Company snapshot

A global enterprise software company operating in fraud prevention and authentication for banking and payments. Profitable, well-backed, and investing heavily in product innovation and growth. International footprint, remote-first ways of working, and a leadership team that expects high standards and clear execution.

Why this role exists

India is the fastest-growing region and the current HR setup is not scaling with hiring volume and leadership needs.

The business needs a more senior HRBP who can influence engineering leaders, bring structure to recruitment and talent practices, and improve consistency across the employee lifecycle.

This is a newly created role, designed to add strategic depth and day to day execution power in-region.

About the role

You will be the senior HR partner for India, supporting circa 120 FTEs today and growing, largely across technology and product innovation teams.

You will lead end-to-end HR delivery, while also building leadership capability, improving hiring discipline, and strengthening the employee experience.

You will manage and develop a regional HR Generalist/Recruiter, and partner closely with global HR leadership.

Key responsibilities

• Partner with India and global leaders on org design, workforce planning, leadership coaching, and talent strategy
• Drive performance management, talent reviews, development planning, and succession conversations

• Coach leaders on effective people management, feedback, and decision-making
• Improve HR operations in-region, including data accuracy, policy application, and programme delivery

• Solid grounding in India employment law and hands-on employee relations
• Comfortable operating in a global environment, communicating clearly with international stakeholders

Location and working style

• Regional travel expected, details to be confirmed during process

Why join

• High impact seat, owning the people agenda for the company's fastest-growing region
