HR Manager

People, HRBP & Organisational Development Reports to Senior Management

Experience 2 to 5 years (minimum 2)

Location Noida (see work arrangement)

Team Leads 2 junior HR executives (HR operations and administration)

Role Snapshot A strategic, hands-on HR Manager to own the people function. This is a business-partnering and organisational-development mandate, not an admin or operations role. You will run employee relations, performance and KPI systems, capability building, and OD initiatives, while grooming a two-person HR team that handles day-to-day operations and administration. The role suits someone early in their career but ambitious, comfortable moving between strategy and execution, and ready to travel.

• Build trust and an open-door culture, acting as a bridge between leadership and teams.
• Performance Management & KPIs
• Co-create role-wise KPIs and success metrics with function leads, then own, standardise, and track them.
• Run the performance management cycle end to end, covering goal-setting and mid-year and annual reviews.
• Design and administer the annual 360-degree feedback process, consolidate insights, and drive follow-through with managers.
• Translate performance data into development actions, not just ratings.

• Identify skill and behavioural gaps across teams.
• Design or coordinate light-touch soft-skills and L&D interventions, delivered in-house or through partners.
• Track emerging AI and efficiency tools relevant to the business, enable teams to adopt them, and work with leaders on rollout and ways of working.
• Build onboarding and role-readiness journeys for new hires, and tie learning impact back to performance.
• Team Leadership, HR Operations & Policy
• Lead, groom, and develop 2 junior HR executives who handle HR operations, admin, and coordination.
• Set the standard and quality for HR processes: you own the outcome, the team runs the execution.
• Ensure HR policies, records, and compliance basics are sound, owned through the team rather than personally administered.
• Review and upgrade HR policies as the organisation grows and as new needs emerge.
