Build the People Engine Behind Zangoh’s Digital Employees

At Zangoh, we’re building the autonomous digital workforce—production‑grade Digital Employees that execute real work with guardrails, observability, and SLAs. As HR Executive, you’ll design and run the people systems that let a high‑bar product and engineering org recruit faster, onboard cleaner, stay compliant, and grow with clarity in a GenAI, tech‑driven startup.

About Zangoh

Founded by Shrey Sharma (IIT Kharagpur; ex‑Amazon, Pinterest, Yahoo), Zangoh blends bold vision with disciplined execution. We ship SLA‑backed Digital Employees with transparent metrics, cost/latency controls, and auditability—so enterprises adopt generative AI safely and at scale. We operate onsite in Indore for bandwidth, speed, and tighter decision loops.

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands‑on HR generalist (1.5–3 years) who can own full‑stack HR: recruitment, payroll administration, statutory compliance, HR operations, and employee engagement. You’ll partner closely with leadership to hire top tech talent, institutionalize clean processes, and shape culture in a fast‑moving environment.

Why this Role is Exciting

1. Founder proximity

   : Translate org needs into action alongside the Founder and leadership.

2. High leverage

   : Your systems directly influence hiring velocity, compliance health, and retention.

3. Full‑stack HR

   : Own TA, HR Ops, payroll & compliance, performance rituals, engagement, and analytics.

4. Startup pace

   : Low bureaucracy, high ownership—see your work ship in days, not quarters.

What You’ll Do

Talent Acquisition (Campus + Lateral)

1. End‑to‑end hiring: JD calibration, sourcing (LinkedIn/communities/referrals), screening, coordination, structured interviews, offers, and closures (incl. documentation & background checks).
2. Build pipelines for technical roles (engineering, product) and core business roles; drive top‑tier college programs and referral engines.
3. Maintain dashboards: time‑to‑fill, funnel health, offer‑to‑join, source mix.

HR Operations & Payroll

1. Run onboarding/offboarding, HRIS data integrity, letter management (offer/appointment/experience), and employee records.
2. Own payroll administration (inputs, validation, reconciliations), and coordinate with Finance for TDS, reimbursements, F&F.
3. Set up a compliance calendar and maintain documentation.

Compliance & Policy

1. Ensure adherence to Indian labor laws and statutory requirements: PF, ESI, PT, LWF, Gratuity, Shops & Establishments, PoSH coordination, and audits/inspections support.
2. Draft/refresh clear policies (leave/attendance, travel/expense, code of conduct) and communicate changes.

Performance, Engagement & Culture

1. Coordinate quarterly goals/OKRs cycles; track inputs, reviews, and follow‑ups with managers.
2. Run high‑signal engagement rituals (town halls, demos, learning circles, pulse checks/eNPS) and close the loop with visible actions.
3. Enable managers with toolkits for feedback, recognition, and growth.

People Analytics

1. Publish simple, decision‑ready HR dashboards: hiring velocity, offer health, attendance/leave trends, retention risk, compliance status, engagement signals.
