Commercial Validation And Engagement Coordinator

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 — Part-Time Consultancy

Location: Abuja, Nigeria

Engagement: Three-month consultancy, beginning with a one-month trial period

Working arrangement: Part-time, combining remote research with in-person field engagement

Company Description

Stratum Core Systems develops operational diagnostic systems that help management teams understand what is changing within their businesses, investigate the underlying causes and identify the issues that require attention. Our systems convert existing operational data into structured, interpretable signals without replacing management judgement or taking operational decisions.

Our current work is focused on healthcare, including health insurers and multi-branch pharmacy businesses. For pharmacy operators, we are investigating where management visibility is limited across branches, inventory, purchasing, sales and other operational areas, and how better diagnostic signals could support earlier and more informed management attention.

Stratum Core Systems, Inc operates through Stratum Core Systems Africa Limited, its Nigerian subsidiary. Our Nigerian operations are based in Abuja.

Role Description

Stratum Core Systems is seeking a capable, field-oriented Commercial Validation and Engagement Coordinator to support the structured testing of a potential operational diagnostic offering for multi-branch pharmacies.

The consultancy will help Stratum determine how pharmacy chains currently operate, which systems they use, where management visibility breaks down, what operational problems recur across branches and whether those problems are sufficiently important for pharmacy owners and executives to pay to address.

This is not a desk-research-only role and it is not primarily a sales position. The consultant will combine targeted research, in-person pharmacy visits, structured interviews, stakeholder engagement and concise analysis. The resulting evidence will be used to prepare the Founder for senior-level discussions and to inform product and commercial decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Research selected pharmacy chains, their branch networks, operating models, management structures and relevant decision-makers.

• Investigate the systems and processes currently used for inventory, purchasing, sales, branch reporting and other relevant operational activities.

• Visit pharmacy locations in Abuja to gather structured insights from frontline and branch-level personnel.

• Conduct professional, evidence-led conversations without misrepresenting Stratum’s product readiness or making unsupported commercial commitments.

• Identify recurring operational pain points, their practical consequences, existing workarounds and the limits of current management visibility.

• Assess which problems appear commercially significant and explore how pharmacy decision-makers think about value and willingness to pay.

• Develop evidence-based briefs on approximately eight pharmacy businesses per month, including findings from research and field visits.

• Identify appropriate routes to pharmacy owners, managing directors and other senior decision-makers.

• Prepare concise briefing materials for the Founder before senior-level engagements.

• Maintain accurate records of research, visits, contacts, evidence, uncertainties, follow-up actions and engagement status.

• Participate in regular review sessions and provide clear weekly progress updates.

• Support the refinement of interview guides, research templates and commercial-validation materials as evidence develops.

Expected Outputs

The consultant will be expected to produce:

• Structured pharmacy research and engagement briefs

• Field-visit and interview records

• Current-system and operational-pain-point findings

• Decision-maker and stakeholder maps

• Evidence on problem severity, existing workarounds and willingness to pay

• Founder briefing notes for priority pharmacy engagements

• Weekly activity, findings and follow-up reports

• Properly maintained research and engagement records

Qualifications and Experience

The ideal candidate will have:

• Strong research, interviewing and analytical skills.

• Experience in field research, stakeholder engagement, market research, consulting, business development or a comparable role.

• The confidence and judgement to engage professionally with frontline personnel, branch managers and senior executives.

• The ability to distinguish verified findings from assumptions, interpretations and unresolved questions.

• Excellent written communication, structured note-taking and concise reporting skills.

• Strong organisational ability and the discipline to maintain accurate engagement records.

• High reliability, discretion, professional maturity and attention to evidence.

• Residence in Abuja and the ability to travel independently to pharmacy locations across the city.

• An interest in healthcare, pharmacy operations, enterprise technology or operational improvement.

Prior pharmacy-sector experience is helpful but not essential. Intellectual curiosity, sound judgement and the ability to convert field observations into useful commercial intelligence are more important.

Engagement Terms

This is a three-month, part-time consultancy beginning with a one-month trial period. Continuation beyond the trial period will depend on the quality, reliability and usefulness of the consultant’s work.

The role requires sufficient availability to complete agreed research, pharmacy visits, briefs and weekly reporting. Field visits will form a material part of the assignment.

The consultant will be required to comply with Stratum’s confidentiality, research-integrity, information-handling and conflict-of-interest requirements.
