Requirements

- Manage performance cycles, feedback frameworks, and growth conversations with clarity and care.




- Work closely with leadership to anticipate people needs before they become problems.
- Be the custodian of Cloutgency's culture - protect it as the team grows, and evolve it where needed.
- Handle HR operations: contracts, compliance, policies, and everything in between - cleanly and quietly, Hands-on with HRMS tools and day-to-day HR operations — PF, payroll, leave management, compliance, and everything that keeps the people engine running smoothly.

What You Will Get
- A seat at the table - people decisions at Cloutgency are strategic, not administrative.
- The autonomy to build the HR function your way, with leadership that trusts you to own it.
- Direct collaboration with founders on culture, hiring, and org design as the company scales.
- A team that genuinely values people - this role exists because we mean it, not because we have to.
- Room to shape how a modern creative agency thinks about its people, from the inside.
