HR & ADMINISTRATION MANAGER (GOA BASED ONLY)

YUMA GOA | SIOLIM, NORTH GOA

Yuma is an Amazonian, Latin American and Peruvian-inspired riverfront restaurant and nightlife destination coming to Siolim, Goa.

We’re building our founding team and looking for an experienced HR & Administration Manager to take ownership of our people operations, recruitment, payroll coordination, employee administration and HR compliance as we prepare to bring Yuma to life.

We need someone who can build the right team, establish robust systems from the ground up and keep the people side of a fast-paced hospitality business running seamlessly.

THE ROLE

- Manage the complete recruitment lifecycle, from sourcing and screening candidates to interviews, salary negotiations, offer letters and onboarding.
- Oversee hiring across all departments, including kitchen, front of house, bar, housekeeping, operations and administration.
- Work closely with management and department heads to identify staffing requirements and ensure positions are filled within agreed timelines.
- Develop and maintain recruitment pipelines, candidate databases and employee records.

- Handle employee grievances, workplace concerns,



attendance issues and disciplinary matters professionally and confidentially.
- Coordinate manpower planning, duty rosters and staffing requirements with department heads.
- Oversee general administration, documentation, employee records, asset tracking and other day-to-day administrative requirements.
- Coordinate employee accommodation and joining logistics wherever applicable.
- Prepare regular reports on hiring, headcount, attrition, attendance, payroll and other HR-related matters for management.
- Establish organised, practical HR systems that can support Yuma’s growth and future expansion.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Proven experience as an HR Manager, HR & Administration Manager or in a similar senior HR role.
- 4–6+ years of relevant HR experience, preferably in restaurants, hotels, bars, clubs or the wider hospitality industry.

- Proficiency in MS Excel, Google Sheets and digital record-keeping systems.
- Excellent communication, interpersonal and problem-solving skills.
- The ability to handle confidential employee information and sensitive workplace matters with discretion.
- Someone who takes initiative,



works independently and can build systems rather than simply follow existing ones.

THE YUMA APPROACH We’re not looking for someone who simply processes paperwork or forwards CVs.

We want someone who understands that a great hospitality business starts with the people behind it. Someone who can identify good talent, build dependable teams, maintain structure without unnecessary bureaucracy and create HR systems that actually work on the ground.

You’ll be joining at the foundation stage, which means the opportunity to shape how we hire, manage and support our people from day one.

Organised. Proactive. People-focused. Accountable.

Build the team. Set the standard. Help build Yuma.
