Lead People Partner – Technology

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential fintech organization that is scaling its technology infrastructure to support financial inclusion across multiple African markets. Our talent team is seeking a Lead People Partner – Technology to own the people agenda for a globally distributed engineering organization serving millions of customers.

This is a fully remote role open to candidates based in the UK, Nigeria, or select locations across Europe. You will report to the People Director and work directly with senior technology leadership including engineering, data, analytics, IT, and security functions.

Responsibilities

• Act as trusted advisor to the CTO and technology leadership team, aligning people strategy to organizational evolution and roadmap execution
• Lead organizational design initiatives including workforce planning, leveling frameworks, and team transformation across a scaling and reshaping engineering function
• Hold end-to-end accountability for people partnering across Engineering and Product organizations
• Manage and develop one Senior People Partner who covers Product and adjacent functions
• Partner with Centers of Excellence to leverage people analytics for decisions on capability development, retention, and organizational cost
• Drive performance, engagement, and team effectiveness across distributed, asynchronous, multi-country teams
• Handle complex and sensitive employee relations cases for senior technical populations
• Design and implement structural changes to support a globally distributed senior engineering workforce across Africa, Europe, and the UK

What We're Looking For

Required Experience:

• Senior HR experience partnering with engineering organizations in scaling technology or fintech companies
• Proven track record leading or formally coaching HR business partners, with demonstrated ability to elevate team performance
• Deep organizational design expertise: you have led real structural change including leveling, spans and layers, and function redesign—not just supported it
• Strategic and operational range: equally comfortable designing long-term organizational strategy and working at team level with engineering leaders
• Experience supporting remote, cross-cultural teams across multiple regions and geographies
• Strong business acumen with ability to translate between people priorities and business outcomes at the leadership level
• Comfort operating autonomously with C-level stakeholders
• Sound employee relations judgment across more than one jurisdiction, with understanding of when to own cases and when to engage specialists (UK/Europe employment law exposure beneficial but not essential)
• Genuine fluency in how engineering organizations are built, leveled, and retained—this matters more than adjacency to technical functions
