We need the best team on board for our mission to put the power of crypto in everyone’s hands. 

Our team’s purpose is to ignite Luno's mission by inspiring the extraordinary and empowering our global community. We do this by building a high-performing team. One united by our mission and Moontality, where Lunauts can reach their potential in a remote but reachable world.

• Performance: Support your stakeholders and the business to cultivate a high-performance culture by fostering highly engaged teams, characterised by trust, ownership, growth, and belonging, to consistently achieve Luno’s goals. Managing initiatives related to goal setting, performance conversations, talent mapping, and end-to-end performance management.
• Organisational design: Support the business with organisational design to optimise the team and role structures, facilitate role levelling, and partner with your stakeholders and Talent Acquisition team on the headcount needs of your stakeholders.
• Employee Relations: Be a trusted partner able to guide, investigate, and facilitate processes and make recommendations relating to misconduct, underperformance, probation, incapacity, and other challenges that may arise. 
• People Projects: Lead, drive, manage, and measure the success and impact of people projects within your relevant stakeholder groups.
