Job Description

People & Culture Science Specialist


Location

: Chennai, Work from Office

Team:

People & Culture

About the Role

We re not building an HR team. We re engineering a people function that scales with the business.
As a People & Culture Science Specialist, your mission is to bring structure to the chaos - using data, psychology, and systems. You ll own the tools, track the truths, and turn culture into a measurable advantage. Think: part behavioral scientist, part system designer, part culture whisperer.

What You ll Own


People Analytics & Culture Intelligence


  • Create dashboards that go beyond attrition and headcount - spotlight patterns in engagement, growth, retention, and performance.
  • Slice and dice HR data to answer complex questions: Who s burning outWho s stuckWhat s working where
  • Run quarterly pulse surveys, deep-dives, and feedback cycles - and turn results into action plans.

Keka HR Systems Ownership


  • Set up, customize, and operationalize Keka HR across the employee lifecycle: onboarding, time off, attendance, performance, and exits.
  • Build workflows, triggers, and automation that remove manual pain and boost HR SLA compliance.
  • Own data hygiene, audit readiness, and adoption - if it s on Keka, it works.

Lifecycle Design & Process Science


  • Map, streamline, and continuously improve every stage of the employee lifecycle:
  • Hiring Onboarding Development Recognition Exit
  • Bring science to moments that matter: feedback loops, manager nudges, career movement, offboarding insights.
  • A/B test what drives real culture lift - not just vanity metrics.

Org Development & Behavioral Experiments


  • Partner with L&D, Design, and Ops to run org-level interventions.
  • Apply behavioral nudges to drive manager enablement, peer feedback, and culture rituals.
  • Predict risk. Prototype change. Prove what works.

What You ll Need

  • 4-6 years in People Analytics, Org Development, or HR Systems.
  • Prior hands-on experience with Keka HR or similar HRIS (Darwinbox, Zoho People, etc. )
  • Strong command of Excel, Power BI/Tableau, and survey tools like CultureAmp, Lattice, or Google Forms.
  • Experience creating people dashboards, setting up lifecycle workflows, and running pulse surveys.
  • A mindset that mixes curiosity, experimentation, systems thinking, and storytelling.

You ll Fit If You

  • Can walk into a messy HR backend and walk out with a system.
  • Believe every touchpoint with an employee is either a friction or a flywheel.
  • Want to run HR like Product: with sprints, hypotheses, and feedback loops.
  • Obsess over data accuracy and workflow logic as much as you care about engagement.
  • Can balance precision with empathy, and strategy with execution.


Why This Role Matters

Culture isn t what we say. It s what our systems allow, enable, and reinforce. You ll be the architect of those systems - with the heart of a builder and the brain of a scientist.
