Senior HR Manager
Pune, India (hybrid, office-anchored) | Own India HR end-to-end for a global, mission-driven company
The Securly safetyOS™ protects 20M+ students across 20,000+ schools and is credited with helping save 2,400+ student lives . If you want to be the senior People leader who makes a growing India team feel like one seamless part of a global company, this is the role.

Location: Pune, India – hybrid, 2–3 days per week in office
Compensation: 27–32 LPA
Reports to: VP of Operations, India and VP of People (US)
Scope: Senior HR presence for 100 Software Engineering employees in Pune

Securly is a K-12 school safety technology company headquartered in the US, with 80–90 employees in Pune who work from the office 2–3 days per week. You will be the senior People leader for India — the trusted first stop for every employee and manager in Pune, and the person who makes sure our India operation runs as one seamless part of a global company rather than a satellite.
You'll report to the VP of Operations, India and the VP of People (US), partner directly with India site leadership, and own India HR end-to-end.

Business partnership: Act as the HR partner for all Pune managers and employees: employee relations, performance management, coaching, organizational questions, and sensitive matters handled with discretion and sound judgment.
Localize and run global People programs in India — merit and compensation cycles, performance reviews, engagement surveys, career frameworks, and manager development — adapting for India market norms while keeping the company consistent worldwide.
Compliance ownership: Own India statutory and labor compliance: Shops & Establishments, PF, ESI, gratuity, qualified tax, leave administration, and statutory registers, in partnership with our payroll/compliance vendor. Maintain POSH compliance, including the Internal Committee, annual training, and complaint handling.
Talent partnership: Coordinate India recruiting with our US-based Director of Talent Acquisition: local market intelligence, offer construction, candidate experience, and onboarding. You are not a full-desk recruiter, but you are the on-the-ground talent partner.
Own onboarding through offboarding — documentation, background verification, exits,



and full and final settlements — with clean records in our HRIS and reliable headcount and attrition reporting.
Advise US leadership on India: compensation and benefits norms, employment law changes, cultural context, and site health. Flag risks early and bring recommendations, not just questions.
Partner with the Admin & Workplace Experience Manager and site leaders to make Pune a place people want to work — engagement, recognition, events, and a strong in-office experience on hybrid days.

Meet Pune managers and employees one-on-one, and build working rhythms with the VP of People (US) and VP of Operations, India
Get to know our HRIS, India policies, and payroll/compliance vendor, and review the state of statutory registers and POSH compliance
Handle employee relations and sensitive matters end-to-end with discretion and sound judgment
Tighten onboarding-through-offboarding workflows, documentation, and background verification
Deliver reliable headcount and attrition reporting, and bring early risks and recommendations to US leadership
Run at least one global People program in India (such as a performance review, merit cycle, or engagement survey), adapted for India market norms
Partner with Talent Acquisition on India offers, candidate experience, and onboarding
Own India HR end-to-end with clean compliance and records
Partner with the Admin & Workplace Experience Manager and site leaders on a strong engagement, recognition, and in-office culture
Specific goals are set by your managers and may change based on business needs.
10+ years of progressive HR experience in India, including 3+ years leading HR for a site or business unit as the senior HR presence.

- Experience in a global or US-headquartered organization — you know how to represent India within a global People function, work async across time zones, and translate between HQ intent and local reality.




- Deep working knowledge of Indian employment law and statutory compliance (PF, ESI, gratuity, POSH, Shops & Establishments), with experience managing payroll/compliance vendors.
- Based in Pune with regular in-office presence, and availability for recurring early-morning or evening calls with the US.

Experience scaling or professionalizing HR at a growing India site of a global company (GCC or product company).
Exposure to compensation benchmarking and salary band work for India.
MBA/PGDM in HR or equivalent.

You're the only senior HR person on site, so the work is varied and hands-on: an employee relations conversation in the morning, a compliance register or vendor check-in in the afternoon, and a call with US leadership in the evening. Hybrid, office-anchored in Pune, 2–3 days per week in office. Recurring early-morning or evening calls with the US. Candidates must be based in Pune or willing to relocate before start.
