The Role:

We are seeking an experienced, commercially minded People Operations Manager to build and scale our end-to-end People function in India. Reporting directly to executive leadership, you will own the complete employee lifecycle, enforce statutory compliance, and act as a strategic HR Business Partner (HRBP) to operational leads and client account managers.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a People leader who thrives on building scalable processes, embedding culture, and navigating multi-jurisdictional employment frameworks.

- Documentation & Contracts: Manage employment agreements, offer letters, compensation adjustments, promotions, transfers, and official personnel records with total precision.

- Process Optimisation: Continuously evaluate, automate, and refine HR workflows, systems, and administrative processes to support rapid scaling.

Data & Analytics: Establish key People Operations metrics (attrition, engagement, SLA compliance, audit trails) to deliver actionable insights to leadership.

What We’re Looking For

Experience: 5-7 years of progressive experience in People Operations, HRBP, or HR Operations roles, ideally within a high-growth BPO, professional services, or global technology business

Employment Law Expertise: Deep, practical knowledge of Indian labor laws, statutory compliance, and employee relations, with experience or exposure to broader APAC employment frameworks being a strong advantage.

HRBP Capability: Proven track record coaching managers, navigating complex employee relations matters, and driving performance management cycles.
