HR Manager

About us
We run two surf camps near Agadir, in Aourir and Tamraght. Our team is about 40 people — reception, housekeeping, kitchen, surf instructors, drivers and guides — plus a remote team handling marketing and sales. Guests come from all over the world, and the camps run all year. We are looking for someone to own the people function. Not to process paperwork and wait for instructions — to be given a goal and decide how to reach it. What you will own
- Hiring. Seven positions are open right now. You decide where to look, who to talk to, and who to recommend.
- Reviews and development. Regular performance conversations across the team, so people know where they stand.
- Discipline and conflict. The difficult conversations, handled properly and documented properly.
- Culture. How it feels to work here, and whether good people stay. You report to one of the owners and work closely with the second on systems and policies. You will have weekly one-to-ones and clear numeric targets agreed with you upfront — but the day-to-day is yours to run. What you get on day one
- Zoho People being rolled out: leave, org structure, performance reviews, document generation
- Direct access to the owners — no layers between you and the decision What we are looking for
- Five or more years managing people. Real headcount reporting to you, real hiring and firing decisions you made yourself. We will ask for specifics.
- Fluent Darija and English. French is a strong plus. The team is Moroccan; the guests are not.
- A real understanding of how work, hiring and discipline function in Moroccan teams — including labour law and what it takes for a decision to hold up.
- Based in Agadir or ready to relocate. This is an on-site role across two villas. Having your own car is a plus.
- Comfortable working towards a target rather than a task list. If you prefer clear instructions handed to you each morning, this is not the right role — and that is fine, it simply is not this one. Experience in hospitality, restaurants or tourism is an advantage. So is having built an HR function from scratch. Conditions Full-time, on-site, base salary plus performance bonus. Three-month probation with numeric targets agreed before you start.

How to apply
Send your CV. In your message, tell us two things: the largest team that has reported to you directly, and one hiring or firing decision you are proud of. Shortlisted candidates receive a practical task — about 75 minutes, done in your own time. We use it because a conversation alone does not show how someone actually works. Work
