We are looking for a people first HR Lead to own end to end talent acquisition and help build the people foundation for our growing team. The ideal candidate will bring hands on experience in recruitment and hiring at scale, along with sound HR generalist knowledge, someone who can build hiring pipelines and also think about org design, culture, and retention. We believe the right HR leader carries ownership beyond a fixed , brings structure to messy hiring problems, and does not stay boxed within a narrow function.

This role is an invitation to someone who sees people strategy as a lever for business growth, not just a support function.

Key Responsibilities

- Talent Acquisition Ownership: Independently manage end to end recruitment across levels,

from sourcing strategy to offer closure, including leadership and niche hiring.
- Recruitment Process Design: Build and refine hiring workflows, interview frameworks, and

screening criteria suited to the complexity of each role.
- Vendor and Consultancy Management: Evaluate, onboard, and manage external

recruitment partners and executive search firms, including commercial negotiation and performance tracking.
- HR Generalist Practice: Apply sound HR thinking across onboarding, performance

management, employee engagement, and policy design as the team scales.
- Workforce Planning: Partner with business leaders to forecast hiring needs and build talent

pipelines ahead of demand.
- Employer Branding: Strengthen the company's positioning as an employer of choice to





improve inbound candidate quality and reduce dependency on paid search.

mature system.

structures such as retained versus contingent search.
- HR generalist depth in performance management, org design, or culture, as a secondary

strength rather than a substitute for TA experience.
