Cape Town, South Africa Yoco Full time

**Who we are**:
Yoco was founded in 2015, and has since processed over R100 billion in digital payments for over 400,000 businesses in South Africa. We’re breaking down barriers and unlocking economic opportunities that enable people to thrive.

We have over ±350 team members across our key hubs in South Africa and the Netherlands, all with a bias for boldness, and a passion for simple, progressive solutions. We believe in uniting different people to solve hard problems together.

Our mission of making society more equal takes a variety of people, with different backgrounds and points of view, so we can keep building solutions that work for and include everyone.

Yoco is growing, and as we grow we have compelling challenges ahead of us.

Growing means we’re enabling more self-employed people and businesses to thrive every day. It also means that ambitious problem-solvers with big ideas are challenged, stimulated and will thrive at Yoco.

We don’t stop pushing, we break things to rebuild, we challenge ourselves and each other. We’re constantly evolving — and we’re doing it fast.

Grow With Us.

**The Opportunity**:
This is a unique opportunity to shape and accelerate the growth trajectory of one of our most dynamic business units, combining strategic People partnership with tangible commercial impact. You'll play a key role in organisational design, elevating leadership capability, and building high-performance sales and marketing teams during a period of significant expansion. Beyond traditional People business partnering, this role demands someone who can speak the language of sales and marketing, understands what drives these type of teams, and can translate this into compelling talent and development strategies. Your impact will be measured not just in people metrics, but in the commercial success of the teams you support and the leaders you develop.

- Drive people experience projects from design to execution.
- Provide change management support for all organisational changes.
- Design and implement Leadership development journeys.
- Drive robust Talent Management practises including Talent Mapping and Talent Planning
- Drive conversations and initiatives to shape and evolve our culture and ensure our values are lived consistently.
- Coordinate with specialists inside the People & Culture team to deliver HR programs to the business, including, Talent Acquisition, Career frameworks, Leadership Development Programs, L&D roadmaps, Compensation and Performance management cycles.
- Partner leaders to build highly effective teams who deliver excellence.

**About you**:

- You should be professionally qualified in HR Management with a completed, relevant degree or certificate.
- You should have at least 10 years of work experience post studies with 5+ years experience as a People Business Partner, partnering with senior leadership within a business function.
- Experience partnering a Sales and Marketing function is highly advantageous.
- Experience working in a Fintech, or a Tech company similar in size and customer orientation to Yoco is highly advantageous.
- You should have experience working effectively through 0-1, growth and expansion phases of a tech business.
- You should have a proven track record elevating hiring and onboarding programmes in tandem with a Talent Acquisition Specialist.
- You should have significant depth in organisational design, people manager development and coaching, facilitation, and employee relations.
- You should have a proven track record in building performance optimisation programmes that drive individual performance to reach performance targets.
- You should have effective and influential communication skills with the ability to tailor communication style as needed.
- You are an empathetic partner, who can coach employees and managers through complex situations and sensitive matters.
- You are a strong collaborator and an agent for change in a rapidly evolving business

**The People We’re Looking For**:
We’re looking for brave people who are relentless in their pursuit to deliver, no matter the obstacles, embodying a curious and resourceful spirit with a passion for delivering results designed around simplicity.
