We are looking for a People & Culture Lead to help build a strong, values-driven organisation where people grow alongside the company.

Purpose of the Role

The People & Culture Lead provides leadership in building a scalable, high-trust organisation that enables LOCALWORKS to grow sustainably.

This role combines hands-on HR delivery with forward-looking organisational development. You will design and strengthen people systems, develop leadership capability, and safeguard a culture rooted in collaboration, craftsmanship, and purpose.

As LOCALWORKS grows, this role will be central to ensuring that our people practices evolve in step with increasing scale and complexity — helping us grow without losing what makes us unique.

• Strengthen leadership confidence and accountability across teams.

• Help identify and prepare future organisational leaders.


3. Learning, Development & Succession

• Design structured learning and development frameworks suited to a growing organisation.

• Lead mentorship and coaching initiatives across departments.

• Establish development pathways for young professionals.

• Support long-term organisational capability and succession planning.


4. Performance Management & Accountability

• Develop and maintain a clear, growth-oriented performance management system.

• Support managers in setting expectations, goals, and development plans.

• Embed regular feedback, reflection, and learning processes.

• Promote accountability while maintaining a supportive culture.


5. HR Systems, Policies & Compliance

• Develop and continuously improve HR policies, procedures, and systems.

• Ensure compliance with Ugandan labour law and employment best practice.

• Maintain reliable employee records and HR reporting.

• Develop people metrics to support leadership decision-making.


6. Recruitment & Onboarding

• Lead recruitment aligned with operational needs and long-term growth.

• Support managers to recruit for competence, learning potential, and cultural alignment.

• Design structured onboarding processes that integrate new employees effectively.


7. Strategic Support to Leadership

• Act as a trusted advisor to directors and senior managers on organisational development matters.

• Contribute to organisational planning and growth discussions.

• Ensure people implications of change and expansion are proactively addressed.


Key Performance Indicators

• Clear and trusted people systems supporting organisational growth.

• Improved leadership capability across teams.

• Visible development pathways for young professionals.

• Effective recruitment and onboarding processes.

• Strong organisational culture maintained during growth.

• High employee engagement and retention.
