We are seeking a highly capable and strategic HR & Facility Manager to lead our people function and facility operations. This is a senior leadership role reporting directly to the Managing Director. The successful candidate will own the full employee lifecycle — from talent acquisition and onboarding through performance management, training, and employee relations — while also overseeing facility management, regulatory permit compliance, government liaison, IT support coordination, and office administration. If you are a people-first leader who combines strategic thinking with operational discipline and a deep knowledge of Ethiopian labour law, we want to hear from you.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead all HR functions: talent acquisition (including headhunting for senior roles), onboarding, probation management, performance management, and employee relations

• Own the quarterly KPI and bonus process across all departments — collecting scores, verifying data, and submitting recommendations to the Managing Director

• Implement and enforce the 4-stage underperformance protocol — identify issues early, provide structured support, and manage lawful termination when necessary

• Develop and execute the Annual Manpower Plan aligned to the project pipeline and EFY calendar

• Manage the Annual HR Budget (HR-014) covering salary, new hire, training, and engagement budgets — submitted to Finance and MD for approval by 16 July each EFY

• Design and deliver staff training programmes based on the Annual Training Needs Analysis

• Build and maintain Hill Bottom Properties' employer brand — LinkedIn presence, university partnerships, TVET relationships, and staff referral programme

• Manage all government regulatory permits and licences (business licence, construction permits, ERCA, Ministry of Labour) — ensuring zero expired permits

• Supervise the HR Officer, IT Specialist, Admin Supervisor, GS & Facility Officer, and their respective teams

• Enforce the dress code policy — business casual for corporate staff and branded safety gear for engineering/site staff

• Administer the SOP Knowledge Test programme — ensuring all staff are tested and certified on relevant SOPs

• Ensure full compliance with Ethiopian Labour Proclamation No. 1156/2019 and all subsidiary regulations

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources Management, Business Administration, Law, or related field (Master's degree preferred)

• In-depth knowledge of Ethiopian Labour Proclamation No. 1156/2019 and all applicable employment regulations

• Proven experience in talent acquisition including headhunting for senior and specialist roles

• Experience managing government regulatory compliance in Ethiopia (permits, licences, ERCA, Ministry of Labour)

• Fluent Amharic and professional English — written and spoken
