Role & responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

Systems, Processes & Digital Transformation

- Build scalable HR infrastructure policies, org structure, SOPs and governance — capable of supporting a rapidly doubling workforce.
- Lead HR digitisation: drive selection and adoption of modern HRMS/payroll platforms (e.g. Keka, Zoho) and embed AI and automation into core people processes.
- Establish clean, audit-ready data, MIS and reporting fit for a listed company.

Talent Acquisition & Workforce Structuring

- Manage high-volume hiring of 10+ people per month across engineering, production, quality, projects and support functions.
- Build capability for senior and leadership hiring (up to CXO level).
- Lead the transition of a large contract workforce (~50% of staff) onto the company payroll, with the associated structuring, cost and compliance planning.

Change Management & Employee Engagement

- Drive change management — overcoming resistance from long-tenured employees to recent software, systems and ways of working.
- Design a communication and engagement model that maintains a personal touch with blue-collar workers even as production decentralises to a new facility away from the corporate office.




- Mentor and upskill the existing HR team into a higher-capability function.

Compliance, T&D; and Cross-Functional Synergy

- Institute listing-grade compliance with zero tolerance for error across statutory, labour and governance requirements.
- Conduct training-needs analysis and build T&D; programmes that lift capability across the organisation.
- Foster cross-departmental collaboration and synergy, positioning HR as a strategic partner to the business.

- Age: 40–45 years (indicative) — the balance of energy and maturity the role calls for.
- Capability: proven at building systems from the ground up, HR digitisation, and senior/leadership hiring.
