Job Title: Asst. Manager - HR

Job Type: Full-Time | Location: Coimbatore

Experience Level: Associate (5-7 years)

Company Overview

Yavar is a data intelligence platform company offering industry-specific private AI applications. Our platforms help enterprises unlock intelligence using a powerful blend of agentic AI applications, deep-tech orchestration, and privacy-preserving infrastructure. We're building fast — and we need an HR leader with strong analytical skills who can scale talent, culture, and people systems with the same velocity and rigour.

Who Should Apply

You have 5–7 years of HR experience (talent acquisition + employee engagement focus). Preferably you hold an MBA (HR) or equivalent. You're technology driven, embrace data & tools, recruitment-hardened, and excited to run HR in a hustling startup: independent, creative, and energetic. If you are a fun loving person who bring work life balance to our people, obsess over experience and employee engagement metrics, and enjoy working with founders/leadership, this is for you.

Role Summary

As HR Manager at Yavar you will own end-to-end talent acquisition, employee engagement, and people analytics. You'll design and execute hiring strategies, build employer brand, run engagement and retention programs, and deliver actionable people insights to leadership. You will be a hands-on operator who partners with managers to hire, coach, and scale a high-performance culture.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead end-to-end talent acquisition: source, screen, interview, close; build pipelines for technical and non-technical roles.
- Own employer branding and recruitment marketing to attract passive talent.
- Design and run employee onboarding, engagement, and retention programs (pulse surveys, townhalls, recognition programs).
- Use people analytics to track hiring funnel KPIs, attrition, engagement scores, and workforce planning; present insights to leadership.
- Partner with managers on performance management, goal-setting, and career-pathing frameworks.
- Drive learning & development initiatives and succession planning.
- Ensure HR compliance, compensation administration, and policy documentation.
- Act as an employee champion — coach leaders, handle escalations sensitively, and maintain positive work culture.
- Run periodic audits, headcount forecasting and budget coordination with finance.

Must-Have Qualifications

- 5–7 years of progressive HR experience with demonstrable ownership of talent acquisition and employee engagement.
- MBA (HR) or equivalent strongly preferred.
- Track record of hiring technical roles (developers/engineers) and business functions.
- Strong analytical skills — comfortable with HR metrics, dashboards, and deriving actionable insights.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
- Good understanding of employment laws and compliance basics.

Key Attributes

- Independent operator — gets things done end-to-end with minimal supervision.
- Innovative, out-of-the-box thinker who experiments and iterates quickly.
- Vibrant, energetic, empathetic — builds rapport across levels.
- Data-driven and outcome oriented — measures impact and improves.
- Comfortable with dynamic workplace; thrives in a hustled startup environment.

Why Join Us?

- Help build the people function at a fast-scaling, deep-tech AI company.
- High impact role with visibility to leadership and direct influence on culture and growth.
- Work with passionate, talented teams and grow into strategic people-lead roles.
- Transparent, collaborative, and high-energy work environment.
