People Experience & Organizational Catalyst

About us : Gnothi Seauton is a multi-disciplinary, independently-owned integrated communications lab. We are a young and growing agency, headquartered in Delhi, with team members working across Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. We are focused on purposeful storytelling through a systems thinking approach. Our work spans brand marketing, media relations, digital communications, advocacy, and community engagement.

Role Description : We are looking for a People Experience & Organizational Catalyst — someone who goes beyond traditional HR and brings heart, curiosity, and bold thinking to the way people feel, grow, and build their careers with us.

As we scale and launch two new verticals — including a global function — we need a person who can read people deeply, experiment with new approaches, and influence how we build a future-ready organisation. This is a role for someone who loves people, is compassionate yet courageous, and thrives in a high-pace, high-ownership environment.

Key Responsibilities : 1. Talent Scouting & Acquisition Lead non-traditional, creative talent scouting for brand, communication, creative, and strategy roles.

Build a talent pipeline using unconventional platforms, communities, and networks.

Design memorable candidate experiences reflecting our culture of passion and risk-taking.

2. Employee Connect & Culture Building Own the pulse of the organisation — across geographies and teams.

Create genuine, personalised employee touchpoints and interactions.

Build conversations and rituals that strengthen belonging, transparency, and trust.

Champion a culture where pace, passion, experimentation, and compassion coexist.

3. Employee Development & Growth Work with leadership to design role-specific, person-specific development paths.

Drive learning experiences tailored to each individual — no one-size-fits-all.

Identify high-potential talent early and create opportunities for them to thrive.

4. Organisational Development & Scaling Support Support structural evolution as new global and local verticals roll out.

Co-create policies, systems, and frameworks that scale with the organisation without diluting its spirit.

Build feedback loops to understand what’s working and what needs reimagining.

Partner with founders and team leads to drive organisational health, engagement, and performance.

Who You Are Someone warm, insightful, and deeply people-oriented .

A blend of compassion + empathy + courage .

A believer in experimentation, design thinking, and non-linear solutions.

Able to meet each individual where they are — and design approaches accordingly.

Comfortable in fast-moving, entrepreneurial setups.

A connector who can bring people together across geographies and cultures.

Someone who can sense patterns, foresee challenges, and take proactive action.

You value passion, ownership, and risk-taking, and can inspire the same in others.

Skills & Experience 3 - 5 years of experience in HR / People Experience / Talent roles (open to creative backgrounds with strong people instincts).

Experience working in startups, communication, media, design, or consultancy environments is a plus.

Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with high emotional intelligence.

Experience working with distributed teams (remote or hybrid) preferred.

Ability to influence without authority and work closely with founders and leadership.

Why This Role is Special You shape the soul of the organisation as it enters its next phase of growth.

You get to build people systems from scratch — not maintain legacy ones.

You influence how 45–50 people work, feel, and grow every day.

You work in a culture that celebrates curiosity, courage, and creative risk-taking.

You get to redefine HR as People Experience for a brand-forward organisation.

At Gnothi Seauton, there is no such thing as an “ideal candidate.” We believe in the power of teamwork—and in learning something new every day. We hire people, not just skills.

Diversity and inclusion are in our DNA. We embrace individuality and value all perspectives. Respect, trust, and creative collaboration guide how we work together.

We understand that life exists beyond work. We support holistic wellbeing and help our people thrive—personally and professionally.

If this sounds like a place where you can grow and make an impact, we’d love to hear from you. Whatever background you come from, we welcome your unique perspective. Let’s create something extraordinary together!
