Job description

We are seeking a creative, empathetic, and dynamic People Experience & Employer Branding Specialist with 4-8 years of experience to anchor our employee lifecycle and champion our brand identity in India. This is a highly impactful role sitting within our G&A team, bridging the gap between People Operations, Corporate Culture, and Strategic Branding. Your primary mission will be twofold: internally, ensuring our teams are highly engaged, motivated, and supported with an optimal workplace environment; and externally, building a compelling employer brand narrative that positions IAMOPS as the destination of choice for top tech talent across India.

Key Responsibilities

1. Employee Lifecycle, Engagement & Retention

• Continuous Feedback Loops: Proactively manage continuous sentiment mapping, schedule regular catchups, and administer pulse surveys/eNPS metrics to identify and address burnout, technical blocks, or operational friction early.
• Onboarding & First Impressions: Own and evolve the 30-60-90-day onboarding framework. Curate welcoming kits, coordinate company-wide orientations, and manage the internal 'buddy system' to ensure a warm, culturally seamless entry point.
• Rewards & Recognition (R&R): Drive and formalize standard R&R programs (e.g., Peer-to-Peer recognition, spot awards, and recurring performance celebrations) to sustain an internal ecosystem where excellence is consistently highlighted.
• Wellness & Growth: Introduce physical and mental wellness initiatives (workshops, ergonomic evaluations, open dialogues) catered to high-availability technical engineering

2. Workplace Operations & Environment Happiness

• Office Operations Suitability: Collaborate with localized administrative teams across Pune and Surat to maintain an energetic, friction-free office environment that drives natural productivity and everyday workplace satisfaction.
• Swag & Brand Memorabilia: Oversee the full lifecycle of custom IAMOPS merchandise— from creative concepts and vendor alignment to distribution for milestones, work anniversaries, and corporate celebrations.

3. External Brand Awareness & Reputation Management

• Reputation Optimization: Actively track, manage, and build strategies around employee reviews on regional and global employer review platforms to optimize overall scores and maintain an authentic brand reputation.
• Social Media Campaigns: Launch interactive internal challenges and milestones that naturally translate to organic external brand footprint, empowering employees to act as brand advocates across digital channels.
• Event Coordination: Conceptualize and manage internal culture-building activities alongside external technical events, meetups, and open-source contributions to bolster industry visibility.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Experience: 4 to 8 years of proven professional experience explicitly managing Employee Engagement, Workplace Experience, Internal Communications, or Employer Branding inside a tech-centric company or growth-stage startup.
• Platform Fluency: Proven experience managing company brand pages and rolling out structural employee initiatives on LinkedIn.
• Social Media Enthusiast: Deeply enthusiastic about social media trends, content creation, and leveraging digital networks to build brand narrative, community engagement, and organic reach.
• Soft Skills: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; intuitive emotional intelligence with a natural gift for building deep, cross-functional relationships.
• Execution Profile: A self-starter capable of managing creative project workflows independently (from alignment with internal leadership down to local vendor procurement).
• Educational Background: A degree in Human Resources, Communications, Marketing, Business Administration, or an equivalent practical track is preferred
