Our client is hiring a Part-Time Strategic HR Lead to support the next phase of growth of a scaling advisory business.

We are an energy and infrastructure advisory firm working with investors, developers, and corporates across the energy transition.

As we scale, we are building a lean, high-performance consulting organisation and need the right HR leadership to support it.

This is an on-site role in Rosebank, Johannesburg. 

The Role

This is a strategic, hands-on HR role, not an administrative one.

You will work closely with the CEO and leadership team to:

• Design and implement a high-performance culture

• Support team structure and organisational design

• Lead recruitment for key roles (advisory, commercial, operations)

• Implement performance management frameworks (KPIs, OKRs)

• Support compensation structures and incentives

• Build scalable people processes for a consulting business

What we’re looking for

This role is best suited to someone who has:

• Experience in professional services/consulting environments

• Built or supported growing teams (10–40 people)

• Strong understanding of performance-driven cultures

• Experience with senior hiring and leadership teams

• Ability to operate both strategically and hands-on

• Structure

• Part-time/flexible engagement

• Initially advisory and implementation-focused

• Opportunity to evolve into a broader role as the firm grows

Why is this role interesting

• Opportunity to shape the people strategy of a growing advisory firm

• Work directly with leadership on organisation design and hiring

• Build systems that enable scalable, high-performance delivery

• Flexible structure with real strategic impact

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building organisations, not just managing HR processes.
