HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGER

Tygervalley / Bellville, Cape Town | EE Position

R1,000,000 – R1,260,000 per annum (inclusive of benefits), negotiable based on experience, with cell allowance and lucrative performance-based bonus and incentives over and above.

This is a key Human Capital leadership role within a growing and well-established organisation, offering the opportunity to work closely with the CEO and Exco and make a meaningful impact across the people and business agenda.

Our client is looking for an experienced and hands-on Human Capital Manager to take ownership of the HC function and partner closely with the CEO, Exco and leadership team.

The ideal candidate will have gained their HR/HC experience in a similarly operational and people-intensive environment, such as wholesale, logistics, transport, fuel/energy, distribution, manufacturing, FMCG, retail, automotive, agri-processing or a related industry.

One would describe you as someone who is genuinely passionate about Human Capital and the difference it can make to a business. You are driven by the function rather than simply the role, a strong implementer who takes ownership, gets things done and can turn strategy into action.

You are a natural people developer who empowers and builds those around you, leads with respect and integrity and is comfortable working with a diverse workforce. You have a strong work ethic, maturity, resilience and sound judgement, with the confidence to engage, influence and constructively challenge at senior level.

If you are looking for an opportunity where you can genuinely make an impact, build people and shape the HC function, we would like to hear from you!
