Head, People and Culture @ MySCU
About
Hi, I’m Damilola Oyafemi, a Head of People & Culture who enjoys helping startups and growing businesses build teams and workplaces where people actually want to show up, contribute, and stay. My work sits at the intersection of People Operations, Talent Strategy, HR leadership, and communication. I focus on creating simple, scalable systems that support business growth from improving hiring processes to building healthier cultures and stronger employee experiences. Over the years, I’ve learned that great teams don’t come together by chance. They’re built with intention. That’s why I partner with founders, hiring managers, and business leaders to design people strategies that make sense for where they are now and where they want to go. Whether it’s refining onboarding, coaching leaders, strengthening internal communication, or improving the hiring journey, I aim to make people-related decisions easier and more strategic. Alongside my work with organizations, I also support professionals through career coaching, CV and LinkedIn optimization, interview prep, and personal branding. Helping people gain confidence and clarity in their next step is something I genuinely enjoy. I believe careers and companies should be designed with purpose, not pressure, and that people thrive when they feel seen, supported, and set up for success. ✨ Here’s how I can support your goals: • CV & LinkedIn Optimization • Personal Branding & Career Visibility • HR & Hiring Strategy for Startups & SMEs • People Operations Setup & Process Design • Creative Assets (onboarding kits, branded decks, internal culture materials) 📌 Let’s connect if: • You’re hiring and want to build a strong, values-driven team • You’re a job seeker needing clarity, confidence, or direction • You’re a founder looking for straightforward, scalable people systems • You’re building a brand and want it to look and feel more intentional 💬 I’m always open to meaningful conversations and collaborative opportunities. Feel free to reach out or follow for insights on People & Culture, hiring, and career growth.
