National Talent and Learning Manager — Maputo

Heading, a recruitment agency, is looking for someone to lead talent management and learning at the national level for a fast-moving consumer goods company — the FMCG sector. The role — National Talent and Learning Manager — is based in Maputo (requisition 5870),

with responsibilities covering teams across the entire country. Inademy publishes this vacancy with information confirmed from Heading's official job board. You can apply on that portal — we provide the link below — and the original listing sets the closing date for September 16, 2026.

What this role decides

In this consumer goods sector, people are everywhere: on production lines, in warehouses, in distribution, in stores, and in offices. The talent of these people doesn't develop by chance — it develops when someone designs meaningful programs, measures what works, and adjusts what isn't working.

That is your mission here. You will be the person who decides how the company trains its leaders, how it identifies who has potential to grow, and how it ensures that learning doesn't get stuck in an annual plan forgotten in a drawer.

Your day-to-day

• Lead the national talent and learning and development agenda — setting priorities, schedules, and owners for each program;
• Drive leadership development programs from design to execution, and manage succession planning and the identification of high-potential talent;
• Roll out training and skills development initiatives that keep learning alive throughout the year;
• Manage performance appraisal and management processes, reinforcing a culture where feedback flows both ways;
• Collaborate with talent acquisition on employer branding initiatives — the image the company projects to people who might want to work here;
• Track the metrics that show whether things are working: the talent pipeline, internal promotions, team engagement, and the effectiveness of learning programs.

Who is a great fit here

This role calls for someone who moves naturally between strategy and the training room. One day you are presenting a succession plan to the executive team; the next, reviewing the results of the latest module with the training team; the next, analyzing metrics to understand why a department is losing skilled people.

If you enjoy working with data but miss human interaction, you will find the right balance here. You will also need the patience of a builder: leadership and succession programs bear fruit over years, not weeks, and it is up to you to champion this investment to those seeking immediate results.

Where and how you will work

Based in Maputo, at a client in the FMCG sector, with a nationwide scope — the programs you design are intended for teams across several provinces. Recruitment is handled by Heading, which manages the selection process on its official portal. This is a management position within the client's human resources function.

Remuneration and conditions

The official announcement leaves out pay, contract details and benefits; those answers arrive with the selection process. What is confirmed, however, is the national leadership role, the base in Maputo, and the client's sector. If you go to the interview, prepare yourself for the salary expectation question with the guide on how to answer salary expectations.

How to apply

There is only one way: the official opportunity page, job 5870, on Heading's careers portal. The form asks for two simple things: indicate how you found out about this opportunity and submit your CV.

The listing sets the closing date as September 16, 2026 — don't delay, because creating an account and completing everything takes equipa. Before submitting, polish your CV with the CV building guide (Mozambique, 2026) and prepare the most frequent answers with the job interview guide.

A warning that can never be overstated: no legitimate stage of this selection process involves payment. If someone asks you for money to advance your application, it is a scam — do not pay and follow only the official portal.
