About the job

Wednesday Solutions is a product engineering company headquartered in Pune. We work with digital-first businesses to solve complex product engineering challenges using our proprietary AI-driven product engineering model. Our services — Launch, Amplify, Catalyse, and Control — help shape robust, intelligent, and scalable products across web, mobile, TV, and IoT platforms.

We believe exceptional products are not just built with solid tech, but by exceptional teams — teams that are aligned, motivated, and driven by purpose.

The Role

We’re looking for a seasoned HR Manager to lead our people function and build the systems that power our product engineering excellence.

In this role, you’ll lead a small team of HR executives and work closely with the leadership to shape how we hire, grow, and support the people who build and deliver our services. You’ll be expected to enter with clarity, assess with confidence, and plan with autonomy — setting your own roadmap and driving it with discipline and ownership.

You should bring the mindset and behaviours of a strong leader — humble, driven, emotionally intelligent, highly accountable, and committed to results. The ideal candidate is someone who can both think strategically and execute with precision, understands how to scale people systems, and holds a high bar for quality — especially in service-driven, delivery-oriented environments.

Responsibilities

- Lead a team of 2–3 HR executives, guiding priorities, coaching performance, and ensuring quality across every output.





- Assess the current people landscape and design a roadmap to improve hiring, performance, engagement, and operational efficiency — without waiting for instructions.

- Design and scale systems for recruitment, performance management, L&D;, compensation, and employee experience that align with our business needs and delivery mindset.

- Ensure that all people operations — from onboarding and off-boarding to compliance and feedback — run smoothly, accurately, and empathetically.

- Serve as a trusted partner to the leadership team on org design, team health, and talent planning.

- Set and maintain high-quality standards across all HR processes — from documentation to communication to delivery.

- Diagnose team dynamics and proactively address challenges in alignment, communication, or culture.

- Balance strategic oversight with tactical involvement — knowing when to delegate, and when to stay hands-on.

- Shape and lead people initiatives that promote ownership, service mindset, and performance-driven growth.

Why This Role?

At Wednesday, we deliver high-impact engineering services — and that requires a culture of ownership, clarity, and high performance.

As HR Manager,



you will define how we grow, not just in size, but in strength and cohesion. You’ll have the autonomy to shape the people systems that fuel our delivery — and the accountability to uphold quality where it matters most. You’ll lead, coach, and scale a team that supports every stage of the employee journey — from hiring to high performance.

If you’re a strategic thinker, hands-on doer, and care deeply about building teams that serve with excellence — we’d love to hear from you.

Requirements

- 10–14 years of HR or People Ops experience, with at least 5 years in an IT services company.

- Proven experience leading HR teams and holding high standards while enabling autonomy.

- A demonstrated ability to assess needs, define plans, and execute independently — with minimal hand-holding.

- Strong command of core HR functions: hiring, performance management, engagement, compliance, compensation, and L&D.;

- Clear and structured communicator, both written and verbal — you bring clarity where others hesitate.

- High levels of self-awareness, accountability, and results-orientation.

- Deep understanding of team dynamics in client-serving, delivery-focused environments.

- Strong judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to scale systems without adding unnecessary complexity.
