Job description

As we grow beyond a 25-30 member team and prepare for rapid scaling, we are looking for a dynamic HR Generalist who can build the foundation of our People function. This role goes beyond traditional HR — it blends recruitment, culture-building, compliance, people operations, and strategic support for the founders.

You will help create a structured, employee-first environment while supporting the company’s next phase of growth.

Key Responsibilities

1. Talent Acquisition & Workforce Planning

• Own end-to-end hiring for all functions (screening → interviews → offer rollout).
• Build hiring processes, JD templates, talent pipelines, and onboarding frameworks.
• Coordinate with founders and team leads to plan manpower for the next 6–12 months.
• Manage candidate experience and employer branding across platforms.

2. Onboarding, Induction & Culture Building

• Set up structured onboarding and employee welcome processes.
• Build and maintain a positive, value-driven culture across the team.
• Drive initiatives that strengthen belonging, collaboration, and company values.
• Plan engagement activities, appreciation programs, and internal communication.

3. HR Operations & Employee Lifecycle Management

• Maintain attendance, leave tracking, and HR documentation.
• Manage employee records, offer letters, NDAs, contracts, and confirmations.
• Support payroll coordination and salary structure discussions.
• Develop and enforce HR policies, SOPs, and handbooks tailored to a growing startup.

4. Compliance & Statutory Management

• Ensure compliance with labour laws, PF, ESIC, Shops & Establishments Act.
• Set up and manage the POSH Committee (mandatory for 10+ employees).
• Oversee HR audits, background verification, and legal documentation.
• Build transparent and fair appraisal, performance, and bonus frameworks.

5. Employee Relations & Retention

• Act as the first point of contact for employee issues, grievances, and concerns.
• Conduct 1:1 check-ins, pulse surveys, and feedback loops for continuous improvement.
• Support career development planning and identify retention strategies.
• Mediate conflicts when needed and maintain a healthy team environment.

6. Strategic HR Support

• Provide founders with insights on hiring progress, attrition risks, and team well-being.
• Implement HRMS tools (Keka, Zoho HR, BambooHR) to streamline workflows.
• Support organizational design, role clarity, and future workforce planning.
• Assist in structuring salary bands, compensation models, and growth frameworks.

What This Role Enables

By joining now, you will:

• Lay the entire HR foundation of a fast-growing startup.
• Directly influence culture, team performance, and employee experience.
• Work closely with founders and leadership in shaping organizational growth.

Who We’re Looking For

Ideal Candidate Traits

• 2–5 years of HR experience, preferably in a startup or fast-paced environment.
• Strong understanding of HR operations, recruitment, and employee relations.
• Excellent communication, empathy, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership, and manage multiple priorities.
• Comfortable setting up processes from scratch — not just maintaining them.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with HRMS tools (Keka, Zoho, BambooHR).
• Understanding of labour law compliance and statutory processes.
• Prior exposure to building culture or employer branding initiatives.
• Ability to scale HR processes for growing teams (15 → 30 → 75+).

What We Offer

• Opportunity to build the HR function from the ground up.
• Work directly with founders on strategic people initiatives.
• Fast growth, high visibility, and significant ownership.
• A culture built on trust, transparency, and growth.
