HR Manager – End-to-End People Operations

About the role

We need someone to own the entire people function end‑to‑end. From the moment a seat is approved to the day someone leaves and we learn from it. If you like systems, evidence, and accountability, this is you.

Key responsibilities

• Recruitment – own hiring from seat approval to productivity, target time‑to‑fill ≤30 days and maintain a bench of at least two warm candidates per seat.
• Onboarding – ensure day‑one readiness with tools, access, agreements, printed materials and a buddy, so no new hire spends the first week chasing a chair.
• Probation & appraisal – schedule and run 12‑weekly reviews from day one and ensure timely evidence‑based appraisals.
• Culture vote – collate the Monday/Wednesday/Friday culture vote, witness it the same day and report honestly to the CEO.
• People record – maintain contracts, agreements, integrity logs, training records and examination results accurately, current and confidential.
• Retention – measure whether good people stay and treat every exit as a question about the organisation.

Required profile

• 4–7 years HR experience with at least 2 years direct recruitment ownership.
• Practical knowledge of Nigerian employment obligations (contracts, PAYE, pension, NSITF, ITF, group life).
• Experience hiring operational, professional and senior roles.
• Structured and data‑driven mindset, comfortable with documents, records and spreadsheets.
• Professional membership (CIPM or similar) is welcome but not required.
