People Operations Executive

Mumbai - Hybrid

We’re looking for a HR Operations professional who lives and breathes systems, data, and clean processes. This role sits at the intersection of People Ops, HR tech, and execution and is critical to keeping our HR engine running smoothly as we scale.

You’ll own our people systems end-to-end, ensure data integrity across the employee lifecycle, and continuously improve HR processes so the People team and the business can move faster—with confidence.

If you enjoy bringing structure to chaos, simplifying complex workflows, and being the “go-to” person for HR systems and data, this role is for you.

• Be the primary owner of HR systems including HRIS, ATS, engagement tools, and related platforms

• Manage end-to-end data administration, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and reliability across systems

• Act as the point person for system configuration, updates, audits, and data clean-ups

• Build and maintain reports, dashboards, and trackers to support People and business decisions

• Own execution of day-to-day HR operations across onboarding, offboarding, employee changes, and lifecycle events

• Ensure all HR processes are documented, followed, and continuously improved

• Identify gaps in current workflows and proactively streamline or automate processes

• Partner with payroll, finance, and HRBPs to ensure smooth operational execution

• Lead and support HR Ops initiatives such as:

  • HRIS and ATS optimization

  • Data hygiene and compliance audits

  • SOP creation, documentation, and version control

  • Training and enablement for HR tools and processes

• Support implementation or enhancement of new HR tools as we scale

• Work closely with HRBPs, Talent Acquisition, Finance, and other stakeholders

• Translate operational and system complexities into simple, usable processes

• Be a trusted partner for stakeholders on HR operations, systems, and data-related queries

• HR systems are clean, reliable, and well-owned

• Data is audit-ready and trusted by stakeholders

• HR operations run smoothly with minimal escalations

• Teams know where to go for HR ops support—and trust the answers they get

• Processes scale without breaking as the company grows

• Managing multiple systems and stakeholders in a fast-moving environment

• Balancing flawless execution with continuous improvement

• Building structure without slowing the business down

• 3–5 years of experience in HR Operations / People Operations

• Hands-on experience in startups or high-growth scale-ups

• Strong Excel skills (non-negotiable) – reporting, audits, reconciliations

• Hands-on experience managing HRIS and ATS platforms

• Solid understanding of HR operational processes and employee lifecycle management

• Exposure to ESOPs / equity administration

• Experience with compensation cycles and payroll coordination

• Basic compliance and statutory knowledge

• Visa and immigration process exposure

• Prior experience working closely with HRBPs

• Clear, confident written and verbal communication

• Strong stakeholder management and follow-through

• High ownership, attention to detail, and problem-solving mindset

• Comfortable working in ambiguity and building structure from scratch

• You’ll own HR operations and systems, not just execute tasks

• Real opportunity to shape processes as the company scales

• High trust, low bureaucracy, and room to experiment

• Work closely with a People team that values clean data and smart execution
