Culture & People Operations Partner

Function: People & Culture

Experience: 3–6 years

Location: Gurugram The Role

At Vutto, we believe the People function has two jobs:

Create an environment where people can do their best work.

And make sure the systems behind them actually work.

We’re looking for a Culture & People Operations Partner to take ownership of both.

This is a role for someone who can move between people, processes and problems with ease. Someone who can have a conversation with an employee in the morning, fix a broken HR process in the afternoon, and drive a culture initiative by evening.

There won’t always be a perfectly defined playbook.

We’re looking for someone who can build one.

What You’ll Own

1. Employee Experience

- Own key employee touchpoints across the employee lifecycle.
- Make onboarding, internal communication, engagement and everyday HR interactions thoughtful and seamless.
- Act as a trusted point of contact for employees and help resolve issues with speed and judgement.
- Continuously identify opportunities to make the employee experience better.

2. People Operations

- Own the day-to-day HR operations backbone and ensure it runs reliably.
- Manage HR systems, employee records, attendance, leave, documentation, payroll inputs and other core processes.
- Ensure critical HR processes happen accurately and on time.
- Bring structure to processes as the organisation grows.

3. Culture & Engagement

- Help translate Vutto's values into everyday employee behaviour and experiences.
- Drive initiatives around engagement, communication, celebrations, townhalls and culture.
- Understand what employees are experiencing on the ground and bring those insights to the People team.
- Build initiatives that employees actually find useful — not activities for the sake of activities.

4. Ownership & Problem Solving

- Identify gaps before they become problems.




- Take ambiguous problems and drive them to closure.
- Work directly with managers and leaders to get things moving.
- Build processes where none exist and improve processes that no longer work.
- Take responsibility for outcomes rather than waiting for instructions.

5. People Projects

- Partner with the People team on performance management, employee engagement, HR policies, internal communication and other organisation-wide initiatives.
- Support the evolution of People practices as Vutto scales.
- Use data, employee feedback and business context to improve how we work.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who has already spent enough time in HR to operate independently, but still has the curiosity to build and experiment.

You should have

- 3–6 years of experience in HR, People Operations, People & Culture or a similar role
- .Solid understanding of core HR operations
- .Experience owning employee-facing HR processes end-to-end
- .Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
- .Good judgement when dealing with employee and business situations
- .A high bar for execution and attention to detail
- .The ability to prioritise when multiple things need attention at the same time
- .Comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving startup environment
- .A genuine interest in building culture, not just administering HR

.

What Matters Most

We’re not looking for someone who says:

“This isn't my responsibility.”

We’re looking for someone who says:

“This needs to get done. Let me figure it out.”

You will have the freedom to pick up problems, question existing ways of working, build new processes and directly influence how employees experience Vutto.

If you enjoy owning things, solving messy problems and building People practices from the ground up, you’ll enjoy this role.

Why This Role?

- Because you won't be joining a People function just to maintain what already exists.
- You’ll have the opportunity to help build what comes next.
