Strategic Executive Support

About Us:

IPF (Intellectual Property Factory), a subsidiary of Enzo Krypton & Company, is a high-performance consulting and talent management firm that thrives at the intersection of people development and client success. We are a strategic partner to organizations across Africa, delivering exceptional outcomes by combining exceptional talent with clear strategic execution.



At IPF, we are deeply committed to the people who drive the work. We place a premium on developing our people — not just their skills, but their ability to solve complex problems, think critically, and deliver results. Every project is seen as an opportunity to grow, challenge, and elevate our team members.



If you want to get anything done, start with IPF. We’re not just about solving client problems — we’re about empowering people who solve those problems, while ensuring every deliverable is executed with precision and excellence.

Some roles are built around tasks. Others are built around trust. This is the second kind.



We’re looking for someone thoughtful and capable to work closely with a visionary executive, helping bring structure and momentum to the ideas, partnerships, and priorities that matter most. It’s a role that will stretch your thinking, deepen your operational skill, and sharpen your ability to manage complexity with clarity and calm.



It’s not executive assistance in the traditional sense. There are meetings to prep and calendars to align, yes. But more importantly, there are frameworks to build, information to distill, and moving parts that need to be made coherent. You will help bring order to ambition ensuring that the right projects move forward with the right level of clarity and care.



You’ve probably heard of Richard Branson — the entrepreneur behind hundreds of companies and ventures. But what’s often missed is the kind of person who helps make that scale possible. People like Helen Clark, who quietly build the structures, manage the moving parts, and make sure vision has something solid to stand on. This role is a first step in that direction. You’ll learn what it means to support a leader at close range — thinking ahead, shaping systems, creating clarity — and over time, become the kind of person trusted to hold things steady while big things are being built.

You might be a recent graduate. You might be in NYSC. Or maybe you’ve worked a year or two but haven’t quite found the place where your instincts fit. What matters is how you think, how you work, and what you’re drawn to. You’ll thrive in this role if you:

● Take ownership and follow through reliably

● Communicate clearly — in writing, speech, and silence

● Build high-quality documents, plans, and presentations

● Bring structure to ambiguity

● Welcome feedback and grow from it

● Act proactively and notice what’s missing

● Handle sensitive information with discretion

● Ask thoughtful questions and engage with nuance

● Are ambitious about purpose, not titles

● Find satisfaction in supporting meaningful work If you don’t tick all boxes but this sounds like the kind of person you’re becoming, we’d love to hear from you.

What the Role Looks Like



You will work across projects, proposals, partnerships, and priorities coordinating with internal leads, external partners, and the executive’s office. You’ll need to:

● Help clarify strategic thinking into structured outputs — decks, briefs, plans

● Support the Chief of Staff in follow-through on cross-functional tasks and decisions

● Prepare memos, talking points, or background briefs for meetings and working sessions

● Coordinate timelines and help keep projects and people on track

● Organize thinking when things feel messy — documents, frameworks, ideas

● Assist with discreet research or pre-meeting prep on people, projects, or partners

● Handle communications and documentation with clarity and discretion
