The Role

We don't believe P&C creates impact by starting with policies, processes, or frameworks, but by understanding the business and the people deeply enough to influence real decisions.  

In this role, you won't be expected to jump in and ‘fix’ things on day one. Instead, you'll be expected to listen, observe, learn, and build context - about the vision, business, the teams, and the individuals who make the work happen. 

What excites us is not how many P&C programmes you've run, but: 

How well you understand why businesses behave the way they do 

How you read people beyond what they say out loud 

How confidently you can translate that understanding into sound, practical people decisions 

This role is for someone who wants to earn trust before driving change, and who sees P&C not as a support function, but as a business-critical craft. 

How you’ll make an impact: 

Understanding Before Action 

Your first responsibility is context. 

You'll spend time understanding how the business operates, how value is created, where teams struggle, and what truly motivates people here. Only then will you begin shaping people practices. 

Being a Real Business Partner 

You'll work closely with business stakeholders - not as a support, but as a thinking partner. 

That means forming opinions, asking hard questions, and offering people-related advice that is grounded in business reality, not HR theory. 

Performance That Actually Means Something 

You'll own and evolve the performance management ecosystem - from goal setting to feedback to outcomes. 

Not as a ritual, but as a system that helps people grow, leaders lead better, and the business perform stronger. 

 Compensation, Rewards & Trade-offs 

You'll work on compensation philosophy, salary bands, and reward structures - understanding that these are not just numbers, but signals. 

You'll help business stakeholders navigate difficult trade-offs with fairness, clarity, and sound judgment. 

 Hiring with Judgment 

You'll be deeply involved in behavioural fitment interviews and hiring decisions. 

Your role is to look past polished answers and assess real capability, behaviour, and fit - ensuring the right people enter the system. 

Governance Without Bureaucracy 

You'll own P&C policies and compliance with a strong sense of responsibility, not rigidity. 

This role also comes with the opportunity to work across geographies. You’ll engage with people practices beyond India – particularly in the UK – and learn how people decisions change across legal, cultural, and operating contexts. 

 Insights, Not Just Data 

 You'll use people data to spot patterns - in attrition, engagement, performance, and growth - and turn those into insights leaders can act on. 

 Who you are:

You're seen as someone who understands both the business and have a pulse of people on ground 

Business members trust your judgment and seek your input on people decisions 

Your advice related to people feels intentional, not reactive 

You take ownership naturally - without needing reminders or guardrails 

You move fast when needed, and thoughtfully when it matters 

What we’re looking for: 

We're looking for someone who: 

Experience of 10-12 years and has worked closely with business stakeholders in fast-moving, evolving environments.

Is comfortable with ambiguity and incomplete information 

Thinks in systems but acts with pragmatism 

Has hands-on experience with performance management and compensation frameworks 

Uses data to inform judgement, not replace it 

Operates with a strong sense of ownership – ‘the buck stops here’ 

Is low on ego, high on accountability, and genuinely collaborative 

Exposure to UK P&C compliance and statutory requirements is a strong plus 

 This Role May Not Be Right for You If 

You prefer clearly defined tasks over open-ended responsibility 

You see P&C primarily as a support or service function 

You're uncomfortable challenging leaders or influencing tough decisions 

You're looking for a role where strategy and execution are neatly separated 

 What you'll love: 

Competitive compensation aligned to level and experience

Insurance and standard benefits 

One last thing (and this matters) 

This role will stretch you. 

It will ask you to think deeply, act decisively, and own outcomes - even when things are messy. 

If that excites you more than it scares you, this role is likely a good fit. 

Though we've a work in hybrid model, flexibility to come in more regularly is required (either due to change in Company Policy in few months or critical seasonal deliverables)

We are proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. We are committed to embracing diversity and inclusion in our hiring practices, and we promote a work environment where everyone, from any race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin, can do their best work.  

We are committed to providing an inclusive and accessible interview experience for all candidates. Please let us know if you require any accommodation during the interview process, and we will make every effort to meet your needs.
