Job Description
Job Title: Human Resources Officer

Reports To: HR Manager / HR & Administration Manager
Salary: ETB 25,000–30,000 gross/month
If you mean a Human Resources position with a salary of ETB 25,000–30,000 per month, I would recommend the position as HR Officer / Senior HR Officer, depending on the candidate's experience.
Current Ethiopia job postings show HR Officer roles covering recruitment, onboarding, employee records, attendance, payroll support, performance management, employee relations, training, and labor-law compliance. A recent Senior HR Officer posting in Addis Ababa listed ETB 27,000–30,912 gross, which supports your proposed range.

Salary Level Recommendation
Level | Experience | Recommended Salary |
HR Officer I | 2–3 years | ETB 25,000 |
HR Officer II | 3–4 years | ETB 27,000–28,000 |
Senior HR Officer | 4–5+ years | ETB 29,000–30,000 |
My recommendation: If you are recruiting someone who will independently handle recruitment + payroll coordination + performance + employee relations + HR reporting, use Senior HR Officer, ETB 28,000–30,000 rather than simply HR Officer. This is also consistent with recent Ethiopian HR vacancies that place experienced HR roles around the upper end of this range.
If you want, I can also prepare the complete professional JD with Job Grade, salary 25,000–30,000, KPI/targets, qualifications, competencies and 100-point evaluation criteria ready for your company.
