Senior Performance and Learning Expert( Urgent)
Kerchanshe Trading CompanyAbout This Role
This role is about building the systems that make a large workforce actually productive—not just processing paperwork. You will own how people are measured, developed, and held accountable across the company, which means you are less a trainer and more an architect of organizational behavior. It suits a professional who enjoys designing frameworks, analyzing performance data, and then closing skill gaps through targeted learning interventions. Kerchanshe is a major player in Ethiopia’s agricultural export sector, so expect a fast-paced, results-driven environment where your work directly impacts business targets.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The emphasis on "design" and "coordination" signals they want someone who can think strategically, not just deliver training sessions. The implied profile is a professional who has moved beyond individual-level HR tasks and can see the whole picture—linking performance metrics to business goals. You likely need strong analytical skills to conduct learning needs analysis and the gravitas to supervise performance reviews, which often involve managing senior stakeholders' expectations.
How to Approach This Application
Do not just list training programs you have run. Instead, prepare a one-page summary of a performance management framework you have designed or improved, showing how it connected to measurable business outcomes (e.g., reduced turnover, increased sales, faster onboarding). The employer will prioritize evidence that you can handle the "urgent" timeline and that you understand how to implement a system across multiple levels, not just in one department. Emphasize your experience with both performance appraisal systems and learning needs analysis in your cover letter.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for an experienced HR professional with 5–8 years in performance management and learning & development, ideally in a fast-growing trading or manufacturing company. Given the "urgent" label, competition may be moderate but the employer will move quickly, so strong candidates who demonstrate immediate readiness will have an edge.
