One minute you're onboarding a new team member, the next you're solving a retail issue, checking in with store staff, running training sessions, helping operations stay on track and making sure the culture of the business stays strong while everyone else is running around trying to keep up.
This is not a corporate "hide behind policies and send emails all day" HR role. They need someone who loves people, thrives in fast paced environments and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves and get involved across stores, production and head office.
You'll oversee around 70 staff members across retail, production and HQ while helping drive culture, staff engagement, recruitment, training and day to day people operations.
What you'll be doing:
Visiting stores and building relationships with teams
Handling day to day people and operational challenges
Recruitment, onboarding and staff support
Managing training programmes and development
Keeping track of absenteeism, illnesses and staff wellbeing
Supporting retail and production teams on the ground
Ensuring labour law compliance and HR best practice
Being the go to person when literally anything happens
What they're looking for:
HR experience within FMCG, retail or production
Strong understanding of South African labour laws
Someone energetic, hands on and people focused
A relationship builder who can work with everyone from store staff to management
Organised, proactive and calm under pressure
Someone who can balance structure with personality
