  • Partner with Talent Acquisition teams to build scalable hiring strategies and strengthen critical talent pipelines.
  • Lead employee engagement and culture initiatives that support a high-performance and inclusive workplace.
  • Provide leadership on compensation, rewards, benefits, and people-related policies in partnership with relevant teams.
  • Guide managers and senior leaders on employee relations, performance matters, organisational changes, and people decisions.
  • Lead change-management initiatives associated with organisational growth, transformation, restructuring, or new operating models.
  • Establish HR governance, policies, processes, and operating mechanisms appropriate for a growing GCC.
  • Use people analytics and workforce insights to support data-driven leadership decisions.
  • Strengthen leadership capability through coaching, development programs, and succession planning.
  • Collaborate with global HR teams to ensure consistency while adapting people practices to the India environment.

  • Build a strong HR team and establish clear ownership, service standards, and operating rhythms.
  • Continuously improve HR processes, employee experience, organisational effectiveness, and people operations.

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • 15+ years of progressive HR experience, including significant experience in senior HR leadership roles.
  • Proven experience leading the People/HR function for a GCC, multinational organisation, technology company, or similarly complex environment.
  • Strong expertise in strategic HR Business Partnering (HRBP) and senior stakeholder management.
  • Demonstrated experience partnering with executive and global leadership teams on people and organisational priorities.
  • Strong understanding of GCC operating models, workforce planning, organisational design, and capability building.
  • Extensive experience across talent management, leadership development, performance management, employee engagement, compensation, and succession planning.
  • Strong experience managing organisational transformation and change in fast-growing or evolving environments.
  • Excellent understanding of India employment practices, HR policies, employee relations, and compliance.
  • Strong analytical and strategic-thinking skills with the ability to connect people initiatives to business outcomes.
  • Exceptional communication, influencing, coaching, and stakeholder-management capabilities.
  • Ability to operate effectively at both strategic and execution levels, with strong ownership and commercial awareness.
  • Experience building and scaling HR teams, processes, and operating frameworks from the ground up.
