Open role

HR Head — India Capability Centre

A European engineering group establishing its first India centre

• LOCATION Bengaluru, Karnataka
• TYPE Permanent
• EXPERIENCE 14+ years
• REFERENCE VYS-GCC-007

About The Role

What this role is.

Apply for this role

A foundational appointment. The centre is in its first year and the HR function does not yet exist — this role builds it.

The successful candidate will be one of the first fifteen hires, and will be accountable for the people architecture that everything after is built on.

What you'll do

Responsibilities.

• Establish the HR function: policy, compliance, payroll partner selection
• Design levelling and banding that reconciles parent structure with the Indian market
• Own the hiring plan alongside the site head through the scale-up
• Build employer positioning for an organisation with no local brand recognition
• Advise the parent organisation on India-specific workforce realities

What we're looking for

Essential.





• 14+ years in HR, with experience of a GCC or captive centre build
• Robust grounding in Indian labour law and statutory compliance
• Demonstrable experience designing structure, not only administering it
• Credibility with a European or North American parent leadership team

Nice to have

• Engineering or manufacturing sector background
• Experience of a greenfield site rather than an established one

What this role offers

Why it's worth a conversation.

• Genuine greenfield scope — you are designing, not maintaining
• Direct reporting line to the site head and dotted line to group HR
• Influence over the centre's trajectory at the point where it still matters

How to apply

One step.

Send your CV quoting reference VYS-GCC-007. One of our founders reviews every application personally.

Your application is confidential. We will not share your details with the hiring organisation without discussing the role wit
