Remote, India Chess Gaja Full time ₹ 1,60,000 - ₹ 1,92,000 per year

Job Title: HR Associate

Location: Remote (Preference for Madurai area)

Company: Chess Gaja – Global Online Chess Academy

Who We Are:

Chess Gaja is a growing chess education startup founded by GrandMaster Priyadharshan Kannappan. We're a small, passionate team of 7 working remotely, driven by urgency and a hunger to make a difference. If you thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments, this is your spot.

What This Role Is:

This is not your typical 9-to-6 desk job. We need someone self-motivated, accountable, and ready to manage HR operations independently. You'll be comfortable navigating ambiguity and use AI tools to make your work smarter and faster.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Track and maintain accurate employee login/logout and leave records
  • Calculate monthly salary payments for staff and coaches reliably
  • Drive recruitment: hire 1-2 team members each quarter, plus 5 coaches every month
  • Enforce and improve SOP compliance consistently
  • Support general HR admin and team coordination as needed

Who You Are:

  • Enthusiastic about leveraging AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) to enhance productivity
  • Hungry to learn, grow, and take on increasing responsibility in HR and operations
  • A self-starter who doesn't wait for directions, with strong organizational skills
  • Comfortable working remotely full-time with autonomy and accountability
  • Excited to be part of a startup where challenges come with growth opportunities

What You Bring:

  • Relevant education background or a strong willingness to learn (freshers welcome)
  • Basic computer skills (Excel, Google Sheets, HR software basics) and eagerness to master tools
  • Problem-solving mindset and clear communication skills

Why Join Us:

  • Real responsibilities and ownership from day one
  • Opportunity to shape and grow Chess Gaja's HR processes
  • Flexible remote work with preference for candidates near Madurai
  • A driven team passionate about chess, education, and technology

Work Schedule:

  • Full-time, 6 days a week
  • Work hours: 9 AM to 6 PM IST (Monday to Saturday; Sunday off)

Important:

If you prefer routine, predictable roles without growth or challenge, this won't be the right fit. We need people who thrive on responsibility, rapid learning, and making an impact.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: ₹16, ₹18,000.00 per month

Benefits:

  • Leave encashment
  • Work from home

Application Question(s):

  • Can you bring your own device? (Laptop and Mobile Phone)
  • Do you have or have the ability to get Internet connection with an upload and download speed above 50Mbps?
  • Give an example of when you faced obstacles while working on something important. How did you keep pushing forward and take responsibility to get it done? Be detailed and specific
  • Learning and adapting quickly are crucial in a startup. Tell us about a new skill or knowledge area you taught yourself recently. How did you go about it?
