About the role

"Train people well enough so they can leave. Treat them well enough so they don’t want to." – Sir Richard Branson summed it up well.

At BiteSpeed, we're obsessed with talent density . This role is about helping our team grow into the best versions of themselves, while being the go-to support system for the entire company.

We don’t see HR as just a value-protection function. We’re designing it to be a value-creating one—deeply involved in helping our people do the best work of their lives .

Tl;dr being an invisible support layer for the entire company as we scale from 60 to 100 people within a year, doing everything we can to help people reach their potential.

Managing onboarding for new team members, everything it takes to make the new folks comfortable & kicked to get started from paperwork to onboarding checklists & even sending some cool BiteSpeed swag to welcome them.

Managing employee data & compliances for things like health insurances, salary slips so they don't have to worry about this.

Assisting in payroll management & reimbursements , basically getting everyone paid on time (we tried the work for free model & didn’t quite work out).

Overseeing all people operations - from picking the right gifts on occasions for the team to planning our quarterly off-sites & even managing our inventory(read : Macbooks).

Regular one-on-ones with the team to understand how they’re doing personally & professionally, enabling them to become successful by teaming up with peers & managers.
