• Ensure consistent and lawful application of HR policies across all departments
• Manage grievances, disciplinary processes, and staff exits in full compliance with the Kenyan Employment Act
• Maintain audit-ready HR documentation and support both internal and external compliance reviews
• Translate business objectives into actionable HR strategies and people plans
• Partner with business units to support talent acquisition, performance management, and succession planning

Liquid Intelligent Technologies offers a competitive compensation package benchmarked to the technology sector in Kenya. The estimated monthly salary range for this role is KES 120,000 – 200,000, commensurate with experience and qualifications. Additional benefits are in line with those typical of a regional technology employer of this scale.

• Competitive base salary
• Medical insurance cover
• Exposure to a pan-African organization with career growth opportunities
• Modern, collaborative work environment in Nairobi

Ideal candidate: You are an HR professional with at least 3 years of experience in a business-partnering or senior generalist role, ideally within a technology, telecommunications, or multinational company. You understand Kenyan labour law deeply, can hold your own in a boardroom, and genuinely enjoy coaching managers to become better leaders. You are comfortable with ambiguity, proactive in your approach, and take pride in delivering quality work consistently.

Do not apply if: You are looking for a purely administrative HR role, have fewer than 3 years of relevant HR experience, or are not familiar with Kenyan employment legislation. This role requires someone who can operate strategically and independently — it is not suited to candidates who need close supervision or those without experience handling employee relations matters.
