Role Overview:

The Lead HR is a people-manager role responsible for anchoring company'e end-to-end people agenda. This role acts as the primary architect and executor of scalable HR systems, culture, and capability across a high-growth manufacturing environment.

• Oversee full-cycle hiring quality and turnaround time; hold the People Partners accountable to hiring SLAs and quality metrics.
• Lead capability gap analysis across functions and drive targeted L&D interventions in partnership with external providers and internal SMEs.
• Build a leadership pipeline through structured development programmes and succession planning.
• Own the employee experience lifecycle — from onboarding to exit — ensuring every touchpoint reflects company’s values of safety, excellence, and ownership.
• Ensure robust governance of all HR processes — payroll, HRIS, benefits, statutory compliances, and labour law adherence — with zero critical lapses.
• Own the People dashboard presented to the CPO and leadership team; define key metrics, build narratives, and drive data-led decisions.
• Lead the digitisation of People processes and drive adoption of HRIS/HRMS tools across the organisation.
• Lead the people dimension of organisational change — restructures, new site ramp-ups, policy transitions, and digital HR adoption programmes.

Requirements

• Strong command of Indian Labour Law and statutory compliance
• Proficiency in HRIS/HRMS platforms and HR analytics tools
• Working knowledge of OD frameworks, competency modelling, and L&D design
