About the role

Rancho Labs is looking for an HR Consultant to work closely with our founders on day-to-day people matters. This is a adaptable, part time consulting engagement for someone who enjoys being the trusted person employees can talk to and who can turn concerns into practical solutions.

What you'll do
Work directly with the founders as their go-to HR advisor, guiding employee-related decisions and challenges as they come up.
Handle employee escalations and grievances fairly and confidentially, investigating issues and recommending resolutions.
Conduct regular one-on-one conversations with employees to understand their concerns, motivation, and feedback.
Track recurring issues and follow through until they're resolved, keeping founders informed on team sentiment.
Mediate conflicts between team members or between employees and managers.
Suggest improvements to HR policies, communication, and team culture based on what you hear from employees.
Support with sensitive conversations such as performance concerns, exits,



and difficult feedback when needed.

What we're looking for
3+ years of HR experience, ideally in HR generalist or employee relations roles, preferably with startups or fast-growing teams.
Strong listening skills and the ability to build trust quickly with employees at all levels.
Sound judgment in handling confidential and sensitive situations.
Working knowledge of Indian labour laws and HR best practices.
Comfortable working independently and communicating directly with founders.
Open to in-office meetups twice a month, or as required.
Experience in edtech or small, founder-led organisations is a plus.
