Executive Opportunity: HR Lead at Jaza Energy Inc.
Jaza Energy Inc., a social enterprise dedicated to powering Sub-Saharan Africa, is seeking a strategic and hands-on HR Lead for their Tanzania operations. Jaza is unique for its “Jaza Stars” model—hiring and empowering local women to run solar-powered battery-swapping hubs.
As the Country HR Lead, you will be a cornerstone of the Country Leadership Team. Your mission is to build a scalable HR “operating system” that supports rapid growth while maintaining a deep commitment to a culture of leadership and entrepreneurship.
Strategic HR Leadership & Talent Management

2. Performance & Culture Champion
You aren’t just managing files; you are managing growth. You will oversee succession planning, skills gap analysis, and training programs that turn local hires into business leaders.
3. Compliance, Payroll & Risk
- Labor Law: Act as the ultimate authority on Tanzania labor laws and ELRA (Employment and Labour Relations Act) compliance.
- HRIS & Data: Lead the rollout of the company’s HR Information System to ensure 100% data integrity.
- Payroll: Oversee accurate monthly payroll data submission and benefit administration.
Candidate Requirements
Jaza is looking for a “builder” who has experience setting up systems from scratch in a scaling environment.
- Experience: 7+ years of progressive HR experience, with at least 5 years in a leadership role.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in HR Management, Law, Business Administration, or Psychology.
- Sector Expertise: Proven track record in high-volume recruitment for distributed or field-based workforces.
