🇿🇦 South Africa - Remote
👥 Human Resources🔵 Mid-level

Job description

About us:

We believe the next generation of financial services will be powered by stablecoins. Founded in 2021, our mission at BVNK is to accelerate global money movement.

We’re building stablecoin-native infrastructure so businesses can move value instantly across borders and networks. With global licenses and T1 bank partnerships, we facilitate billions in transactions for enterprise clients like Worldpay, Deel, LianLian Global, and Rapyd.

Our technology is transforming how businesses operate globally by eliminating payment delays, reducing costs, and unlocking trapped capital.

We’re a diverse team spread across EMEA, North America, and APAC, with a shared belief that stablecoins are the new infrastructure layer for financial services, and that BVNK is at the forefront of this shift.

In 2025, we secured strategic investment from Visa, following our $50 million Series B with Haun Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Scribble Ventures, DRW Venture Capital, Avenir, and Tiger Global. With the backing of these leading investors, we’re accelerating our growth – and we’re looking for smart, ambitious people to help us build the future of financial services.

We’re incredibly honored to have made Newsweek’s list of The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces three years running (most recently in 2025) and to have been recognised by LinkedIn as one of the Top 20 Startups in the UK in 2024.

Global Compliance & Reporting

  • Ensure all People processes meet global and local compliance requirements.
  • Support payroll, benefits, and immigration processes in collaboration with Finance and legal partners.
  • Produce regular analytics reports for the leadership team.

Employee Experience

  • Be a trusted point of contact for employees on operational and policy-related matters.
  • Partner with the People and Talent to improve onboarding, offboarding, and internal mobility experiences.
  • Gather feedback to continuously improve people’s processes.

What we need from you:

  • 3+ years’ experience in People Operations, HR coordination, or HR systems administration ideally within a high-growth, global payments or fintech environment.
  • Experience working with HRIS, ATS, and payroll tools.
  • Skilled in process redesign, automation, and implementing People and Talent technologies.
  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to interpret complex data and generate actionable insights.
  • Confident working with spreadsheets, dashboards, and People analytics tools.
  • Excellent project management skills; highly organised with strong attention to detail.
