- Talent Acquisition - to help develop an approach to diversity recruitment that attracts a diverse candidate pool and promotes Mimecast as an employer of choice.

- HR Business Partners - to help launch initiatives that embed DEI deeper into the organisation

- Act as a central point of contact to our 5 Employee Resource Groups. Provide guidance to ERG leaders, particularly those in the early phases, ensuring alignment to our DEI Strategy and effective communication, executive sponsor engagement and quality execution of impactful programs.
- Provide administration and support for all aspects relating to the Mimecast bursary programmes in South Africa, from planning, implementing, and reporting on both internal and external bursary programmes.
- Collaborate closely with other Functions and HR colleagues including Learning & Organizational Development, Social Impact, and HR Operations to support other operational tasks and special projects as needed.

What You’ll Bring:

- Knowledge and understanding of the cultural landscape of South Africa, including B-BBEE legislation
- Strong attention to detail and administrative planning skills including end-to-end project management, event planning and execution. Able to produce high-quality, scalable deliverables
- Experience managing impactful Diversity Networks / Employee Resource Groups
- Good understanding of HR processes with demonstrable experience embedding DEI initiatives across the employee lifecycle
- A fast learner with the ability work independently, and as part of a team, build collaborative relationships and influence effectively across different levels of an organization.
- Ability to work well independently and as part of a wider team
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Power Point, and Outlook), HRIS systems (Workday experience a plus), among other applications.

What we bring
We are Mimecasters. And we are alive with purpose.
We do what we need to protect the world of business from getting important (and potentially compromising) data stolen. We never leave anyone behind. We deliver quickly – and outstandingly. We’re big on honesty because it makes us better. We’re empowered by our mission. And if cybercriminals have a good day, we work twice as hard to make the rest of their days a nightmare. That’s The Mimecast Way
DEI Statement
Cybersecurity is a community effort. That’s why we’re committed to building an inclusive, diverse community that celebrates and welcomes everyone – unless they’re a cybercriminal, of course.
We’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer, and we’d encourage you to join us whatever your background. We particularly welcome applicants from traditionally underrepresented groups.
We consider everyone equally: your race, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, marital status, nationality, or any other protected characteristic won’t affect your application.
Due to certain obligations to our customers, an offer of employment will be subject to your successful completion of applicable background checks, conducted in accordance with local law.
