This week's issue has something a little different. One of the roles we found isn't at a big Western tech company. It's at Wave — a fintech built for Africa, operating across 9 African countries, on a mission to make the continent cashless. They need a People Partner. The job is remote. And it might be the most meaningful role we've ever featured.

That's what this newsletter is about. Not just jobs. The right ones.

Here's what we found this week. 👇

  1. People Partner — Wave

If you're in HR or People Operations — stop here. Wave has over 7 million users across Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Uganda, Burkina Faso, The Gambia, Niger, Sierra Leone, and Cameroon. They're not hiring from Africa — they're hiring for Africa. This People Partner role sits at the centre of their operations team, supporting leadership across multiple countries with performance coaching, talent development, and employee experience. It's real HR work. On the continent. For a company that's actually changing lives.

You'll solve problems, write help documentation, and feed insights back into the product. The salary is global — meaning you get paid the same rate whether you're in Accra, Lagos, or Nairobi. That's rare. And it matters.

💡 Skill of the Week

Make your LinkedIn headline work harder. Most people write their job title and stop there. Instead, try this: lead with what you do, add your experience, and finish with where you want to go. "Registered Nurse | 5 years ICU experience | Seeking remote roles in health informatics." Three parts. One line. Tells a hiring manager everything before they click anything.

🛠 Tool of the Week: Notion (free)

Build a simple job tracker — company, role, date applied, follow-up date, status. The people who land interviews aren't always the best qualified. They're the ones who follow up. Notion makes it free and takes 10 minutes to set up.

That Wave role, though. If you know someone in HR who's been waiting for a role that actually means something — send them this issue. It might be exactly what they've been looking for.

See you next Tuesday.
