Job Description

We're on the lookout for a Senior Compliance Specialist to join our team and become the go-to expert on payroll and HR legislation across South Africa, Africa, and the Middle East.




This isn't your typical "tick-the-box" compliance role. Here, you'll be at the heart of our business -- researching legislation, anticipating changes before they land, and helping us (and our clients) stay ahead of the curve. You'll take complex statutory requirements and make them simple, clear, and actionable for everyone from system developers to client-facing consultants.




This role is a hybrid role based out of our Johannesburg office, 3 days a week.


Key Responsibilities

In this role, you'll:




- Own compliance for your allocated countries and act as the subject matter expert


- Translate legislation into practical solutions and guidance


- Keep our compliance knowledge base and training materials up to date


- Support colleagues and clients with queries, presentations, and insights


- Shape articles and thought leadership pieces that build our reputation




We're looking for someone who combines sharp legislative knowledge with excellent communication skills. If you enjoy being the trusted expert in the room, and you thrive on making complex information accessible and valuable, this could be the perfect fit.




Why join us?




You'll make a real impact across the AME region, collaborate with motivated teams, and grow your expertise in a role that's as people-focused as it is detail-driven.




Ready to turn compliance into a strength? We'd love to hear from you.
