Job Title: Principal - People Transformation & Change

Location: Nigeria (Remote)

Job Purpose

• As the Principal of People Transformation & Change, you’re the architect of our People strategy execution.
• You won't just manage projects; you’ll integrate the entire employee lifecycle—Recruitment, Operations, Business Partnering, and Development—into one seamless flow.
• Your goal is to ensure our People Team scales as fast as our business, turning "scrappy" startup processes into a systematized global engine that supports our 3,000+ employees.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive the Roadmap: Take end-to-end ownership of the People Transformation Roadmap, ensuring we hit every milestone from Q1 to Q4 on time and with impact.
• Architect the Future: Facilitate workshops to map our current "As-Is" processes, identify bottlenecks, and design "To-Be" workflows that prioritize automation and data integrity.
• Unblock Dependencies: Lead weekly transformation meetings with Talent Acquisition, PBP, and Ops Leads to keep everyone aligned and moving forward.
• Champion Change: Create the communications, training, and "nudges" that help our managers and employees adopt new, smarter ways of working.
• Engineered Quality: Implement governance frameworks that stop data silos from re-emerging, ensuring our systems speak to each other effortlessly.
• Reporting & ROI: Define what success looks like through clear KPIs and provide regular progress updates to the CPO.

About You

• You’re a Silo-Cracker: You have a natural allergy to manual workarounds. You see where data gets stuck and have the grit to fix it.
• You Speak Human and Data: You can translate a complex technical API integration into a simple, value-driven story for the CPO.
• You’re a Change Catalyst: You know that 80% of transformation is psychological. You’re great at managing resistance and celebrating small wins to keep the team empowered.
• You Thrive in the Storm: Messy data and legacy processes don't intimidate you—they energize you. You’re motivated by bringing order to complexity.

What Success Looks Like

• Milestone Mastery: Completing the Q1-Q4 Roadmap with minimal variance and no operational downtime.
• High Adoption: Seeing a 90% adoption rate of new tools and processes within 60 days of launch.
• System Synergy: Achieving a state where data flows from Recruitment to Payroll without manual intervention.

Qualifications

• The Experience:
  • 5-7 years in Management Consulting, People Operations, or Business Transformation.
  • You’ve lived through the "chaos phase" of a high-growth fintech or global tech company.
• Transformation Track Record: You’ve successfully led large-scale HR transformations across multiple regions (ideally Nigeria and the UK).
• Process Mastery: You’re an expert in process redesign. If you have a Six Sigma or Lean certification, that’s a plus.
• Influencing Power: You can guide C-suite stakeholders and lead cross-functional teams with diplomacy and authority, even without direct reporting lines.
