Job description

Cityfurnish is a fast-growing furniture and appliance rental platform operating across 7 Indian cities. We combine technology, design, and operations to deliver a seamless subscription experience — and we're now building the people infrastructure to match our growth.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for an HR Manager to own the entire people function — from hiring and compliance to administration and legal. This is a hands‑on, high‑ownership role for someone who can operate as an IC and build a team. Prior experience in a warehouse, logistics, or manufacturing environment is mandatory.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Talent Acquisition

• Own end‑to‑end recruitment across corporate, tech, and warehouse roles
• Build sourcing pipelines and manage relationships with consultants and staffing agencies
• Define hiring frameworks, manage offer negotiation, and own onboarding experience

Learning, Development & Training

• Design L&D plans for corporate and warehouse teams
• Own mandatory training calendars — fire safety, first aid, PPE, POSH, equipment handling
• Ensure all regulatory‑mandated certifications are current and renewed on time

Payroll & Compensation

• Own accurate, on‑time payroll for all employees including contract and warehouse workforce
• Handle FnF settlements, increments, and TDS coordination with finance

Statutory & Regulatory Compliance

• Warehouse: Fire NOC, medical fitness, PPE enforcement, accident reporting, contractor compliance
• Maintain a zero‑miss compliance calendar and liaise with labour departments

Legal & Employee Relations

• Draft and enforce HR policies — employment agreements, NDAs, asset and data policies
• Manage terminations, PIPs, show‑cause notices, and labour court matters

Exit Management

• Own full exit lifecycle — asset recovery, access revocation, FnF, exit interviews
• Track attrition trends and present quarterly insights to leadership

Performance Management

• Build the PMS framework from scratch — KRAs, review cycles, ratings, PIP process
• Tie outcomes to increments, promotions, and recognition programs

Administration & Facilities

• Manage the office space end‑to‑end — housekeeping, security, AMCs, pantry, seating
• Handle landlord/building liaison, lease documentation, and office insurance
• Own all HR and admin vendors — staffing, BGV, payroll, HRMS, compliance, legal
• Negotiate contracts, manage SLAs, and conduct periodic performance reviews

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 6–8 years of HR experience with at least 2 years in a leadership role
• Mandatory: prior experience in warehouse, logistics, or manufacturing
• Proven ability to build HR systems and policies from scratch
• Strong knowledge of Indian labour law, statutory compliance, and HR legal frameworks
• Hands‑on with payroll, admin, and facilities — not just oversight
• Strong vendor network and excellent written communication
• High ownership mindset — comfortable building structure where none exists

WHY JOIN CITYFURNISH

• Build the HR function from the ground up — full ownership from day one
• Direct access to founders and high visibility across the organisation
• Fast‑paced startup with real problems to solve at scale
• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
