We are establishing a new India back office operation to support our UK businesses.

Our intention is to start with a small team of employees working remotely and through hybrid arrangements, then gradually expand as business requirements develop.

Over time, the operation may grow to 30 to 35 employees or more, including specialists based in Ahmedabad, Delhi NCR, Noida, Bengaluru, Kerala and other Indian locations.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced, independent and hands on HR & Administration Manager who can take responsibility for establishing and managing our India operation from the beginning.

Initially, you may be responsible for all HR, recruitment, administration and staff coordination activities yourself.

As the business grows, additional employees and departmental managers may be appointed.

We need someone with proven practical HR experience, not simply general administration or recruitment coordination experience.

Key Responsibilities

- Independently manage recruitment, candidate screening, interviews and employee selection.
- Prepare job descriptions, offer letters, employment contracts and onboarding documentation.
- Establish HR policies, employee procedures and staff records.
- Coordinate payroll, attendance, leave, working hours and statutory compliance.
- Manage employee grievances, disciplinary matters and performance reviews.
- Supervise remote and hybrid employees across different departments.
- Coordinate daily tasks, deadlines, attendance and productivity reporting.
- Establish recruitment and administration systems using Odoo or other approved software.
- Organise interviews, training,



meetings and occasional office attendance in Ahmedabad.
- Work directly with UK management on recruitment priorities, employee performance and operational planning.
- Coordinate the gradual expansion of the team as business requirements increase.
- Help establish an organised, professional and effective India back office operation.

Essential Requirements

Applicants must have:

- At least 3 to 5 years of dedicated HR and administration experience.
- Proven experience independently recruiting and onboarding employees.
- Practical knowledge of Indian employment documentation, HR policies and statutory requirements.
- Experience coordinating payroll, attendance, leave and employee records.
- Experience handling employee issues, performance management and HR procedures.
- Ability to supervise staff and manage general office administration.
- Strong written and spoken English.
- Good computer skills, including Excel and online business systems.
- Ability to work independently without constant supervision.
- Willingness to manage a small operation initially and take on greater responsibility as it grows.

Experience in ecommerce, retail, wholesale, garment manufacturing, purchasing or international business would be advantageous.

Familiarity with Odoo ERP, Shopify, HR software and remote employee management would also be beneficial.

Working Arrangements

The position will initially operate on a hybrid basis.

Employees may work remotely, with meetings, interviews, training and office attendance in Ahmedabad when required.

The successful candidate must be based in Ahmedabad or able to attend meetings there regularly.

Working hours will be agreed to allow effective communication with our UK management team.

This is a full time, long term position, not a freelance or part time opportunity.

Recruitment and Expansion Plans





We expect to begin by recruiting a small number of employees for key positions, potentially including Odoo, Shopify, ecommerce, purchasing and customer service.

The HR & Administration Manager will be responsible for helping establish the recruitment process and managing the team as it develops.

We will expand gradually according to business needs rather than recruiting all planned employees immediately.
