Head of People & Culture

About us:

Simora is building the creative operating system for the AI era — a platform where brands can strategize, script, and produce videos at the speed of ideas. We’re not replacing creativity — we’re amplifying it. Simora combines data, storytelling, and AI to help teams create high-performing video content without the chaos of manual coordination, slow turnarounds, or endless revisions.

Our goal is simple: make creative execution as fast and intelligent as thinking itself.

We already work with top brands — including publicly listed giants like Dabur and Philips, and leading startups such as IndiaMart, Seekho, Stage, and Neenams.

Now we’re building the dream team behind the dream.

What You’ll Do…

As the Founding Head of People & Culture, you’ll build the soul of Simora — the systems, values, and rituals that define how we attract, grow, and retain world-class talent.

You’ll:

• Design and implement Simora’s hiring architecture — from identifying top talent to building scalable recruiting systems.
• Build a culture that people brag about, rooted in trust, autonomy, and creativity.
• Partner directly with founders to define Simora’s org structure, compensation, performance systems, and growth paths.
• Own employee experience end-to-end — onboarding, development, recognition, and retention.
• Create policies and people processes that enable speed and innovation without killing startup agility.
• Launch creative talent branding and hiring campaigns that make Simora irresistible to top performers.
• Serve as the bridge between founders and team, ensuring communication flows, conflicts resolve, and ideas rise fast.
• Shape diversity, inclusion, and learning programs that make Simora future-ready.
• Bring in exceptional talent — from vetted creative pros (content strategists, video editors, storytellers) to top-tier tech minds (engineers, AI specialists, developers) who’ll build the future of AI-driven creativity.

You’re not just doing HR — you’re architecting how humans and AI can build together.

You Might Be a Fit If You’ve…

1. Built or scaled the People function 0→1 at a startup or fast-growing company.

2. Have end-to-end HR ownership experience — from hiring to culture design.

3. Think like a business partner, not a process enforcer.

4. Believe that culture > perks, and that systems should enable creativity, not control it.

5. Thrive in ambiguity — you move with clarity, care, and a builder’s mindset.

6. Are obsessed with helping people grow — both personally and professionally.

7. Love creating environments where people do their best work (and actually enjoy Mondays).

Preaks (Freakin’ Reasons Why It’s Cool to Work Here)

You’ll literally define the DNA of Simora. The systems you build today will shape how hundreds join tomorrow.

Your ideas won’t get “HR’d out.” We’re allergic to bureaucracy — we want creativity, not compliance.

We fund your growth. Courses, certifications, books, or mental wellness — we cover what helps you grow.

Real creative culture. Strategy sessions happen over chai, ideas over food crawls, and team syncs might turn into meme wars.

Access to the frontier. You’ll work alongside engineers and creatives building world-first AI workflows.

You’ll never be “just HR.” You’ll be the founder of how people feel about Simora.
