We are seeking an experienced professional to lead our Human Resources function, enhance and evolve our organisational culture, and amplify our growth trajectory. This role is an incredible opportunity to build upon our existing HR systems, refine our practices, and elevate our strategic capabilities, directly contributing to our growth and impact.
The HR Head will be responsible for crafting and leading HR strategy, partnering with our leadership team to design and execute an HR strategy aligned with organisational priorities. They will also be responsible for attracting and retaining top talent, building a thriving workplace culture, developing and scaling learning & development initiatives, enhancing performance management, boosting employee engagement and well-being, driving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and streamlining HR operations and compliance.
Key Responsibilities:
• Craft and lead HR strategy: Partner with our leadership team to design and execute an HR strategy aligned with organisational priorities.
• Attract and retain top talent: Drive end-to-end recruitment, talent acquisition, and management processes to position us as a premier employer while building a strong, dynamic team.
• Build a thriving workplace culture: Champion our core values to foster a collaborative, engaging, and productive work environment that inspires team members at all levels.
• Develop and scale learning & development initiatives: Establish impactful training, coaching, and development programs that enhance skills, performance, and growth opportunities across the organisation.
• Enhance performance management: Build and refine frameworks that drive high performance, support career development, and align team goals with organisational objectives.
• Boost employee engagement and well-being: Promote mental health, work-life balance, and team satisfaction through tailored initiatives and regular feedback mechanisms.
• Drive diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI): Support DEI efforts to create an inclusive and diverse workplace where every team member feels valued and empowered to thrive.
• Streamline HR operations and compliance: Oversee all HR processes, ensuring smooth operations, legal compliance, and the adoption of best practices in HR management.
Requirements
We seek talented professionals passionate about driving educational transformation and making a positive impact. We are looking for individuals who possess the following qualifications and meet the role requirements:
• Educational Background: Master's degree in business administration, Human Resources or related discipline.
• Work Experience: We value both professional and personal experience. Candidates with 10-15 years of Human Resources work experience in the development sector or otherwise. Proven track record of developing and implementing HR strategies. Strong leadership skills with the ability to act as both a strategic and operational leader.
• Other Skills: Excellent problem-solving skills and great at prioritising the most important tasks. Knowledge of MS Office and organisational software and tools, including MS Team, Outlook, OneDrive, etc.
• Attributes/Attitude: You thrive in extreme autonomy and in dynamic environments without hierarchy - that, at times, can feel like chaos. Building teams is more exciting to you than being an individual hero. You are excited to roll up your sleeves and get into the weeds with the team, helping solve problems instead of only giving strategic direction.
• Language Proficiency: English and Hindi
