About Village Enterprise

Village Enterprise works to end extreme poverty in rural Africa through entrepreneurship and innovation. Our US‑based staff are deeply integrated into a global team spanning Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and beyond. We believe strongly in cultivating a connected, high‑trust, mission‑centered culture—no matter where our teams sit.

About the Role

The People & Culture Partner is responsible for strengthening the employee experience for our US‑based remote team while serving as the primary liaison with Insperity, our Professional Employer Organization (PEO), and the global People & Culture (P&C) team. This role blends HR coordination, culture building, compliance support, onboarding excellence, and cross‑continental partnership.

This is a unique opportunity for an HR professional who loves people, believes deeply in mission‑driven work, and is passionate about creating an exceptional workplace for a small but mighty remote US team while staying in close alignment with our East Africa P&C leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary point of contact with Insperity for payroll, benefits, compliance, onboarding, and offboarding.
• Manage US hiring logistics: job postings, screening support, interview coordination, and support hiring managers.
• Maintain accurate HR files, compliance documentation, and benefits administration.
• Troubleshoot employee questions regarding benefits, leave, and policies.

People & Culture Partnership (Global)

• Collaborate with the VP of People & Culture (East Africa) to harmonize processes, values, and culture for the US team.
• Provide expertise and guidance on US market compensation, benefits, and leave practices.
• Align onboarding materials, performance processes, and training modules with global standards.
• Support culture initiatives that foster unity across US and East Africa teams.
• Participate in cross‑functional projects with the global P&C team.

Employee Experience & Culture Building

• Strengthen the culture of a primarily remote US team through intentional connection, celebration, communication, and engagement.
• Lead onboarding experiences that help new staff feel connected to the mission, global team, and values.
• Coordinate internal trainings, learning opportunities, and team‑building moments.
• Identify opportunities to improve remote work experience, belonging, and professional development.
• Manage and resolve US employee relations matters by offering timely guidance, facilitating conflict resolution, and ensuring adherence to organizational policies and employment laws.

HR Systems, Performance, & Policy Support

• Support performance review processes in coordination with global P&C and US managers.
• Maintain HRIS records and ensure data integrity.
• Help ensure policies reflect both US legal requirements and organizational values.
• Track US employee lifecycle events (promotions, role changes, milestones).
• Provide HR administrative support, including assisting staff with timesheet troubleshooting (Flair issues, project additions/removals), and sending timesheet and PTO request/approval reminders to relieve existing P&C workload.
• Support management of the U.S. People & Culture budget, including tracking expenses, maintaining updated records, and preparing basic budget reports as needed.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of HR experience, ideally within a nonprofit or global organization.
• Familiarity with PEO structures (Insperity experience a plus).
• Strong people instincts, communication skills, and relationship‑centered approach.
• Experience supporting remote teams and building connection across distance.
• Ability to partner cross‑culturally and navigate different organizational norms.
• Commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

What We Offer

• Part‑time, flexible (up to 32 hours/week).
• Highly mission‑driven environment with global exposure.
• Opportunity to shape the culture of a mission‑driven US remote team.
• Significant room for influence and growth as VE evolves.
