About CITiLIGHT

CITiLIGHT is a smart street lighting and IoT infrastructure company, managing 810,000+ automated street lights across 140+ cities in India and internationally. With roughly 36 employees today and a growing engineering, procurement, and field operations base — plus a quick-scaling sister semiconductor programme (Citichip) — we're building out our people function to support the next phase of growth.

Role Summary

We're looking for a Manager – HR to own the full employee lifecycle and build scalable HR systems and processes for a growing, multi-location hardware/technology organization. This is a hands-on role covering recruitment, HRIS/systems, policy, and employee experience, with room to grow as the team scales toward 50+.

Key Responsibilities

- Own end-to-end recruitment: sourcing, screening, interview coordination, and shortlisting for technical (embedded, procurement, finance) and non-technical roles
- Manage and continue building out the HRIS (Zoho People) — organizational structure, employee records, location-based work calendars (5-day/6-day week structures), attendance, and regularization workflows
- Design and administer onboarding and offboarding processes
- Develop and maintain HR policies appropriate to a growing hardware/engineering company with field and office staff across locations
- Manage payroll coordination with finance, leave management, and attendance compliance




- Support performance management processes — goal-setting, review cycles, and feedback frameworks
- Handle employee relations, grievance resolution, and day-to-day people queries
- Ensure statutory HR compliance (PF, ESI, labour law requirements, POSH, etc.)
- Support employer branding and hiring pipeline building as the company scales toward its ~50-person target across CITiLIGHT and Citichip
- Partner with founders and functional leads to plan headcount and organizational structure as the business grows

Qualifications

- Bachelor's/Master's degree in HR, Business Administration, or related field
- 5–8 years of HR generalist experience, ideally in a startup, hardware/engineering, or fast-growing technology company
- Hands-on experience with an HRIS platform (Zoho People experience is a strong plus)
- Working knowledge of Indian labour law and statutory compliance requirements

Key Skills

- Strong organizational and process-building skills — comfortable creating structure where little exists yet
- Good judgment in handling sensitive employee matters
- Ability to hire across diverse functions (engineering, embedded/firmware, procurement, finance, field operations)
- Clear communicator, comfortable working directly with founders in a lean team

What We Offer

- Ownership of the HR function during a critical scale-up phase (36 → 50+ employees)
- Exposure to building people processes across two connected but distinct businesses (CITiLIGHT operations and the Citichip semiconductor programme)
- Compensation: INR 12,00,000 per annum
