If you're looking for a role where excellence is expected and achievement is celebrated — this could be your next great opportunity.

Raizcorp, Africa’s only unfunded business incubator and one of the continent’s most exciting entrepreneurial ecosystems, is seeking a driven and resilient HR Business Partner to join our People Practices team.

About The Role

As the HR Business Partner, you’ll play a critical role in keeping our HR engine running smoothly across Raizcorp and our partner sites. You’ll be the go-to person for HR operations — ensuring everything from employee onboarding, payroll administration, and industrial relations to policy and process improvement is handled with precision, pace, and professionalism. Working closely with our People Practices Manager, COO and CEO, you’ll help us meet ambitious targets while ensuring operational and compliance excellence.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute daily HR operations across multiple systems (PaySpace, SharePoint, Simplify.hr, etc.)
• Serve as a visible and accessible HR presence across Raizcorp and partner sites
• Oversee onboarding/offboarding logistics and ensure accurate reporting and documentation
• Drive and support IR matters – from case bundle prep to representing Raizcorp at hearings and CCMA
• Handle compliance, equity, and statutory reporting with accuracy and timeliness
• Assist with HR ExCo reporting pack preparation, and represent HR in key internal forums
• Coordinate our internal employee engagement programme across teams and sites

Who We’re Looking For

• Minimum 6 years' generalist HR experience, including strong IR exposure
• Tertiary qualification in Human Resources or Industrial Psychology (minimum diploma or equivalent)
• Strong working knowledge of labour law, IR processes, and HR admin systems
• Proficiency in MS Office (particularly Excel – including pivot tables)
• Experience with systems like PaySpace, SharePoint, and Simplify.hr is a bonus
• Valid driver’s licence and own reliable transport (essential)
• Experience working in high-performance, high-accountability environments is a must

The environment you’ll step into

This is not a role for the faint-hearted. We operate at pace and hold ourselves to high standards of performance, accountability, and delivery. The right person will have a proven track record of thriving in target-driven, high-performance cultures where agility, accuracy, and ownership are non-negotiable. If you’re looking for structure, energy, and the opportunity to get things done — this is your moment.
