Moniepoint is Hiring a People Transformation Principal - Remote

Full-time remote. Senior individual contributor. No salary is disclosed, but people operations roles in Nigerian tech with genuine CPO access and company-wide scope are uncommon. This one has both.

About the company

Moniepoint builds financial infrastructure for African businesses. Payment processing, banking, credit, business management, the whole stack. It operates at scale, supporting more than 3,000 employees across its business. That growth outpaced the People function, which is why this role now exists.

What the People Transformation role involves

Not a project management title with a transformation label on it. The principal owns the People Transformation Roadmap across the full year, every milestone, every quarter, and full accountability.

Day to day:

• Map current workflows across recruitment, people operations, business partnering, and development. Redesign them with process discipline and data accuracy as the primary goals, not just speed.
• Run weekly cross-functional meetings with Talent Acquisition, People Business Partners, and Ops Leads. Keep milestones moving when they stall.
• Build the internal communications, training materials, and behavioural prompts that get managers and staff to actually work differently.
• Put governance structures in place that prevent data silos from forming again once cleared.
• Define what success looks like for the CPO. Measure it. Report on it regularly.

Who they want

Required:

• 5 to 7 years in Management Consulting, People Operations, or Business Transformation.
• A minimum of a bachelor's degree (BA, BSc, or HND).
• Proven experience leading large-scale HR transformations across multiple regions - Nigeria and the UK are specifically named.
• Ability to influence senior stakeholders without having direct authority over them.
• Experience inside a high-growth fintech or tech company during a period of rapid, messy scaling.

Preferred:

• Six Sigma or Lean certification
• Experience integrating HR systems, including some understanding of how People tech stacks connect at the API level
• A track record of explaining technical complexity to non-technical executives

Salary and benefits

Moniepoint has not disclosed compensation.

For market context: Principal-level people transformation roles at Nigerian fintechs with international operations typically pay between ₦3M and ₦15M annually for locally benchmarked hires. Senior remote roles at comparable African fintechs at this level tend to fall between $40,000 and $70,000 USD for globally compensated positions. Whether Moniepoint benchmarks this role locally or globally is unconfirmed.

Health insurance, pension contributions, and equity participation are not listed in the posting.

Is this open to Nigerians?

Yes. The listing states Nigeria as the location. The role is fully remote, so physical presence at a Moniepoint office is not required.

Because this is a Nigerian entity, salary is likely paid in naira unless negotiated otherwise. Confirm currency and payment structure before reaching the offer stage if that matters to you.

GizPulse verdict

The scope here is genuine. More than 3,000 employees, a full people function rebuild, and a direct reporting line to the CPO. Combined with full remote flexibility, that combination is hard to find at this seniority level in Nigerian tech right now.

Best suited for someone who has run a multi-function HR transformation before, ideally across Nigeria and at least one other market, and who can prove it with data. Process diagrams are not proof. Results are.

To stand out, write a one-page case study of a transformation you led. Name the before state, what changed, and the measured outcome. Most applicants at this level will submit a CV. Few will submit evidence.
