Instituto NOW is Hiring a HR Lead

Instituto NOW is a Brazil-based social enterprise that supports impact-driven organisations in their development and learning. We are a female/non-binary and quite queer company that seeks to foster a work environment that we can be proud of. Our work brings us to organisations across different continents that focus on climate justice, bodily autonomy, intercultural education and circular economy, among other topics. Some of the services we offer are: production of educational content, design of learning journeys and facilitation of group processes.

5+ years of experience in HR, ideally in impact-driven organisations / companies;
Strong understanding of inclusive hiring and team management practices;
Interest in impact-oriented companies and willing to create new approaches that apply to them;
Proficiency in English (understanding, speaking and writing, including grammar);

A creative mind that enjoys thinking out of the box;
Attention to detail and ability to structure and organize ideas and processes;
Experience in self-management and working remotely, using online project management and communication online tools;
