About Village Enterprise

Village Enterprise works to end extreme poverty in rural Africa through entrepreneurship and innovation. Our US-based staff are deeply integrated into a global team that spans Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and beyond. We believe strongly in cultivating a connected, high-trust, mission-centered culture—no matter where our teams sit.

About the Role

The People & Culture Partner is responsible for strengthening the employee experience for our US-based remote team while serving as the primary liaison with Insperity, our Professional Employer Organization(PEO), and the global People & Culture (P&C) team. This role blends HR coordination, culture-building, compliance support, onboarding excellence, and cross-continental partnership.

This is a unique opportunity for an HR professional who loves people, believes deeply in mission-driven work, and is passionate about creating an exceptional workplace for a small but mighty remote US team while staying in close alignment with our East Africa P&C leadership.

Key Responsibilities

1. HR Administration & PEO Liaison (Insperity)

• Serve as the primary point of contact with Insperity for payroll, benefits, compliance, onboarding, and offboarding.

• Manage US hiring logistics: job postings, screening support, interview coordination, and supporting hiring managers.

• Maintain accurate HR files, compliance documentation, and benefits administration.

• Troubleshoot employee questions regarding benefits, leave, and policies.

2. People & Culture Partnership (Global)

• Collaborate with the VP of People & Culture (East Africa) to harmonize processes, values, and culture for the US team.

• Provide expertise and guidance on US market compensation, benefits, and leave practices.

• Align onboarding materials, performance processes, and training modules with global standards.

• Support culture initiatives that foster unity across US and East Africa teams.

• Participate in cross-functional projects with the global P&C team.

3. Employee Experience & Culture Building

• Strengthen the culture of a primarily remote US team through intentional connection, celebration, communication, and engagement.

• Lead onboarding experiences that help new staff feel connected to the mission, global team, and values.

• Coordinate internal trainings, learning opportunities, and team-building moments.

• Identify opportunities to improve remote work experience, belonging, and professional development.

• Manage and resolve US employee relations matters by offering timely guidance, facilitating conflict resolution, and ensuring adherence to organizational policies and employment laws.

4. HR Systems, Performance, & Policy Support

• Support performance review processes in coordination with global P&C and US managers.

• Maintain HRIS records and ensure data integrity.

• Help ensure policies reflect both US legal requirements and organizational values.

• Track US employee lifecycle events (promotions, role changes, milestones).

• Provide HR administrative support, including assisting staff with timesheet troubleshooting (Flair issues, project additions/removals), and sending timesheet and PTO request/approval reminders to relieve existing P&C workload.

• Support management of the U.S. People & Culture budget, including tracking expenses, maintaining updated records, and preparing basic budget reports as needed.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of HR experience, ideally in a nonprofit or global organization.

• Familiarity with PEO structures (Insperity experience a plus).

• Strong people instincts, communication skills, and relationship-centered approach.

• Experience supporting remote teams and building connection across distance.

• Ability to partner cross-culturally and navigate different organizational norms.

• Commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

What We Offer

• Part-time, flexible (up to 32 hours/week).

• Highly mission-driven environment with global exposure.

• Health, Dental, Vision, Paid Time Off, 401k.
