Role Context:

This is a brand-new role were creating to bring some order to how we handle compliance across our global People Operations team and processes

Right now, compliance work is happening in pockets across different roles, and we need someone to pull it all together into a consistent, scalable framework that works globally

The person will be based in Gurugram but supporting all our regions - partnering closely with our Ops team, HRIS team (Workday), Legal, Privacy, Audit, and HR leaders worldwide

Theyll be building things from scratch: creating our controls inventory, setting up testing schedules, getting us audit-ready, and making sure compliance is baked into our processes and systems - not just bolted on at the end

This isnt a pure advisory role - we need someone hands-on who can establish the discipline, design processes, manage audits, track remediation, and give our senior leadership clear metrics showing where we stand on compliance and risk

Why This Sits in HC Ops (Not Compliance) :

We need someone who owns the controls for HR processes day-to-day, not someone who oversees from the outside

Compliance sets the requirements; this role translates them into how we actually work in Workday, approval workflows, and HR operations

They need to be embedded with the teams running onboarding, payroll, benefits, and HRIS - with the credibility and access to change how things run

When auditors come, theyre testing our processes, so HC Ops needs to own the evidence and remediation

Whats Working:

1. Candidates with hands-on process experience (not just users,



but those whove configured controls, designed security roles, or implemented systems)
2. "Builder" profiles - people whove established current compliance functions or frameworks from scratch, not just operated within existing structures
3. Multi-geography compliance experience - managing requirements across multiple jurisdictions, not just India-focused
4. Strong communication and strategic partnership - ability to influence senior stakeholders and translate technical compliance into business language
5. Financial services background - brings understanding of regulatory rigor and audit expectations

Whats Not Working:

1. Candidates conflating Employee Relations with HR Compliance - ER (investigations, grievances, disciplinary) is handled by another team

We need operational controls expertise (controls inventory, testing cadence, audit readiness, HRIS controls embedding)
2. Pure advisory/strategic roles without hands-on execution - we need someone willing to be hands-on, not just advise
3. Specialists without operational controls experience
4. Plant/manufacturing IR focus - too narrow, missing systems and global complexity

Must-Haves:

1.



Compliance mindset - Thinks preventively about risk and control gaps, balances compliance rigor with business enablement, and embeds controls into processes rather than bolting them on afterward
2. Operational controls experience - Has built or maintained controls inventories, testing schedules, and evidence frameworks, not just advised on policy
3. Audit coordination - Has supported internal/external audits end-to-end, managed evidence, tracked remediation, and closed findings with accountability
4. Building capability - Has established new compliance functions, frameworks, or governance models from scratch in ambiguous environments
5. Strategic partnership - Can influence senior stakeholders, translate compliance into business language, and challenge thinking constructively

Preferred:

1. Multi-geography - managed compliance across multiple countries/jurisdictions
2. HRIS partnership - embedded controls in Workday or similar platforms (RBAC, approvals, audit logs, SoD)
3. Financial services, insurance, or regulated industry background
4. Workday security/configuration experience (not just end-user)
5. RCSA, control testing, or risk framework methodology
6. Certifications: Six Sigma, CISA, CRISC, CIPP/E
7. Experience with privacy/records management (GDPR, data retention)
