The Role

This is a brand-new role and honestly, a rare one — we're bringing recruitment and people development together under one roof, and handing it to one person to build. You'll hunt down the specialists and leaders this business needs through direct search, then turn around and help our people grow through real training and development. Reporting straight to the Chief People Officer, you won't be joining a structure — you'll be building one.

What You'll Own

Lead direct search / headhunting for specialist and leadership vacancies.
Own recruitment end-to-end — from job specs and sourcing through to offer and handover.
Build relationships with recruitment agencies and educational institutions.
Design and run the annual training and development calendar.
Support employee development and career-progression initiatives.
Prepare applications for training and project co-financing (EU/JobsPlus schemes).

What You Bring

A qualification in HR, business or a related field.
Recruitment experience, ideally including direct search / headhunting.
Experience coordinating training or employee development programmes.
Funding/co-financing application experience is a strong plus.
A relationship-builder who can represent MyConvenience professionally to candidates and partners alike.

Why You'll Love It Here

A strong, instantly recognisable Malta retail brand that opens doors with candidates and partners.
A direct line to the Chief People Officer — your ideas shape how this function is built, not just how it runs.
A genuinely fun, connected team culture — Coffee with HR, Summer & Christmas parties, real team spirit, not just a poster in the break room.
Work that means something beyond the day job — through the Sandra Calleja Foundation, we give back to communities across Malta, and this role helps bring in the people who carry that forward.
Full ownership of a brand-new, business-critical role — this seat has never existed before you.
A fast-moving, growing retail business with real problems to solve and real impact to make.
