Role & responsibilities

Our Darwinbox platform is brand new. India and the Philippines are live, and we're heading into phase three of implementation standing up the US and Canada, rolling out the remaining modules, bringing our compensation partner (Compport) online, and connecting Darwinbox to applications and partners such as ALEX, NetSuite, Tableau, and Concur.

We're hiring someone who knows how to build and grow a young system, not just keep one running. You'll deliver phase three while continuing to refine what's already live tightening configuration, cleaning up data and workflows, and raising the standard with each rollout.

This role sits in HR, reporting to the Associate Director, Total Rewards and HR Tech. You'll work as an HR practitioner first close to our payroll, benefits, and total rewards teams and to HR leaders in each country with enough hands-on Darwinbox skill to configure, test, and troubleshoot the platform yourself. IT and our integrations engineer handle the deeper technical build; your value is knowing HR processes well and turning them into working configuration. You'll own the platform long term, documenting it, training the wider HR team, and growing the HR technology function as it matures.

Preferred candidate profile

- Lead phase three US and Canada configuration, workflow design, testing, and go-live — with our payroll and HR teams supplying country requirements alongside our implementation partner/CSM.
- Keep refining what's live. Improve India and Philippines configuration, data quality, and workflows as we learn, rather than freezing them at go-live.
- Roll out the remaining modules, including bringing Compport online for compensation planning and benchmarking.
- Partner with our in-house integrations expert on connections to ALEX, NetSuite, and Concur.



They lead the technical build; you own the HR side — data mapping, business logic, and testing.
- Own the platform day-to-day across Core HR, Onboarding, Performance, Payroll, Leave & Attendance, and Recruitment as each country comes online.
- Navigate country-specific nuances — statutory requirements, payroll structures, leave policies, and HR norms — so each geography is configured correctly, not just India.
- Turn business requirements into system design. Understand the problem first, then recommend the best way to solve it in Darwinbox instead of building exactly what was asked for.
- Roll out reporting across the business. Build the standard report and dashboard set for HR and business leadership, establish conventions for how reports are built and governed, and train HR and country teams to pull their own answers rather than routing every request through you.
- Manage users and access. Own user provisioning and deprovisioning, roles and permissions, and periodic access reviews across all countries — and maintain system health and data integrity.
- Manage releases. Track Darwinbox's quarterly releases, test changes before they hit production, and recommend and roll out new features where they add value.
- Document and teach. Write the configuration and process documentation this platform doesn't have yet and train the wider HR team as we scale.

What You'll Bring

- 2+ years of hands-on Darwinbox experience,



including at least one full implementation or major module rollout — not day-to-day administration only.
- An HRIS analyst who implements. You've configured and launched HRIS modules yourself, not just logged tickets — and you're comfortable working without an established playbook.
- Deep HR domain knowledge across hire-to-retire — onboarding, performance, leave and attendance, payroll inputs, and total rewards — enough to challenge a requirement, not just take it down.
- Strong HR data and reporting skills — building reports and dashboards in the HRIS, advanced Excel, and clean data hygiene. Familiarity with how integrations and APIs work conceptually is practical; SQL or scripting is a bonus, not a requirement.
- Ability to work well with a technical integrations engineer — we have one on staff, so you won't build the connections yourself. You do need to explain HR requirements clearly, define what data goes where and under what rules, and test thoroughly on the Darwinbox side.
- Requirements-gathering ability with non-technical stakeholders, including guiding them to a decision when they're stuck or asking for the wrong thing.
- Vendor and IT coordination experience (Darwinbox support/CSM) across security, SSO, and data governance.
- Bachelor's degree in HR, Business, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- US HRIS experience and Darwinbox certification(s) are a plus, not a requirement.

Work Setup

- Fully remote, work-from-home — open to candidates anywhere in India.
- Stable internet and a distraction-free space for video calls with HR and IT stakeholders across time zones.
- Ability to work a flexible schedule to attend North America online meetings as needed.
- Occasional travel to India offices for team meetings and on-site go-lives.
