• Lead the yearly performance review cycle and help managers turn feedback into development plans.
• Keep policies, contracts and job descriptions up to date and in line with Mauritian labour law.
• Bring the culture to life through wellbeing initiatives, recognition, pulse surveys and the Welfare Committee.
• Give the Directors clear people data and practical advice on restructures, salary reviews and hiring needs.

Required profile

• Degree in Human Resource Management or Business.
• At least 5 years of HR generalist experience, including 2 years in a leading role.
• Experience handling employee relations and disciplinary matters with fairness and sound judgement.
• Excellent written and spoken English and French.
• A professional HR qualification (e.g. CIPD); experience across several entities or in financial services is an advantage.

Required skills

• Strong, practical knowledge of the Workers' Rights Act 2019 and the Equal Opportunities Act 2008 and related legislation.
• Payroll administration and employee relations.

What we offer

• A role with real influence, working closely with the Directors.
• A culture built on inclusivity, diversity and social responsibility.
• Medical insurance and a company pension plan offering more than the standard PRGF.
• An active Welfare Committee.
• Stable, regular hours in the Port Louis office.
