  • Ensure compliance with relevant labor laws (especially Nigerian labor law)

  • Shape our employer brand and internal culture.

  • Build and manage a structured, transparent, and scalable recruitment funnel

  • Maintain compliance with Nigerian labor laws and global HR best practices

  • Draft, update, and enforce HR policies, employment contracts, and company handbook

  • Advise leadership on workforce planning and talent development

  • Foster a high-performing, mission-driven company culture

  • Keep HR records, reports, and documentation accurate and confidential

  • Support performance management, training, and employee engagement initiatives.



Role Requirements




  • Bachelor’s Degree in Human Resource Management, Business Administration, Industrial Relations, or a related field

  • Minimum 4 - 5 years of HR experience, preferably in startups or high-growth environments

  • Professional certification such as CIPM (Nigeria), SHRM, or HRCI is required

  • Deep understanding of Nigerian labor law, HR compliance, and employee relations

  • Proven experience designing and managing recruitment pipelines

  • Familiarity with remote/hybrid work environments and international hiring is a plus

  • Tech-savvy and able to work with modern HR and ATS tools.



You Are:




  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and methodical in your work

  • A proactive problem-solver and strategic thinker

  • A confident communicator with strong interpersonal skills

  • Passionate about African development and the diaspora’s role in it

  • Excited to build systems, teams, and culture from the ground up.



You’ll Thrive Here If…




  • You enjoy autonomy and taking initiative in a fast-paced environment

  • You believe HR is both strategic and human-centered

  • You care deeply about impact, not just processes

  • You want to be part of a founding team shaping a mission-driven company from day one.
