The Role

We don't believe P&C creates impact by starting with policies, processes, or frameworks, but by understanding the business and the people deeply enough to influence real decisions. In this role, you won't be expected to jump in and 'fix' things on day one. Instead, you'll be expected to listen, observe, learn, and build context—about the vision, business, teams, and individuals who make the work happen.

What Excites Us

• How well you understand why businesses behave the way they do
• How you read people beyond what they say out loud
• How confidently you can translate that understanding into sound, practical people decisions

Responsibilities

Understanding Before Action

• Your first responsibility is to gather context about the business, how value is created, where teams struggle, and what motivates people.

Being a Real Business Partner

• Work closely with business stakeholders—not as a support, but as a thinking partner.
• Form opinions, ask hard questions, and offer people‑related advice grounded in business reality, not HR theory.

Performance That Actually Means Something

• Own and evolve the performance management ecosystem—from goal setting to feedback to outcomes.
• Ensure it is a system that helps people grow, leaders lead better, and the business performs stronger.

Compensation, Rewards & Trade‑offs

• Work on compensation philosophy, salary bands, and reward structures, treating numbers as signals.
• Help business stakeholders navigate difficult trade‑offs with fairness, clarity, and sound judgment.

Hiring with Judgment

• Be deeply involved in behavioural fitment interviews and hiring decisions.
• Assess real capability, behaviour, and fit—looking beyond polished answers—to ensure the right people enter the system.

Governance Without Bureaucracy

• Own P&C policies and compliance with a strong sense of responsibility, not rigidity.
• Engage with people practices beyond India, especially in the UK, and learn how decisions change across legal, cultural, and operating contexts.

Insights, Not Just Data

• Use people data to spot patterns in attrition, engagement, performance, and growth, turning insights into actionable decisions.

Who You Are

• You understand the business and have a pulse on people on the ground.
• Business members trust your judgment and seek your input on people decisions.
• Your advice is intentional, not reactive.
• You take ownership naturally, without reminders or guardrails.
• You move fast when needed and thoughtfully when it matters.

What We're Looking For

• Has worked closely with business stakeholders in fast‑moving, evolving environments for at least 5 years.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and incomplete information.
• Think in systems, act with pragmatism.
• Hands‑on experience with performance management and compensation frameworks.
• Uses data to inform judgment, not replace it.
• Operates with a strong sense of ownership—‘the buck stops here’.
• Low on ego, high on accountability, and genuinely collaborative.
• Exposure to UK P&C compliance and statutory requirements is a strong plus.

This Role May Not Be Right For You If

• You prefer clearly defined tasks over open‑ended responsibility.
• You see P&C primarily as a support or service function.
• You’re uncomfortable challenging leaders or influencing tough decisions.
• You’re looking for a role where strategy and execution are neatly separated.

What You’ll Love

• Competitive compensation aligned to level and experience.
• ESOPs.
• Insurance and standard benefits.

Other Details

This role will stretch you. It will ask you to think deeply, act decisively, and own outcomes—even when things are messy. If that excites you more than it scares you, you’re likely a good fit.

We have a hybrid model; flexibility to come in more regularly is required.

We are proud to be an equal‑opportunity employer. We are committed to embracing diversity and inclusion in our hiring practices, and we promote a work environment where everyone, from any race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin, can do their best work.

We are committed to providing an inclusive and accessible interview experience for all candidates. Please let us know if you require any accommodation during the interview process, and we will make every effort to meet your needs.
