HR Manager — People & Systems Full Time

We are looking for an experienced HR Manager to lead our people function. This is a foundational role — you will be establishing and scaling HR practices across our 150-person team, working directly with the Owner to align people strategy with business growth. The right candidate will be equally comfortable designing systems and working on the ground with a diverse, long-tenured workforce.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Design and implement organisational structure, role definitions, and reporting hierarchy

• Develop and roll out a performance management system — KPIs, appraisal cycles, and feedback frameworks

• Own end-to-end recruitment across all functions, including blue-collar and white-collar hiring

• Manage payroll processing and ensure statutory compliance — PF, ESI, gratuity, Shops & Establishment Act

• Build and maintain HR policies, onboarding processes, and employee documentation

• Drive a culture of accountability, recognition, and internal communication across the organisation

• Partner with department heads to identify capability gaps and support team development

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• 6–10 years of HR experience, proven ability to design HR systems and processes, not just administer them

• Strong interpersonal skills – ability to build trust with a workforce that spans multiple functions and tenures

• Hands-on approach; comfortable being the primary HR resource while building the function

• Experience managing blue-collar and white-collar employee populations

• Familiarity with pharma, distribution, logistics, or manufacturing environments is an advantage
