Sr HR Executive

Futuristic Labs is exactly what it sounds like—a place to dream and build futuristic products. We're a research and product development studio building innovative consumer tech that transforms everyday living—starting with your kitchen.

We’re launching next-gen products like Riku, Semi, and Klynk—pushing the boundaries of kitchen automation in India and beyond. If you thrive in ambiguity, love solving people puzzles, and want to shape the team behind revolutionary products—this is your opportunity.

Role Overview

As our Senior HR Executive, you’ll be the go-to owner for all things People—from recruitment and onboarding to culture and compliance. You’ll work closely with the founding team and have end-to-end visibility across the organization.

This is not a back-office role. You’ll be directly responsible for shaping the employee experience, driving hiring operations, and ensuring Futuristic Labs remains a high-clarity, high-execution environment.

• Ensure adherence to labor regulations and internal processes.
  
• Streamline operational workflows to reduce friction.
  

• Lead team bonding activities, culture rituals, and engagement check-ins.
  
• Be a safe and proactive listener for team concerns.
  
• Uphold our culture of ownership, execution speed, and radical candor.

• Recommend learning and development ideas aligned to business needs.

Requirements

• 4–6 years of HR experience, preferably in fast-paced startups or tech environments.
  
• Comfortable managing both recruitment and HR ops independently.
  
• Clear communicator with strong follow-through and organizational skills.

• Familiarity with HRMS and ATS tools.
  
• Experience running offsites, engagement surveys, or internal comms.
  
• Interest in using data to track engagement and HR health metrics.

Benefits

• Work closely with founders: Make decisions that matter.
  
• Grow quickly: Solve complex, cross-functional challenges in real time.
  
• Make real impact: Your work will directly affect how our team works, grows, and thrives.
