Manager – HR | Talent Acquisition & People Operations

Location: Mumbai (on-site) Experience: 4–7 years

Employment Type: Full-Time (6 days a week)

About the Role

dMACQ is looking for a hands-on and driven HR Manager to manage the complete HR function for our growing organization of approximately 150 employees.
