Could you imagine building and overseeing a quality framework that guarantees thousands of girls and young women receive safe, high-standard, and dignified health services across a network of clinics, pharmacies, and independent providers?
About TIko
Tiko is an African nonprofit committed to strengthening the potential and resilience of adolescent girls across Africa. We address the “Triple Threat” of unintended pregnancy, HIV infection, and sexual and gender-based violence by building local health ecosystems that provide stigma-free, no-cost, quality-assured services.
Our model brings together key local actors: community-based organizations (CBO) with peer mobilisers who act as health companions to girls; public and private health clinics that deliver care; and retail partners that redeem Tiko Miles -our behaviour-change incentive programme that rewards service uptake and feedback.
We invest in partners by strengthening CBO capacity, training frontline workers and providers, supporting clinic quality improvement, and compensating partners based on performance. Our technology platform connects all actors by enabling referrals, verifying service delivery, facilitating payments, and generating real-time data.
Tiko operates in six countries: Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Burkina Faso, South Africa, and Nigeria, with additional offices in Portugal, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. For a clear overview of our work, we recommend watching this short video.
Globally, our team consists of +250 enthusiastic, international colleagues. Whether you are working from our biggest office in Nairobi, the fast-growing office in South Africa, or from home, our people are young, and our culture is global and dynamic. Our work environment is fast-paced, informal, and friendly.
For this role, we are seeking applicants based in Abuja, Nigeria.
At Tiko, we do not compromise on the safety, dignity, or quality of care provided to our users. We build fast-moving, technology-driven ecosystems that empower young people to access vital sexual and reproductive health services across Sub-Saharan Africa. As our Service Quality Specialist based in Abuja, Nigeria, you will be the chief custodian of provider standards on our platform. Your core mission is to ensure that every provider—from large clinical franchisors to independent pharmacies—delivers uncompromised care to our end users.
This is a dynamic, high-accountability role. You will bridge the gap between regulatory frameworks, local market realities, and real-time user feedback. From setting up independent auditor pools to enforcing strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and translating rating data into continuous quality improvements, you will drive accountability across our entire provider network.

- Data-Driven Accountability: Leverage user rating data, audit reports, and performance trends to provide strategic recommendations and hold providers accountable to the highest standards of care.
- Documentation & Reporting: Maintain meticulous quality reports, compliance records, and risk logs to inform leadership and drive organizational learning.
