Job Description:

We are seeking a high-caliber HR Business Partner to act as the strategic link between our people operations and our business objectives. This is not a back-office administrative role; it is a front-line leadership position requiring a "consultant mindset" to drive workforce performance across our head office and branch network.

As an HRBP, you will provide end-to-end support—from strategic manpower planning and performance architecture to navigating the complexities of Nigerian Labour Law and CBN/NDIC regulatory requirements. If you have 4–6 years of experience in the financial services sector and a proven track record of influencing senior stakeholders, we invite you to shape our organizational culture.

Requirements:

1. Strategic HR Partnership & Organizational Design

• Executive Advisory: Partner with Executive Management and Branch Managers to translate business goals into actionable people strategies (manpower planning, capability building).

• Change Management: Act as a change agent during restructuring, branch expansions, or process improvements, ensuring employee alignment and clear communication.

• Risk Management: Advise management on people-related risks and organizational design to ensure a lean, effective bank structure.

2. Talent & Performance Architecture

• Performance Excellence: Drive the full performance lifecycle, from goal setting and appraisals to implementing Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs).

• Capability Building: Collaborate with the L&D function to identify skill gaps and support succession planning for critical roles.

• Recruitment Strategy: Support manpower planning to ensure both the head office and branches are staffed with high-performing talent.

3. Employee Relations & Regulatory Compliance

• Labour Law Stewardship: Manage disciplinary processes, grievances, and conflict resolution in strict accordance with Bank policy and Nigerian Labour Law.

• Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all HR activities meet the standards of the CBN, NDIC, and internal audits.

• Culture Advocacy: Reinforce the Bank’s ethical standards and performance culture, promoting a positive and productive workplace across all branch locations.

Qualifications and Skills:

Professional Profile

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Law, or a related field.

• Experience: 4–6 years in HR, with at least 2 years in a dedicated HRBP or Senior HR Generalist role.

• Sector IQ: Prior experience in a Microfinance or Commercial Bank in Nigeria is highly preferred.

• Legal Knowledge: Strong working knowledge of Nigerian Labour Law and microfinance banking regulations.

• Certification: Professional HR certifications (CIPM, SHRM, or CIPD) are an added advantage.

Core Competencies

• Stakeholder Management: Ability to influence and advise senior executives and branch leaders.
