About The Role

As Senior Talent Acquisition Manager at IQWorks, you will own hiring across the company. You will partner with the founders and function leads to shape roles, build sourcing pipelines from scratch, run structured interview processes, and close candidates in a competitive market for engineering, AI, privacy, and go-to-market talent. This is a hands-on, full-cycle role — you will source and screen as much as you will design the hiring bar, the employer brand, and the candidate experience that make strong people want to join us. You will also lay the foundations of the wider people function as we grow: hiring plans, interview scorecards, compensation benchmarking, and onboarding. Because we build data protection software, you will handle candidate data with the same care we expect of our customers. We support hybrid working and flexible schedule, and we look for people who bring the consistency and responsiveness that high-ownership work depends on. This role is based in Mumbai.
