Role Overview The Digital Fifth is looking for a hands-on HR & Admin Head to independently own the entire HR and administrative function for the organization. This is a true end-to-end role, you will be responsible for the complete employee lifecycle (hiring to exit), day-to-day HR operations, strategic workforce planning, and full administrative management, including vendor and office space management. The ideal candidate is someone who has grown through a Generalist or HRBP role and is ready to independently lead the HR and Admin charter for a growing BFSI consulting organization.

Key Responsibilities
1. End-to-End HR Function (Hiring to Exit)
• Own the complete employee lifecycle — recruitment, onboarding, confirmation, performance management, and exit/offboarding.
• Drive hiring across lateral and campus channels, partnering with functional leads to close open positions within timelines.
• Design and execute structured exit processes, including exit interviews, clearance, and full-and-final settlement coordination. 2.
Workforce Planning & Strategic HR
• Partner with leadership on workforce planning — headcount forecasting, budgeting, and org structuring aligned to business growth.
• Build and maintain HR dashboards and reports (hiring status, attrition, engagement metrics) for leadership visibility.
• Contribute to HR policy design and process improvement as the organization scales.
• Support leadership with data-backed inputs for key people's decisions. 3. HR Operations
• Manage onboarding and induction to ensure a smooth, structured start for every new joiner.
• Oversee monthly payroll processing and coordination with finance/payroll vendors, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
• Drive employee engagement initiatives, calendars, and programs that build culture and retention.
• Act as the first point of contact for employee grievances, ensuring timely, fair, and confidential resolution.
• Maintain and update HR records, policies,



and compliance documentation. 4. Admin Management
• Independently manage the end-to-end administrative function for the office.
• Manage vendor relationships — sourcing, negotiation, onboarding, and tracking (housekeeping, security,facility vendors, etc.).
• Oversee office space management, including upkeep, seating, supplies, and coordination.
• Ensure smooth day-to-day office operations and act as the single point of contact for all admin related needs. Candidate Requirements
• MBA in Human Resources from a Tier 2 institute.
• 4-5 years of relevant experience, with prior exposure to an HR Generalist or HRBP role.
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage HR operations without heavy supervision.
• Working knowledge of payroll coordination, statutory compliance basics, and HR MIS/dashboards.
• Prior exposure to vendor and office administration is preferred.
• Strong communication, organization, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, small-team consulting setting where the role spans both strategic and operational work. What This Role Offers This role is built for someone who wants to own HR & Admin end-to-end, not manage a narrow slice of it while someone else calls the shots. Specifically, you'll get:
• Full ownership: You will run, and be accountable for the entire HR and Admin charter — not just execute a checklist handed down from above.
• Direct access to leadership: You'll work closely with the founding team, with your inputs feeding directly into business and people decisions — not filtered through multiple layers.
• Room to build, not just maintain: As the company scales, you will have the opportunity to design HR processes, policies, and systems from the ground up rather than inherit a fixed playbook.
• Breadth over specialization: Genuine exposure across strategic HR, operations, and admin — ideal for someone looking to grow into a senior HR leadership role.
