Job came through the Future Pro youth setup in Nigeria before joining Norwegian Eliteserien side Sarpsborg 08 on loan in March 2024, with an option to buy. He initially featured for Sarpsborg 08 2 in the Norwegian Third Division, scoring eight goals in 13 appearances.

Sarpsborg exercised their option to sign him permanently in July 2024, handing him a contract until the end of 2028. He made his Eliteserien debut on 20 July 2024 and scored his first top-flight goal on his first start against Haugesund in August.

Seeking more regular first-team football, Job joined Egersund on loan for the first half of the 2025 season. He made 12 league appearances and scored three goals, while also contributing in cup competition.

In February 2026, he moved to Kongsvinger IL in a deal involving Sarpsborg. The forward has since established himself as a key player for Kongsvinger in the 2026 OBOS-ligaen campaign, producing a strong return of goals and assists while regularly featuring from the start.

His performances earned further recognition when he was voted Kongsvinger’s player of the month for June/July 2026 by supporters. He subsequently donated the prize money to a children’s cancer charity, only increasing his popularity.
