The Employer describes this as a fully remote, full-time consultancy contract open to candidates based in South Africa. Flexible working hours are offered.

• Use recruitment technology, applicant-tracking systems, spreadsheets and digital tools effectively.
• Support the continued development of efficient and scalable recruitment processes.
• Contribute to other business projects where required.
Requirements
• At least four years of experience in project management, business administration, operations management or a similar role involving full responsibility for delivery and results.
• At least one year of experience in a senior project-management, senior business-administration, senior operations-management or comparable role involving the management of others.
