    Head of Human Resources

    Job Description

    • We are looking for a Head of Human Resources to lead the strategic people agenda across a commercial organisation. This executive leadership position is critical for building long-term organisational capability through a performance-driven culture, effective talent acquisition, leadership and succession development, job grading, and modern HR technology enablement. Operating as the central architect of People & Culture systems rather than a day-to-day administrator, the successful candidate will focus on long-term strategic build while collaborating closely with the Administration & Compliance function to ensure data integrity and optimal system utilisation.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Performance & Capability Architecture: Design and embed a comprehensive performance management system that seamlessly links job descriptions, competency models, performance metrics, and development pathways. Lead job grading, structure mapping, and role clarity across the organisation while connecting performance outcomes directly to reward, recognition, and career advancement frameworks.
    • Talent Acquisition & Workforce Strategy: Formulate and implement a progressive recruitment strategy aligned to commercial scaling plans. Oversight includes designing modern employer-branding and candidate assessment practices, structured onboarding pathways, interview methodologies, and robust succession planning for high-potential future leaders.
    • Leadership & Culture Transformation: Embed core organisational values and behaviours into everyday practice and coach line managers to build high-performance teams. Spearhead targeted culture programmes, engagement initiatives, recognition metrics, employee wellbeing frameworks, and developmental tracks for top internal talent and future leaders.
    • HR Technology & Data Analytics: Champion the strategic utilisation of HR Simplified & GreatSoft platforms to improve visibility and decision-making. Partner with the operational compliance wing to ensure optimised adoption and process integration, and leverage advanced HR metrics and dashboards to influence executive leadership and business strategy decisions.
    • People Governance & Policy Frameworks: Develop and maintain policy frameworks aligned strictly to performance, competency standards, and compliance requirements. Foster consistent policy application by uplifting manager capability and establishing system-wide clarity.
    • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner strategically with the Administration & Compliance function—providing alignment and utilising their data inputs while they execute day-to-day operations such as payroll, employment contracts, training logistics, MIBCO compliance, and SHEQ.

    Requirements

    • Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Psychology, Organisational Development, or Business.
    • Minimum of 7 to 12+ years of progressive, professional human resources experience.
    • Deep experience in performance management frameworks (design and rollout), job grading, and competency modelling.
    • Demonstrated capability in developing talent acquisition strategies, employer branding, and workforce planning models.
    • Strong technical understanding of labour law, compliance norms, and industrial relations environments.
    • Hands-on experience implementing, optimising, and driving user adoption of HR technology platforms and KPI dashboards.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Postgraduate studies are preferred (such as an Honours degree, Master's in Organisational Development, or an MBA).
    • Prior human resources leadership experience operating within a growth-oriented, multi-site corporate business environment.
