About this role
HEAD OF TRADE FINANCE & ACCOUNTING Executive Leadership Opportunity | 6-Month Performance-Based Engagement | Path to Executive Appointment
Africa has never lacked resources—it has lacked the institutions, capital, and financial systems to unlock their full value.
Africa Metals & Minerals Company (AMMC) is building the commercial infrastructure that connects African supply to African industries and international markets through technology, logistics, trusted networks, and integrated resource solutions.
We're looking for an exceptional Head of Trade Finance & Accounting to build and lead the financial backbone of our Company.
This is not a traditional accounting role. It is a strategic executive position for a commercially minded finance leader who understands how capital, banking, trade finance, governance, and commercial strategy come together to build enduring businesses.
We are seeking someone with the credibility to represent AMMC before banks, investors, governments, regulators, multinational corporations, and strategic partners across Africa and internationally.
The role begins with a 6-month commission-based performance engagement, after which exceptional performance will lead to a full-time executive appointment.

You will be responsible for:
-
Building and leading AMMC's Finance & Accounting function.

Designing financial controls, governance frameworks, and reporting systems.

Leading budgeting, treasury, financial planning, forecasting, taxation, and statutory compliance.

Developing financial models for investments, acquisitions, partnerships, and major commercial opportunities.

Building a high-performing finance team capable of supporting AMMC's long-term expansion.
Performance-Based Engagement

During this period, you will earn commissions on:
-
Commercial transactions successfully structured or supported through your financial expertise.
-
Banking, investment, financing, or institutional partnerships you originate.
-
Capital introductions, financing solutions, and strategic relationships that generate measurable value for AMMC.
-
High-value commercial opportunities resulting from your professional network and leadership.
There is no earning cap.
This opportunity is designed for professionals who believe their network, experience, and execution are worth more than a fixed monthly salary.
Transition to Executive Leadership
Upon successful completion of the engagement, candidates who demonstrate exceptional commercial leadership and strategic impact will be offered a permanent executive appointment with:
-
Competitive executive compensation
-
Performance bonuses
-
Comprehensive corporate benefits
-
