Job Description
- Own and administer the complete performance management lifecycle — goal-setting/OKR cascading, mid-year and annual reviews, self-appraisals, manager appraisals, calibration, and closure — end to end on Keka.
- Configure and manage performance review cycles, templates, rating scales, and workflows in Keka.
- Drive timely completion of goal-setting, check-ins, and appraisal cycles through tracking, reminders, and escalations to managers and employees.
- Support calibration sessions across business units — consolidating ratings, flagging outliers, and preparing calibration decks/data for leadership discussions.
- Partner with business unit HRBPs and managers to ensure quality of goal-setting (SMART goals/OKRs) and meaningful feedback documentation.
- Manage Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) — tracking, documentation, and coordination with managers and HR business partners.
- Generate performance analytics and dashboards (bell curve distribution, rating trends, department-wise performance, low performer tracking) for leadership and EXCO reviews.
- Handle employee and manager queries related to the performance process; act as the go-to POC for the performance module in Keka.
- Contiuously improve the performance process — templates, communication, training material, and manager enablement (FAQs, how-to guides, calibration toolkits).
- Ensure performance data feeds accurately into downstream processes (increments, promotions, bonus payouts).
- Support the annual compensation review cycle — merit increases, promotions, and bonus/variable pay calculations, working closely with Finance and business leaders.
- Assist in preparing and maintaining salary benchmarking data, compensation structures, and pay bands.
- Coordinate the compensation planning tool/module in Keka — budget allocation, manager recommendations, approvals, and final letter generation.
- Support administration of rewards and recognition programs, including tracking nominations, budgets, and payouts.
- Assist in variable pay/bonus calculations based on performance ratings and business/individual metrics.
- Maintain compensation data integrity in Keka and ensure compliance with internal pay equity guidelines.
- Support ad hoc compensation analyses (pay equity checks, attrition-linked compensation trends, offer benchmarking) as required.
- Assist with statutory/compliance aspects related to compensation documentation.
- 4–7 years of total HR experience, with a significant focus on performance management (majority of experience) and exposure to compensation & benefits.
- Hands-on, working knowledge of Keka HRMS — specifically the Performance and Compensation/Payroll-linked modules — is mandatory.
- Strong understanding of performance management frameworks (goal-setting, OKRs, competency-based appraisals, bell curve/forced ranking, calibration).
- Working knowledge of compensation fundamentals — salary structuring, benchmarking, variable pay design, and increment/bonus cycles.
- Strong Excel/data analysis skills; comfort building dashboards and reports from HRIS data.
- Excellent stakeholder management — ability to work independently with managers, HRBPs, Finance, and leadership.
- High attention to detail and discretion in handling confidential compensation and performance data.
- Strong process orientation, ownership, and ability to manage multiple cycles/deadlines simultaneously, without relying on a team to execute.
- Prior experience in a listed/mid-size organization with multi-business-unit structure.
