About the role
LifeCare Connect Nigeria Limited is the commercial entity for the Ancestra Group, which operates five platforms including Ancestra Health and QualiSentinel. The company is establishing its founding operations base in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, with a launch targeted for January 2027.
As the Human Resources Manager, you will lead the build-out of the launch team. You will own recruitment across Nigeria and, as the Group expands, across other African markets. You will also take ownership of the full personnel-lifecycle system to transition the Group from a documented organization into a fully staffed, operating one.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end recruitment for the Uyo launch team and subsequent hiring across Nigeria and other African markets, from job design through offer and onboarding.
- Screen, interview, and progress candidates against approved job descriptions, building the interview and evaluation discipline required by the Group’s HR-SOP series.
- Execute the personnel-lifecycle SOP series, including competence and training records, probation management, performance appraisal, and statutory/regulatory compliance tracking.
- Approve personnel-records access tiers and manage the scheduling of the HR audit programme.
- Handle HR nonconformity and corrective actions, and provide HR input to the Group’s Company-Wide Management Review each cycle.
- Manage exit and offboarding documentation, coordinating system-access revocation with IT within the Group’s one-working-day standard.
- Design and maintain the Group’s job descriptions, org structure, and staffing plans with the Business Development Team.
- Build out HR policy, employee-handbook, and statutory-compliance documentation (pension, NHF, NSITF, PAYE) as offices come online.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field.
- CIPM membership, or actively pursuing certification.
- Minimum 5 years’ HR generalist or HR management experience, ideally including multi-country or Africa-wide recruitment.
- Demonstrated experience building HR systems and processes from the ground up.
- Strong working knowledge of Nigerian labor law and statutory compliance obligations.
- Experience within an ISO 9001 quality management system is an advantage.
- High discretion and integrity in handling confidential personnel information.
