Sr. HR Business Partner

Life at Plume

At Plume, we believe that technology isn't about moving faster, it's about making life's moments better. Which is why we've built the world's first, and only, open and hardware-independent service delivery platform for smart homes, small businesses, enterprises, and beyond. Our SaaS platform uses WiFi, advanced AI, and machine learning to create the future of connected spaces—and human experiences—at massive scale.

We now deliver services to over 60 million locations globally and have managed over 3 billion devices on our platform. We're expanding rapidly, pioneering a new category, and we achieved our Series F funding in just four years. Our customers include many of the world's largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who look to Plume to help them evolve their smart home offerings while gleaning insights from their own data.

With a bias for action and a love for being trailblazers, the team at Plume embodies a combination of relentless curiosity and imaginative innovation. We challenge ourselves to think in ways that other companies don't, work to do what should be done (rather than what can), and if we can't do it exceptionally well, we don't do it. It's how we've assembled a team of world-class builders, thinkers, and doers. And it's how we're reinventing what's possible every day.

We are seeking a hands-on, strategic Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) to support and scale our growing team in Hyderabad. Acting as the primary HR point of contact for our India-based employees, you will partner closely with business leaders and the global People team to ensure a consistent, high-quality employee experience.

This role blends operational HR expertise with strategic partnership—helping shape Plume's people strategy locally while driving the programs, processes, and culture that empower our teams to perform their best.

What You'll Do

• Serve as the HR lead for Plume's Hyderabad site, partnering closely with global HR, Finance, and business leaders.
• Provide full-spectrum HR support across employee relations, performance management, engagement, and development.
• Build trusted relationships with managers to advise on organizational design, workforce planning, and talent management.
• Lead HR operations for India—including onboarding, compliance, benefits coordination, and local labor law adherence.
• Partner with global COEs (Total Rewards, Talent Acquisition, HR Operations, and Learning) to align programs with Plume's overall people strategy.
• Support employee engagement initiatives, cultural programs, and well-being activities to strengthen Plume's values and team cohesion.
• Coach managers and employees through change, performance discussions, and career development.
• Use data to identify trends, diagnose issues, and recommend actions that enhance productivity and retention.
• Partner with Talent Acquisition to support local hiring efforts and ensure a seamless candidate-to-employee transition experience.

About Plume

As the creator of the only open, hardware-independent, cloud-controlled experience platform for ISPs and their subscribers, Plume partners with over 400 ISP customers, including some of the world's largest such as Comcast, Charter, Liberty Global, and J : COM.

Using OpenSync, the most widely supported open-source, silicon-to-cloud framework for smart spaces, Plume's software-defined network allows ISPs to decouple their service offerings from hardware and rapidly curate and deliver new services over a multi-vendor, open-platform architecture.
