Job description
Bonolo Construction is hiring a Talent Partner to join the team in Francistown, Botswana. We're a growing organisation in our space and the next person in this seat will help us scale how we serve customers across the region.
You'll partner with leaders to hire, develop, and retain the people who make this business work. Expect a mix of strategic work — comp frameworks, performance, levelling — and hands-on partnering with managers day to day.
This role is a structured internship programme. You'll partner closely with department heads, finance, and external talent partners and report into the relevant team lead. We move fast, give people real ownership, and keep the bureaucracy low — if that sounds like the kind of environment you do your best work in, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll do
- Partner with hiring managers to run end-to-end search for senior and specialist roles.
- Coach managers on performance, feedback, and difficult conversations.
- Maintain and evolve our compensation framework, levelling, and progression criteria.
- Run the cadence around quarterly reviews and team engagement surveys.
- Own the new-hire experience so day-one feels welcoming and clear, not chaotic.
- Stay close to the local market on talent supply, comp, and what good looks like.
What you'll need
- 4+ years in a People/HR/Talent role at a fast-growing organisation.
- Hands-on experience running a hiring loop from sourcing through offer.
- Excellent judgement on difficult people situations; people trust you with their context.
- Comfortable working with sensitive information and holding confidence appropriately.
- Genuinely curious about how teams work and what makes them perform.
Perks & benefits
- Generous paid leave plus all public holidays observed in your country
- Competitive base salary benchmarked to local senior market rates
- Sponsored attendance at one major industry conference per year
- Pension or retirement contributions matched up to 7%
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision cover for you and your dependants
