As the HR Business Partner at Tritel Technologies, you will collaborate with every department to build and deploy a high-performance people agenda. Come work at a growing Kenyan ICT company that offers real ownership, with opportunities to move forward and learn alongside accomplished leaders. We're seeking an experienced and outstanding HR professional to lead our people strategy from the front.
This position is both strategic and hands-on by nature — you need to think outside the box. We expect the candidate to be proactive and bring a "get it done" spirit. To be successful, you will have strong problem-solving skills, sound business judgment, and the confidence to partner with leadership at every level.
Responsibilities
- Partner with leadership on strategy
- Drive recruitment and performance
- Develop leaders and grow capability
- Champion culture and engagement
- Run HR operations and analytics
Must Have
- Bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management, Business Administration, Organizational Psychology, or a related discipline
- 4–6 years of progressive HR experience, including at least 2 years partnering directly with business leaders
- Demonstrated experience leading recruitment and organizational development initiatives, and implementing performance management systems.
- Strong business acumen, strategic thinking, and influencing skills, with proven coaching, change management, and analytical abilities.
- A consistent record of professionalism and confidentiality in handling sensitive people matters.
Nice to have
- Experience in an ICT, engineering, consulting, or professional services environment, and familiarity with HRIS platforms (Odoo HR is an advantage).
- Higher Diploma in Human Resource Management and registered membership with the Institute of Human Resource Management (IHRM); CHRP certification is an added advantage.
- Experience facilitating leadership workshops and running structured leadership development or succession programmes.
- Comfort building HR dashboards and using workforce data to produce board- and executive-level reporting.
What's great in the job?
- Shape the people agenda from the top: You'll report directly to the Managing Director and own the full HR function — a rare chance to set people strategy rather than inherit it.
- Build, don't just maintain: Within your first year you'll create the company's performance management framework, competency model, workforce plan, and leadership development programme — leaving a lasting mark on how Tritel grows.
- A true strategic seat: This is a genuine business-partnering role where your work connects directly to commercial outcomes, not a back-office administrative function.
- High-growth, high-tech environment: You'll work at a leading Kenyan ICT solutions provider spanning Digital Power, Connectivity, Cyber Security, and Productivity — an energising, fast-moving space with real scale ahead.
- Visible impact and influence: From board-level HR reporting to coaching senior managers, your contribution will be seen and felt across the organization every quarter.
- Room to grow the function: As Tritel scales, you'll have the opportunity to shape and eventually build out the HR structure around you — growing your own remit alongside the business.
- Modern tools and practices: You'll work with contemporary HR systems (including Odoo HR) and introduce competency-based, data-driven HR practices from the outset.
