About the Role
This is a strategic People role focused on shaping how the organization scales across structure, leadership, and culture. You will work closely with founders and senior leadership to design the people strategy and ensure it translates into strong, consistent execution. While the role is anchored in strategy, it requires a hands-on approach in the early stages to build and embed the right systems, practices, and cultural foundations.
What You'll Own:
- Driving the end-to-end People strategy across org design, talent development, business partnering, and culture
- Bringing a 360- view of the People function, with the ability to seamlessly operate across People Strategy, OD/TD, and HRBP responsibilities
- Designing and driving performance architecture (goal-setting, reviews, feedback systems)

- Shaping and institutionalizing a high-performance, ownership-driven culture
- Acting as a strategic HRBP to leadership aligning people decisions with business outcomes
- Building leadership capability and manager effectiveness across the organization
- Defining compensation and rewards philosophy aligned with growth and performance
- Translating strategy into simple, effective processes and ensuring strong adoption across teams
Who This Is For:
- 5-9 years of experience in People/HR roles with end-to-end ownership of the function (not limited to a single specialization)
- Strong experience in early-stage or scaling startups (0 - 10 / 1 - 50 journeys)
- Demonstrated ability to operate at both strategic and execution layers
- Experience working closely with founders and influencing org-level decisions
- Clear point of view on culture, performance, and organizational effectiveness
- Ability to bring structure without slowing down pace
Background We Value:
- Tier 1 academic background (XLRI, TISS, etc)
- Experience in high-growth, high-performance environments
- Prior experience building people systems and frameworks from first principles
Why This Role:
- Shape the people strategy at a foundational stage of the company
- Direct access to founders and influence on key business decisions
- Opportunity to build and embed culture, not inherit it
- High ownership with meaningful impact on company trajectory
