Location: Hyderabad

Employment Type: Full time | Work from Office

Salary: Up to ₹7 LPA (Negotiable)

About The Role

We're looking for an HR Operations Manager to own day-to-day HR operations, payroll, and statutory compliance across a distributed team spanning India and Australia.

This is a solo seat. You'll be the person who keeps HR operations running, so we need someone who can take ownership from day one and work independently, not someone who needs close training to get started.

It's also a written-first role by design. You'll be working with thin day-to-day supervision, translating direction into clear, actionable guidance for others in writing rather than through live walkthroughs. If you do your best work in writing rather than in meetings, this role is built for that.

What You'll Own

• Payroll management: Running payroll end to end, including maintaining payroll records, applying statutory deductions and compliance, and generating payslips. This is payroll management, not payment processing.




• Statutory compliance: Keeping the firm compliant across more than one jurisdiction and pay-cycle regime, and making sure employee records and personal data are handled appropriately.
• Employee lifecycle: Owning the employee journey from final selection onward: offer issuance, compensation discussions, onboarding, employee records, and offboarding. Resolving employee conflicts and compliance-adjacent people issues.
• HR systems: Day-to-day operation of our HRMS platform as the system of record for HR and payroll.
• Process cadence: Keeping the performance review and learning cycles running on schedule, tracking deadlines and following up so they get completed. You manage the process, not the content of individual reviews or training design.

What This Role Doesn't Own

• Strategic HR direction and firm-wide people policy sit above this seat.
• Candidate sourcing, screening, and interview
