Talent Manager, Johannesburg

SIS Global is a Microsoft-platform-led digital transformation business operating across South Africa, the UK, the USA, and the Middle East. We deliver enterprise transformation through our vertical platforms— edu365, Fleet365, and RealEstate365 — built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, Azure, Power Platform, and Copilot. We are a fast-growing, ambitious company and this is one of the most important hires we are making this year.

The Role We are looking for an experienced Talent Manager to own our HR operations and recruitment across four regions. You will report directly to the CEO, inherit an active multi-region recruitment pipeline, and be the person who makes our People function work— from the first contact with a candidate to the day an employee celebrates their work anniversary.

This is a hands‑on, high‑ownership role. You will be running multiple searches across South Africa, the UK, and the US at the same time, coordinating performance reviews, managing our Microsoft certification programme, and handling everything in between. If you thrive on variety, take pride in execution, and want direct access to leadership in a growing tech business — this is for you.

Own end‑to‑end recruitment across all regions — permanent employees, contractors, and consultants

Manage LinkedIn Recruiter daily— you will be in it every day, not occasionally

Coordinate with recruitment agencies, hiring managers, and business unit leads

Manage the Microsoft certification and Partner Skilling Hub training calendar across all staff

Coordinate learning and development programmes: management workshops, onboarding training, and role‑specific training

Track training completion and follow up with line managers on outstanding items

Staff Engagement&Communications

Manage staff events, management getaways, birthdays, work anniversaries, and team recognition

Coordinate company update meetings and internal staff communications

Run the annual staff satisfaction survey and present findings to the CEO

What We Need From You Requirements

Degree in Human Resources Management or similar

Hands‑on LinkedIn Recruiter experience — active daily use, not familiarity

5+ years in a combined HR operations and recruitment role

Proven track record recruiting across technical, sales, and professional roles simultaneously

Experience recruiting across multiple regions— at least two of SA, UK, or US

Strong HR operations capability— contracts, onboarding, offboarding, performance cycles

Experience in a technology, Microsoft partner, or professional services company

Familiarity with Microsoft Dynamics 365 HR, Viva, or similar HRIS platforms

Experience coordinating Microsoft certification or partner skilling programmes

Exposure to compliance frameworks— ISO27001, POPIA, GDPR — at a coordination level

The Person We Are Looking For You are organised, proactive, and unflappable. You manage multiple open roles across three continents without dropping the ball because you have built systems that keep everything visible. You communicate clearly with a CEO, a software developer, and a candidate in the same morning and adjust your tone perfectly for each. You take confidentiality seriously. You follow up without being chased. You care about doing this well.
