Job Opportunity: People, Culture, and Organizational Development Lead (INT11688) JOB PURPOSE: The People, Culture & Organizational Development Lead plays a pivotal role in shaping and executing Oxfam’s people strategy across the Southern Africa (SAF) Cluster, offering high-level strategic and operational guidance. In this capacity, the role ensures that workforce systems, leadership methodologies, organizational culture, and HR frameworks are meticulously aligned with Oxfam’s transition to a regional, partner-led, systems-focused operational model. This position is tasked with developing and executing a cohesive People & Culture strategy that aligns with organizational transformation, workforce sustainability, feminist leadership principles, localization efforts, and long-term institutional resilience. Serving as the primary designer and coordinator of people systems across various countries, it ensures staffing frameworks, talent pipelines, organizational culture, and leadership competencies remain effective within a dynamic, decentralized, and rapidly changing regional framework. As a direct report to the Cluster Director, this position functions as a strategic advisor to senior leadership while overseeing the management of cluster-wide HR systems. The role is responsible for aligning policies and practices across the organization, facilitating workforce planning, leading organizational change initiatives, fostering partner-focused HR strategies, and ensuring adherence to labor laws, donor requirements, and Oxfam’s internal guidelines. This position provides direct leadership and mentorship to HR Officers across the Cluster, fostering strong performance, uniform policy implementation, people-focused leadership, and excellence in service delivery. With strategic leadership, organizational development, workforce transformation, and cultural stewardship, this position will substantially enhance Oxfam’s capacity to maintain a unified, high-performing, inclusive, and future-oriented workforce aligned with the delivery of Oxfam’s 2026–2030 strategy across Southern Africa. As a key participant on the Cluster Leadership Team, you will play an integral role in shaping the strategic direction, governance, and operational management of the SAF Cluster. This position involves shared accountability for the Cluster’s performance, risk oversight, and successful execution of the Cluster Strategy. If based within a program hub, you will operate under delegated authority as the senior Oxfam representative in that country, where you will provide strategic leadership, uphold organizational stewardship, and represent the Cluster in high-level engagements with government bodies, partners, donors, coordination forums, and both internal and external stakeholders. Additionally, you will ensure that country-level implementation aligns with broader regional priorities. ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATIONS A minimum requirement includes a Master’s degree or equivalent in Human Resources, Organizational Development, Psychology, or a closely related field. Alternatively, candidates with a Bachelor’s degree and substantial postgraduate or professional qualifications, coupled with at least ten years of relevant experience, may also be considered. A minimum of six years of progressive leadership experience within human resources, organizational development, or people strategy is required. Accomplished professionals with a track record of driving organizational transformation, designing strategic workforce planning initiatives, leading change management efforts, and navigating multi-country labor systems are encouraged

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
