Quick Summary

Overview

MOO set out to shake up the world of print back in 2006. And we’ve come a long way since. Today we’re a 400 + strong team (we’re thinking of getting matching jackets) who create print and digital products for companies of all sizes – from Google and AirBnB to the guy who makes those amazing prints…

As our People Generalist, you are a seasoned pro who handles specialized tasks with full independence. You’ll own the end-to-end operational lifecycle for our South African MOOsters.

We’re looking for an experienced People Generalist who can combine People Operations expertise with MOO’s Every Detail Counts and Imagine It Better values. You’re a self-starter with broad experience, comfortable managing multiple priorities, and passionate about process optimisation, business continuity, and problem-solving.

Human-Centric: You believe that "no one wants to speak to a robot." You communicate with warmth, clarity, and professionalism, even when handling tough conversations.

Collaborative Leader: You naturally foster a collaborative environment and are eager to "Tackle it Together" with the UK and US People squads.
