The posting

About Tetra Foundation

Tetra Foundation is a UK-based charity with a mission to transform Nigeria through maritime training. We provide scholarships that equip Nigerian youth with world-class vocational skills, enabling them to build international careers in the maritime industry. This initiative aims to transform not only individual lives but also the prospects of communities and the nation as a whole.

The Foundation was established by Union Maritime, one of the UK’s largest shipowners. Since its inception in 2006, Union Maritime has grown into a leading global operator with significant operations in Nigeria. It also manages Goodwork Crewing—the largest private Nigerian crewing agent—employing over 1,000 Nigerian seafarers. This experience gives us unique insight into both the challenges and opportunities facing Nigeria’s youth, forming the foundation for our transformational mission.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field.
  • Part-qualified or qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA, CIMA, or equivalent) preferred.
  • 3+ years of experience in finance, accounting, FP&A, or charity finance.
  • Strong experience in budgeting, forecasting, cashflow management, and financial reporting.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
