Head of Human Capital Management (EE) at The Talent Expert

Are you more of an architect than a maintainer?

Is this you?

• You thrive on being that strategic HR partner to the business and you are looking for an opportunity to make a real, lasting impact. You love nothing more than building an engaged and talented workforce underpinned by strong HR practices. You have the strategic ability and drive to look at existing HR systems and processes and see where these need to be changed to build a world-class HR team/division. You also have a strong voice and know how to communicate the value that an effect and efficient HR team can bring to an organisation.  

What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)

• This is one of those rare opportunity where you get to structure a team and a division around you. There is a solid HR foundation in place but through exceptional growth of the company there are definitely some areas that are in need of work. This family run business knows that it needs to focus on their Human Capital to stay on top of their game and this is where you will come in - you will take full responsibility for the HR team (currently the team is broken down into a recruiter and two HR administrators and an HR generalist) and the HR function in the business.

Where you’ll be doing it

• Our client is one of the leading advertising & communications agencies focusing on the FMCG space with clients even your mom would have heard of and campaigns you will recognise immediately. They have a funky head office in the heart of Cape Town and a second office in Johannesburg. Their team is around 350 strong made up mainly of young and dynamic creatives. This is a family run business that is looking to take that next step

What you’ll need

• You will need a relevant Bachelors degree ideally coupled with some further studies in business management and a min of 10 years’ experience in HR with a min of 5 of these at strategic, senior HR level. Strong preference will be given to candidates from a related creative industry. This is an Employment Equity position

What you’ll get       

• A market related salary with the chance to really make your mark and earn a seat at the table (Exco calling). This is a real opportunity for you to shape the way that HR is seen within the organisation and to bring them to the level of best-in-class HR processes and procedures
