Head Of Talent Acquisition

About SOLARA

SOLARA is one of Indias fastest-growing D2C kitchen and home appliance brands. Were scaling fast, and the team needs to scale with the same bar for quality.

The role

Youll be our senior-most talent owner, reporting directly to the founders. This is a builder role: youll run searches end-to-end today, build the hiring engine (process, pipelines, employer brand) for the next 100 hires — and grow the talent function under you as we scale.

What youll do

• Own full-cycle hiring across the company: e-commerce business roles (marketplace/category managers, growth & performance marketing, supply chain, CX, finance) and technical roles (engineers, data, ERP/integrations)
• Partner with founders and function heads to define roles sharply — and push back when a role is badly scoped
• Build sourcing pipelines beyond job boards: referrals, communities, targeted outreach for niche skills (D2C growth, marketplace ops, ERP, data)
• Run a tight, respectful candidate process — fast turnarounds, structured interviews, honest closes
• Own offer negotiation, comp benchmarking inputs, and joining logistics with HR/ops
• Build our employer brand on LinkedIn and in the Hyderabad startup ecosystem
• Set up and maintain the ATS, hiring metrics (TAT, funnel conversion, quality-of-hire) and a monthly hiring review

What you bring

• 5–8 years in talent acquisition, with at least 3 in a D2C/e-commerce company or high-growth startup
• Demonstrated closes on e-commerce business talent (marketplace, growth, supply chain) and/or technical talent (engineering/data) — youll be asked for specific examples
• Comfort being the first dedicated talent leader: you source, screen, schedule, close, and improve the system as you go
• Strong written communication — your outreach messages get replies
• Data instinct: you track your funnel and know where it leaks

Nice to have

• Hiring for warehouse/operations roles at volume
• Exposure to ATS setup from scratch; comp benchmarking tools
• Hyderabad network across startups and e-commerce companies

Why join

• Founder-level ownership of a function that directly gates company growth
• A genuinely AI-forward workplace — youll use AI tooling for sourcing, screening notes and coordination, not fight for it
• Fast decisions: offer-to-close cycles in days, not weeks
