Principal, People Transformation & Change

Moniepoint is hiring a Principal, People Transformation & Change to lead the systematization of our People function across Nigeria as we scale one of Africa's largest financial platforms. This full-time, on-site role puts you at the center of how we turn fast-moving startup habits into a durable, global People engine.

About the Role

The Principal, People Transformation & Change owns the execution of Moniepoint's People strategy in Nigeria. Rather than running isolated projects, you will knit Recruitment, Operations, Business Partnering, and Development into a single connected lifecycle. Your charge is to help the People Team keep pace with a business that supports more than 3,000 employees, replacing improvised processes with reliable, automated systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the People Transformation Roadmap end to end, delivering each milestone from Q1 through Q4 on schedule and with measurable impact.
• Run workshops to chart current "As-Is" processes, surface bottlenecks, and design future "To-Be" workflows built around automation and clean data.
• Convene weekly transformation sessions with Talent Acquisition, People Business Partners, and Operations leads to keep dependencies unblocked and teams aligned.
• Lead change adoption through communications, training, and timely nudges that help managers and employees embrace new ways of working.
• Stand up governance frameworks that prevent data silos from forming and keep systems talking to one another.
• Set clear KPIs, track ROI, and report progress regularly to the Chief People Officer.

Qualifications

• 5–7 years in management consulting, People operations, or business transformation, ideally gained inside a high-growth fintech or global tech company.
• A demonstrated record of leading large-scale HR transformations across multiple regions, with Nigeria and the UK preferred.
• Deep expertise in process redesign; a Lean or Six Sigma certification is an advantage.
• Strong influence with C-suite stakeholders and cross-functional teams, leading effectively without direct reporting authority.
• A bias for dismantling manual workarounds, the ability to translate technical detail into clear business value, and resilience working through messy data and legacy systems.
