Enko Capital Management LLP, a FCA-regulated investment firm, is part of the Enko Capital Group. Enko Capital is an elite, award-winning boutique asset management firm that focusses its investment strategies across the African continent. The group has offices and operations in London, Mauritius, South Africa, Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, and Rwanda.

About the Role
Enko currently seeks a versatile and proactive bilingual (English and French) HR professional to join our expanding asset management firm. This standalone role blends advisory and operational HR functions, working closely with senior leadership (COO) to support our UK and international workforce. The ideal candidate will have a good understanding of UK employment law, excellent organizational skills, the ability to liaise confidently with local authorities across African jurisdictions, ensure compliance with local requirements, and constructively engage with employees in the UK and the other jurisdictions.
The position will initially begin as a contract role with the expectation that the individual's success will transition the role into a full-time role. Enko may be willing to sponsor the UK work visa in select and limited circumstances.
Key Responsibilities
- Act as a trusted advisor to management and employees on UK employment law, employee relations, performance management, and HR policy.
- Ensure compliance with employment law, company policies, and data protection requirements.
- Liaise with non-UK authorities and Enko offices across Africa to ensure compliant multi-jurisdictional HR practice.
- Support recruitment activities as needed, such as coordinating interviews and assisting with onboarding, while the COO leads recruitment processes.
- Assist with benefits administration and resolve employee HR queries efficiently.
- Support employee engagement initiatives, training coordination, and performance review cycles.
- Collaborate with senior leadership on people strategies that support business growth and workforce planning.
- Provide day-to-day HR support, including maintaining employee records, managing HR documentation, and administering HR systems.
