Hire SDRs in Lagos

Lagos concentrates more than half of Nigeria's tech employment - fintech, e-commerce, telco, and the bulk of VC-backed startups. Talent depth is the highest in the country, but so is competition; expect to compete with companies like Flutterwave, Paystack, Moniepoint, and a long tail of growth-stage startups for the strongest candidates. Salaries skew highest here, particularly on Victoria Island and Lekki where most international companies cluster. Remote-first companies hiring nationally treat Lagos rates as the floor, not the median.

SDR roles in Nigeria are most common at startups selling to international customers - the cost arbitrage of a strong English-speaking SDR in Lagos vs the US is hard to beat. Local-market SDRs are rarer; Nigerian SMB sales tends to run on warm intros, not cold outbound. For roles targeting US/UK accounts, the interview signal is a tight email + phone roleplay with a real ICP. For Nigerian-market SDRs, signal is network depth in the relevant industry (banking, retail, healthcare).
