Job description

Who we are :

Teesta Investment is a proprietary high-frequency trading (HFT) and market-making firm in digital assets, built on speed, precision, patience and automation. We design automated systems that trade 24×7 across global crypto markets, bringing liquidity and efficiency wherever we operate. Born in India, we’ve grown into a global force by blending technology, quantitative research, and deep market intuition. At Teesta, curiosity meets discipline — and every idea is built, tested, and scaled at lightning speed. We're looking for someone who can help us build the next 5 years of greatest asset of our org - people.

Role : Head of HR & Admin — Partner to the Founder

We’re looking for someone who can own our people function — not just “manage HR.”

Someone who understands that in a fast-moving trading and technology company, people, systems, and trust move faster than speed of thought (literally).

I’m the founder, and I’m looking for a partner. You’ll help me shape how the company feels, hires, and scales.

What this role is really about

  • You’ll take full ownership of HR, culture, and admin operations — everything from hiring to onboarding, from policies to people growth.
  • You’ll build culture with intention — design experiences, rituals, and systems that make people proud to be here.
  • You’ll recruit intelligently — understanding not just resumes but fit, curiosity, and character.
  • You’ll keep the ship organized — contracts, compliances, travel, offices, assets, events, everything that lets the rest of the team move fast.
  • You’ll be a sounding board — helping build a transparent and thoughtful workplace as we grow across India and globally.
  • You’ll spot patterns — who’s performing, who’s drifting, where burnout or misalignment might happen — and act early.
  • You'll build people intelligence.

You’ll thrive here if you :

  • Like building from scratch , and have high visibility and ownership.
  • Believe culture is a competitive advantage , not a side project.
  • Enjoy working directly with the founder , for lightning speed problem solving and idea exchanges in realtime.
  • Are a self-starter — you don’t wait for “approval” to make something better.
  • Balance people empathy with business logic — you can think about both fairness and performance.
  • Can handle both startup chaos and structured scaling .
  • What you’ll touch day-to-day

  • Hiring and onboarding across trading, tech, data, research, and support teams.
  • Performance tracking and people development frameworks.
  • HRIS / payroll coordination, leave management, and benefits.
  • Office operations, vendor management, and travel admin.
  • Team communications, celebrations, and internal branding.
  • Partnering on compliance, contracts, and employee documentation.
  • The kind of background that helps

  • 5–10 years in HR or people operations, preferably with exposure to tech, trading, fintech, or startups and comes from a strong education background.
  • Comfort with fast-moving, analytical teams.
  • Excellent written and spoken communication.
  • Comfort using modern tools (Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, HRIS, ATS, etc.).
  • Perks offered :

  • Access to In house snack bar and drinks
  • Fitness club / Gym memberships
  • Sponsorship for higher education / academic endeavours
  • Relocation benefits
  • Health Insurance for candidate and their dependents
  • Create a job alert for this search
