- Measure and demonstrate the ROI of employee engagement initiatives
- Present engagement insights and business impact to senior leadership
- Manage the engagement budget and continuously improve programs based on data and employee feedback
- Help scale the function across multiple geographies as the organization grows
What we are looking for

The role will initially have a Pan-India focus and may eventually expand into a broader global Employee Engagement function. Candidates should therefore be comfortable with travel and working across different time zones when required.
Compensation and final designation will be based on the candidate's experience and current level.
