About Company

This fast-growing, AI-led venture is transforming how modern teams operate by developing intelligent productivity and collaboration solutions—particularly for fast-paced, go-to-market environments. With strong early traction and growing revenues, the company has attracted investments across angel, seed, and most recently, Seed Plus funding rounds from globally renowned investors who share its bold vision. Its mission is rooted in applying Nudge Theory—a behavioral economics concept—to drive smarter sales behavior. By surfacing timely, actionable insights from sales playbooks and customer data, the platform enables better decision-making, sharper prioritization, and more personalized outreach. This leads to improved performance and stronger customer engagement. Currently in its growth phase, the company is assembling a high-performance team to scale its impact further.


Position Overview

We’re hiring a People & Culture Lead to join the founding team of a fast-growing, AI-native startup. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role designed for someone who’s ready to go beyond traditional HR and help build the People function as a strategic growth engine.

You’ll partner directly with the founders to design and implement end-to-end people systems—owning everything from hiring and onboarding to performance management, career paths, and culture-building. As we scale from a 25-member team to 50+ and beyond, you’ll lay the foundation for scalable people operations while maintaining the speed, clarity, and trust that early-stage teams thrive on.


This isn’t a legacy HR setup—there are no outdated processes to maintain. You’ll have a blank canvas to architect the kind of culture and systems you believe enable high-performing, mission-driven teams. If you're someone who blends empathy with execution, has a builder’s mindset, and thrives in high-trust environments where people actually care about people—you’ll feel right at home here.


Key Responsibilities

  • End-to-end hiring

    : Close top talent (ICs and managers) within 30 days; build strong pipelines proactively.
  • Onboarding with intent

    : Design milestone-based onboarding (1 week, 1 month, 3 months) with feedback at every stage.
  • Early performance clarity

    : Identify mismatches within 1–3 months and take timely action.
  • Career frameworks

    : Create and track clear growth ladders; mentor managers to support them.
  • Culture-first org building

    : Foster a collaborative, transparent, and fast-moving culture.
  • People operations

    : Drive offers, payroll, HRMS (Zoho), policies, compliance, and smooth processes.
  • Strategic people planning

    : Partner on org design, ESOP benchmarks, global hiring strategy, and long-term scaling.


Required Skills

  • Bring

    3–7 years

    of experience in People Ops, HR, or generalist roles—especially in

    high-growth startups

    . Strong sense of

    influencing culture and values

    at the foundational stage.
  • Have a

    builder mindset

    —you don’t just run processes; you design them to scale.
  • Balance

    empathy and execution

    —you care deeply about people, but don’t shy away from tough decisions. Not just an executor of legacy HR policies, but someone who creates scalable, first-principle solutions.
  • You are

    highly structured

    ,

    detail-oriented

    , and

    process-driven

    .
  • Communicate clearly, coach managers, and run high-clarity meetings.
  • Bonus if you’ve used

    OKR frameworks

    ,

    Zoho Books

    , or

    HR/payroll tools

    .
  • Most importantly, you’re excited to build

    a high-trust

    ,

    high-velocity team from the ground up

    .
  • A self-starter who operates with ownership and doesn’t need micro-management or layers of approval.
  • Comfortable using

    AI tools and crafting prompts

    to automate repetitive tasks, gather insights, or experiment with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Notion AI, etc.


Why Join Us?

  • Early-stage leadership

    : You’ll own the People function at a critical stage—no legacy baggage, just a clear path to design and scale systems that work.
  • Seat at the Table:

    Work directly with founders who value People Ops as a strategic lever, not paperwork. You’ll influence real decisions, not just execution.
  • High-Trust, High-Velocity Culture:

    Join a team that moves fast without ego—where ownership, speed, and candour are core to how we operate.
  • Career Growth:

    As we scale rapidly, you’ll have the opportunity to grow into a leadership role and build out your team and vision.


What We Offer:

  • ₹15–20L base, with growth and leadership tracks ahead.
  • Hybrid in Gurugram: 2–3 days/week in office for deep real‑time collaboration.
  • Direct mentorship from a founder with a $100M exit and coaching experience.
