Job listings published on September 23 show several opportunities currently associated with the British Council in Nigeria. Candidates interested in applying should, however, confirm each position and submit their applications through the organisation's official careers platform.
IT Manager role offers ₦18.4 million annually
The British Council's official recruitment portal confirms that it is seeking an IT Manager to support its Nigerian operations, particularly its Lagos and Kano offices.

The position comes with a gross annual salary of ₦18,437,079 and an indefinite contract.
Applications for the IT Manager position are scheduled to close on October 4, 2026, at 22:59 UK time.
The role involves managing the organisation's IT function and ensuring that technology services meet operational requirements as well as global information systems and security standards.
Responsibilities include overseeing IT infrastructure, supporting technology projects, maintaining the security and integrity of systems and helping develop the organisation's annual IT budget.
The manager will also oversee relationships with the Global Service Desk and ensure that incidents and service requests are handled in line with established service-level agreements.

Requirements listed for the vacancy include English proficiency of at least B2 level across the four language skills and MCP Windows 2016 certification.
Applicants are also expected to have at least three years of experience working in an IT-related position.
The role includes management responsibilities, with the successful applicant expected to supervise IT support personnel, delegate tasks and contribute to staff development.
The manager will also be responsible for helping ensure compliance with British Council IT policies covering areas including information security, software licensing, antivirus protection and disposal of IT equipment.
Other British Council vacancies advertised
HotNigerianJobs reported that seven positions are included in the latest group of British Council opportunities being advertised to candidates in Nigeria.
Apart from IT Manager, the positions listed include Systems Lead (CRM), Channel Experience Lead, Delivery Network Coordinator for Exams, E&E FP&A CoE Insights Senior Analyst, E&E Finance Business Partner and FP&A CoE Staff Costs Manager.
The Systems Lead (CRM) and Channel Experience Lead roles are listed as hybrid positions in Nigeria, with applications scheduled to close on October 6.
The Systems Lead position focuses on the organisation's Customer Relationship Management platform.
According to recruitment information for the role, the successful candidate would be responsible for areas including CRM configuration, optimisation, system performance, troubleshooting, data integrity and the effective adoption of the platform across customer sales and service operations.
The position also involves helping the organisation make effective use of automation and AI-supported CRM capabilities.
Finance and examination opportunities
Other advertised positions target candidates with experience in finance, financial planning and analysis, and examination delivery.
The Delivery Network Coordinator position is associated with Abuja and focuses on the secure and effective delivery of examinations.
Responsibilities attached to such a role include coordinating venues and equipment, handling examination materials, supporting personnel and ensuring that examinations comply with required operational and security standards.
Finance-related opportunities advertised in the recruitment round include the E&E FP&A CoE Insights Senior Analyst, E&E Finance Business Partner and FP&A CoE Staff Costs Manager positions.
Some of the finance vacancies are listed for Abuja and Lagos with hybrid working arrangements.
The advertised roles demonstrate that the recruitment exercise is not limited to a single professional field, with opportunities covering technology, customer services, examinations and financial management.
Candidates should check different deadlines
Applicants should pay close attention to individual closing dates because the vacancies do not all share the same deadline.
The Delivery Network Coordinator vacancy is listed with a September 26 deadline, while the IT Manager application closes on October 4.
The Systems Lead (CRM) and Channel Experience Lead positions are listed with October 6 deadlines.
Other finance vacancies have separate closing dates, including positions advertised with deadlines extending into October.
Candidates should therefore check the official listing for their chosen position rather than assuming that one deadline applies to the entire recruitment exercise.
No visa or relocation support for IT Manager
The British Council has also included an important eligibility condition for candidates applying for the IT Manager vacancy.
Applicants must already have the legal right to work in Nigeria when submitting their applications.
The organisation states that mobility, relocation and visa sponsorship support will not be provided for the role.
Candidates should consider this requirement before beginning the application process.
Applicants advised to use official recruitment portal
While Nigerian employment platforms are publicising the available positions, candidates can verify vacancies and submit applications through the British Council's official careers website.
Using the official recruitment portal can help applicants confirm whether a vacancy remains open, check the latest eligibility requirements and avoid fraudulent recruitment pages.
The British Council describes itself as the United Kingdom's international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities. Its work spans education, English language, arts and culture and international engagement.
The organisation currently has employment opportunities advertised in several countries, including Nigeria.
Nigerian candidates interested in the latest recruitment exercise should review the requirements for individual positions carefully, prepare the necessary application documents and submit their applications before the applicable deadlines.
