As a Senior Generalist, you will play a critical role in ensuring seamless operations, driving core people practices, and enabling a high-quality employee experience for our India team.

Benefits and Wellness

This is a fluid generalist role, and while responsibilities are broad, they will also evolve based on the needs of the business. You will be expected to step in and provide hands-on support for any emerging on-ground requirements, even if they fall outside of traditional HR responsibilities.

Why This Matters

This role sits at the heart of our India operations and is instrumental in shaping the day-to-day experience of our team members.

Whether it's navigating tricky vendor negotiations, executing on-ground changes to office infrastructure, or driving performance management rituals, this role requires someone who can stay organized, responsive, and effective amidst moving parts. Grit, discretion, and a bias for action are key to success here.
