Our business spans supply chain, marketing, channel management, enterprise sales, and media, with an operational footprint across South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Nigeria.

About the Role

We’re looking for a high-potential HR Graduate to join our team in an HR Graduate role, supporting both Core Group and iStore.

This is not a purely administrative role,  it’s a hands-on opportunity to gain exposure across multiple areas of HR in a fast-paced, high-performing business. You’ll work closely with the HR team and business stakeholders, getting involved in real work that supports how the business operates and grows.

If you’re serious about building a career in HR and want exposure beyond just one area, this role will give you that foundation.

What You’ll Be Doing

General HR Exposure

• Gain exposure across key HR areas including recruitment, payroll support, employee relations, and learning & development
• Support ad hoc HR projects and broader team initiatives
• Assist in ensuring HR processes and policies are applied consistently across the business

Administration & Coordination

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date employee records and HR systems
• Support onboarding and offboarding processes
• Assist with employment contracts and HR documentation
• Coordinate interviews, meetings, and general HR logistics
• Provide day-to-day administrative support to the HR team

Reporting & Data Support

• Assist with HR reporting and dashboards
• Capture and update data (headcount, leave, employee movements, etc.)
• Ensure data accuracy across systems
• Use Excel and internal tools to track and manage HR information

Employee Experience & Recruitment Support

• Assist with interview scheduling and candidate communication
• Support recruitment and employer branding initiatives
• Help coordinate employee engagement activities and internal events
• Provide support across learning and development initiatives

Who We’re Looking For

• Completed degree in Human Resources, Industrial Psychology, or a related field
• Strong attention to detail and good organisational skills
• Comfortable working on Excel and PowerPoint
• Strong communication skills (written and verbal)
• Willing to learn, take initiative, and get involved
• Professional, reliable, and able to handle confidential information
• Able to work in a fast-paced environment

What Makes This Role Different

• Real exposure across the full HR function — not just admin
• Opportunity to work in a dynamic, high-performance environment
• Involvement in meaningful HR work from day one
• A strong foundation to grow into generalist or specialist HR roles
