5. Mentor and Develop Finance and Operations Teams - The CFO will cultivate a high-performance culture by designing tailored training programs in pharmaceutical-specific financial practices, GMP-aligned internal controls, and cross-functional collaboration. This includes implementing mentorship frameworks to upskill teams on cost optimization, regulatory compliance (FDA/WHO-GMP), and ERP-driven decision-making, while fostering accountability through transparent performance metrics. By integrating continuous improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma) into financial workflows and promoting knowledge-sharing between finance, production, and quality assurance teams, the role will build adaptive talent pipelines capable of supporting Africa’s pharmaceutical industrialization goals.

6. Lead Capital & Investment Relations - The CFO will spearhead investor relations and capital strategy by structuring funding solutions that align with pharmaceutical industry growth trajectories and Africa’s healthcare priorities. This includes developing investor-ready financial models for API production, vaccine manufacturing, and market expansion, while managing relationships with private equity firms, development banks, and multilateral institutions. The role will oversee due diligence processes, negotiate term sheets for equity/ debt financing, and articulate value propositions for stakeholders seeking both financial returns and social impact in African healthcare.
