• Few HR roles ask you to lead people strategy across a luxury hospitality operation, a functioning school, a clinic, staff accommodation, and one of the most extraordinary wilderness environments on the planet. This one does. The organisation behind this opportunity is a purpose-driven conservation entity responsible for South Africa's largest privately protected area, operating at the intersection of ecological restoration, luxury hospitality, and meaningful community development in the southern Kalahari.

• Develop and implement HR strategies aligned with the organisation's long-term vision for conservation, hospitality, and community impact.
