C4 is looking for an experienced HR Manager (Portuguese speaking) to join our team in Luena, Angola, supporting a growing and dynamic project environment.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The HR Manager is responsible for the effective delivery and day-to-day management of the Human Resources function across C4’s Angola operations, with a primary focus on supporting the Moxico Sustainable Agricultural Land Management & Ecosystem Restoration Project (MSRP). Reporting to the Deputy Director, the role provides practical, hands‑on HR support and oversight across a remote, decentralised and operationally complex project environment.

A key focus of the role is Industrial Relations (IR) and Employee Relations (ER), including the management of disciplinary and grievance matters, workplace conflict, performance and conduct concerns, employee communication, and the consistent application of employment conditions, policies and procedures. The HR Manager provides guidance to managers and supervisors and ensures that employee matters are managed fairly, consistently and in accordance with Angolan labour legislation and C4 requirements.

The role is also responsible for recruitment and workforce mobilisation; onboarding, induction and employee documentation; HR administration, compliance and records management; and the implementation and continuous improvement of HR policies, systems and processes. This includes ensuring that appropriate HR structures and controls are in place to support both the Project’s current workforce and its anticipated growth.

The role requires a visible and responsive HR presence capable of supporting permanent, fixed‑term, seasonal, field‑based and community‑based workforces while adapting HR practices to the realities of remote operations,



changing workforce requirements and seasonal Project demands. The Project itself involves community‑based implementation, nurseries, planting, agroforestry and restoration activities, making effective workforce management an important component of operational delivery.

ABOUT YOU

You are an experienced HR professional with a strong generalist background and particular strength in Industrial Relations (IR) and Employee Relations (ER). You are confident managing sensitive and complex employee matters, including disciplinary processes, grievances, workplace conflict, performance and conduct concerns, while applying employment legislation and company procedures fairly and consistently.

You are equally comfortable managing the operational aspects of HR, including recruitment and workforce mobilisation, onboarding and induction, employee documentation, HR administration and compliance, and the implementation and improvement of HR policies and systems. You are organised, practical and able to establish effective HR processes in an evolving operational environment.

You are comfortable working independently and providing sound HR guidance to managers and supervisors, while knowing when matters require escalation. You communicate confidently with employees at all levels and can adapt your approach when working with office‑based, field‑based, seasonal and community‑based workforces.





You are adaptable and resilient, with the ability and willingness to work in remote and decentralised Project environments, travel regularly to Project sites and remain responsive to changing operational and workforce requirements. You are fluent in Portuguese, exercise sound judgement and discretion, and are committed to maintaining professional, consistent and legally compliant HR practices across the Project.
