People Operations Coordinator

Job description

Cape Town (office based)

We’re looking for a strong People Operations Coordinator to join the Glynt People team, supporting our group of businesses (Tractor Outdoor, Polygon, BMT, and Ignis), each with its own operational needs and dynamics.

This is a hands-on role in a fast-moving environment with a mix of well-established processes and areas that still need structure and improvement. You’ll play a key role in bringing consistency, organization, and a strong employee experience to how our people function operates across the group.

What you’ll be responsible for:

You’ll take ownership of day-to-day HR operations across the full employee lifecycle, ensuring processes run smoothly with minimal oversight, including:

• Employee lifecycle management: onboarding, offboarding, contracts, and employee records
• HR systems and data: maintaining accurate data, reporting, and improving system processes
• Payroll coordination: preparing inputs, managing changes, and resolving queries
• Recruitment co first-line HR queries and day-to-day admin
• Employee relations (IR support): coordinating disciplinary processes, maintaining records, and supporting basic ER matters
• L and D administration: coordinating training, tracking development.
• BEE and compliance support: maintaining records for audits and supporting skills development requirements
• Employee experience and culture:
• Supporting the coordination of internal initiatives, events, and engagement activities
• Helping ensure a smooth, positive experience across key employee touchpoints
• Bringing structure and consistency to how employees experience HR processes

How you’ll work:

You’ll work closely with the head of people and culture, who is actively involved in the business and the detail of how things are done.

This role is best suited to someone who:

• Is comfortable working in close partnership (not in isolation)
• Can take ownership of execution while collaborating on approach
• Is open to feedback and iteration as we improve how things are done
• Enjoys being part of building and refining processes, not just maintaining them

What we’re looking for:

• 3–5 years’ experience in an HR coordinator / people ops role
• Experience working in fast-paced or growing environments
• Strong experience with HR systems and data management
• Exposure to payroll processes
• Basic experience with employee relations / IR admin
• Exposure to BEE and/or L and D administration (advantageous)
• Experience with HRIS and payroll systems

Who you are:

• Highly organised and detail-oriented
• Proactive and able to work independently
• Strong sense of ownership - you follow through and close loops
• Comfortable handling confidential information
• A problem-solver who brings structure to complexity
• Someone who cares about both process and people experience
• Adaptable and comfortable working in an environment that is still evolving

Why this role matters
This role is key to helping us build a more structured, efficient, and scalable People function across the group - while also improving the day-to-day experience of employees across the business.

If you enjoy creating order, owning systems, and working closely with a hands-on People Lead to improve how things are done, we’d love to hear from you.
