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 Africa. Our talent team is seeking a Lead People Partner - Technology to own the people agenda for a globally distributed engineering organization. This is a fully remote role open to candidates in the UK, Nigeria, or select European locations.

You will partner directly with senior technology leadership across Engineering, Data, Analytics, IT, and Security. This role sits at the intersection of strategic org design and hands-on people partnering, with accountability for both Engineering and Product functions. You will lead one Senior People Partner who covers Product and adjacent teams, while you focus primarily on Engineering—a senior, globally distributed population where genuine fluency in how engineering organizations are built, leveled, and retained is essential.

Responsibilities

• Act as trusted advisor to technology and platform leaders, aligning people strategy to roadmap execution and organizational evolution
• Lead org design initiatives including workforce planning, leveling, and team transformation in a function that is scaling and reshaping simultaneously
• Own end-to-end people partnering across Engineering and Product, with full accountability for the technology portfolio
• Coach, develop, and set direction for your direct report (Senior People Partner), building the partnering standard for the entire technology organization
• Partner with Centers of Excellence to turn people analytics into actionable decisions on capability, attrition, and cost
• Drive distributed team effectiveness by optimizing performance, engagement, and team dynamics in a fast-paced, asynchronous, multi-country environment
• Handle complex employee relations cases, owning the senior and sensitive end of the ER caseload for your portfolio
• Engage directly with C-level leaders including the CTO and CPO, with genuine autonomy and influence over leadership-level people decisions

What We're Looking For

Required experience and skills:

• Senior HR experience partnering with engineering organizations in a scaling technology or fintech business
• Experience leading or formally coaching HR business partners, with the ability to raise the standard of someone else's work
• Proven org design depth—you have led real structural change (leveling, spans and layers, function redesign), not just supported it
• Strategic and operational range: equally comfortable designing long-term org strategy and working at team level
• Remote and global savvy: experience supporting cross-cultural teams across multiple regions
• Strong business acumen with the ability to translate between people priorities and business outcomes at leadership level
• Comfortable operating with autonomy at C-level, engaging directly with senior technology executives
• Employee relations judgment across more than one jurisdiction, knowing when to own cases and when to bring in specialists (UK/Europe employment law exposure is useful but not essential)
• Genuine fluency in how engineering organizations are built, leveled, and retained—this matters far more than adjacency to technical teams
