  • Build and lead a small, high-performing HR team, including HR staff in India and other locations.

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in human resources, business, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of progressive HR experience, including at least 3 years in an HR leadership role.
  • Experience leading HR across multiple countries, ideally including the US and India.
  • Hands-on experience designing and running compensation, merit, and bonus programs.
  • Strong working knowledge of US and California employment law, and familiarity with employment practices in India and APAC.
  • Proven ability to advise senior leaders and influence decisions with data.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience at a venture-backed technology, IT services, or AI company of 300 to 1,000 employees.
  • HR certification such as SHRM-SCP or SPHR.
  • Experience implementing or managing an HRIS (such as Workday, Rippling, or BambooHR).
  • Experience supporting M&A, international expansion, or entity setup.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
