Where you will make an impact

This is not a traditional accounting role. You will work directly with the CEO to position Onyx for venture capital, strategic investment, grants, accelerators, development-finance opportunities, and other forms of growth capital while building credible relationships with investors in Ghana, across Africa, and internationally.

Core responsibilities

  • Build and manage Onyx's investor, funding, grant, accelerator, and strategic-capital pipeline.
  • Research and qualify venture capital firms, angel investors, family offices, development-finance programs, strategic investors, and relevant corporate partners.
  • Develop relationships with investors and ecosystem partners across Ghana, Africa, and international markets.
  • Support the CEO in preparing investor presentations, funding proposals, investment memoranda, and fundraising materials.
  • Coordinate investor meetings, introductions, follow-ups, and ongoing investor communication.
  • Build and maintain an investor CRM with clear stages, ownership, next actions, and relationship history.
  • Work with Finance on forecasts, funding requirements, runway analysis, use-of-funds models, and due-diligence preparation.
  • Maintain fundraising data-room readiness across financial, product, governance, traction, and corporate materials.
  • Research comparable companies, fundraising transactions, valuations, and investment activity relevant to Onyx and its technology businesses.
  • Evaluate capital and strategic partnership opportunities that can accelerate Onyx Insights and future Group technology products.

Role requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Business, Investment, or a related field. Advanced finance or investment qualifications are an advantage.
  • Practical knowledge of venture capital, startup fundraising, investment banking, private equity, corporate finance, investor relations, or a closely related field.
  • Strong financial analysis, research, presentation, and written communication skills.
  • Confidence communicating directly with founders, investors, executives, financial institutions, and professional advisers.
  • Understanding of technology, SaaS, cloud, fintech, AI, or the African startup ecosystem is strongly preferred.
  • Experience preparing financial models, investment decks, data rooms, fundraising pipelines, or investment materials is an advantage.

Outcomes that matter

  • A qualified pipeline of local and international investors is built and kept current.
  • Onyx has a clear fundraising strategy, target investor list, funding narrative, and use-of-funds model for each active raise.
  • Investor materials and the due-diligence data room remain ready for serious conversations.
  • Strategic introductions, investor meetings, grants, accelerators, and non-dilutive opportunities are pursued consistently and on time.

Clear standards. Real ownership.

Onyx Technologies Group is building from Ghana across technology, software, cloud, financial technology, and emerging businesses. You will work with teams that value practical execution, technical quality, customer outcomes, and the responsibility to build systems that can scale.
