The Role

We are looking for an experienced and commercially minded People Business Partner to support our teams across Bangalore and Hyderabad.

Based primarily in our Bangalore office, you will partner with managers located in India, as well as managers in other countries who lead employees and teams based in India. You will help managers make effective people decisions, build strong and accountable teams and address employee matters fairly, consistently and promptly.

This is a hands-on role requiring someone who can move confidently between strategic business partnering and practical delivery. You will provide clear advice, use people data to identify priorities and ensure that our People practices support business performance and an engaging employee experience.

• Develop a strong understanding of business priorities, team structures and capability needs, providing pragmatic and commercially balanced People advice.
• Support managers to make timely, fair and evidence-based decisions, constructively challenging where necessary.
• Coach managers to strengthen their confidence and capability in managing people effectively.

Performance and Capability

• Support managers across goal setting, performance conversations, development planning and year-end reviews.
• Help managers address underperformance early and guide them through performance improvement and capability processes.
• Support talent reviews, succession planning and employee development, identifying broader capability gaps requiring action.
• Embed ELITE: Excellence, Leadership, Impact, Trust and Empowerment into performance, recognition and everyday management practices.

Employee Relations

• Manage employee relations matters including performance, conduct, attendance, grievances and workplace concerns.
• Guide managers through appropriate processes, documentation, investigations and risk considerations, ensuring fair and consistent treatment.
• Maintain accurate and confidential case documentation and engage external advisers where specialist Indian employment law guidance is required.
• Identify recurring themes and recommend preventative actions to reduce future employee relations issues.

Organisational Effectiveness and Change

• Partner with managers on organisational change, restructuring, role design and workforce planning.
• Provide People input into business growth, team design and future capability requirements.
• Support consultation, communication and implementation during change, helping leaders understand the practical people impact of decisions.
• Support wider integration and transformation initiatives affecting India-based teams.

Employee Experience and Engagement

• Build a visible and trusted People presence across Bangalore and Hyderabad, including quarterly visits to Hyderabad.
• Use employee feedback and engagement data to identify priorities and work with leaders to turn these into measurable actions.
• Support initiatives that strengthen communication, collaboration, inclusion and connection across locations.
• Promote an employee experience consistent with the organisation’s culture and values.

People Operations and Governance

• Partner with People Operations to deliver a smooth employee lifecycle, covering onboarding, probation, internal moves, promotions and exits.
• Ensure People policies, processes, documentation and systems are applied and maintained accurately and consistently in India.
• Support payroll, benefits and compliance activities through accurate and timely People information.
• Identify opportunities to simplify processes and improve the manager and employee experience.

People Data and Insights

• Use people data to identify trends, risks and priorities across retention, absence, performance, engagement and workforce capability.
• Translate data and business context into meaningful insights and practical recommendations for managers.
• Track agreed People actions and hold managers accountable for delivery, while maintaining appropriate confidentiality and data protection standards.

What You Bring

Required

• Strong experience in a People Business Partner, HR Business Partner or senior HR generalist role in India.
• Practical knowledge of Indian employment practices and experience managing employee relations matters.
• Experience partnering with managers across different locations, functions and countries.
• Confidence advising international managers who may be unfamiliar with Indian employment practices or local workplace expectations.
• A track record of coaching managers and improving management capability.
• Experience supporting performance management, organisational change and employee engagement.
• Strong judgement, with the ability to balance employee experience, legal risk and commercial priorities.
• A practical, calm and solutions-focused approach.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Confidence working with people data and translating it into clear actions.
• High levels of discretion, integrity and attention to detail.
• Experience using People systems and maintaining accurate employee information.

Desirable

• Experience working in a fast-paced, international technology or software business.
• Experience supporting teams across Bangalore and Hyderabad.
• Experience working within a growing or changing organisation.
• Exposure to global People programmes and cross-border stakeholder management.
• A relevant postgraduate HR qualification or professional HR accreditation.
