Omar Grant is an A&R executive at Roc Nation, he was the A&R on "Unapologetic" :

Artists and repertoire (A&R) is the division of a record label or music publishing company that is responsible for talent scouting and overseeing the artistic development of recording artists and/or songwriters. It also acts as a liaison between artists and the record label or publishing company; every activity involving artists to the point of album release is generally considered under the purview of, and responsibility of, A&R.

Basically when a songwriter/producer send a song to Roc Nation, Omar Grant (and Ty Ty, I think?) listen to the song(s), and when they feel like Rihanna could like it they play it to her.
And he was looking for songs for Rihanna 2 days ago :
