Human Resources and Payroll Administrator

Location: Windhoek, Namibia

Salary: Market related
Duration: Permanent

Strong in HR, exceptional with payroll? Here's your chance to own both and make a real impact.

Is this you?

You are an organised and detail-focused HR professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment. Accuracy comes naturally to you, especially when managing payroll and compliance-related tasks. Working closely with management appeals to you, and you enjoy balancing people-focused responsibilities with structured administrative processes. Calm under pressure, you take pride in maintaining high standards while building positive working relationships across the business.

What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)

This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of both HR and payroll functions within a busy organisation. Responsibilities include payroll administration, employee benefits, recruitment and onboarding, performance management support, policy implementation, employee relations, training coordination and compliance reporting. You will also oversee affirmative action and health and safety requirements. You’ll enjoy this role because it provides broad exposure across the HR spectrum, allowing you to make a meaningful impact on both employees and business operations.

Where you’ll be doing it

Join a well-established organisation operating within the automotive and mobility sector. Known for its professional standards and strong market presence, the business offers a structured environment where people, compliance and operational excellence are valued. You’ll work alongside experienced leadership and contribute to a company that continues to play an important role in its industry.

What you’ll need

A tertiary qualification in Human Resources is essential, coupled with at least five years’ experience in a similar HR and payroll role. Strong knowledge of Namibian labour legislation and substantial VIP Payroll experience are required. Beyond HR expertise, you’ll need sound financial acumen with the ability to manage payroll accurately, interpret payroll reports, reconcile payroll data and ensure compliance with statutory requirements. Strong administrative skills, excellent computer literacy and a meticulous approach to detail will set you apart. Success in this role will come from your ability to balance people processes with financial accuracy while maintaining confidentiality and compliance at all times. This positions the role much more strongly as an HR professional who is also trusted with a significant payroll and financial responsibility component.

What you’ll get

An opportunity to join a respected organisation in a key HR and payroll position, offering broad responsibility, exposure to senior management and the chance to contribute to a professional and people-focused workplace.
