from verified PukenaPro profiles in For bookings
  • Record resumptions in Placements and keep Lifecycle status current
  • Log complaints and resolution notes in Complaints

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years in operations, concierge, or agency placement (domestic staffing strongly preferred)
  • Excellent phone and WhatsApp communication with executives and staff
  • Comfortable living in a web admin console daily
  • Calm under pressure; can prioritize without dropping follow-ups
  • Based in Lagos or willing to relocate

Nice to have

  • Experience with Paystack or similar payment flows
  • Familiarity with driver/nanny/housekeeper recruitment
  • Prior use of CRM or ticketing tools

Benefits

  • Small team with real ownership — you run a function, not a ticket queue
  • Hybrid or on-site options (Lagos-first)
  • Training on Pukena SOPs and the admin console
  • Performance tied to clean placements, payroll accuracy, and client retention
