Job description

About the Role

We are looking for a strategic, execution-driven, culture-first Head of HR to build and scale the entire people function of 63SATS — India’s fastest-growing cybersecurity company.

This role requires someone who has set up HR from the ground up in a tech or cybersecurity startup, scaled teams from 0→1 and 1→100, and built a high-performance, ownership-driven culture.

The ideal candidate is a builder, not an administrator — someone who enjoys designing systems, processes, culture, and structures that enable an ambitious company to grow rapidly, globally, and compliantly.

Key Responsibilities

1. HR Strategy & Leadership

  • Build the People Strategy aligned with 63SATS’ business, revenue, and product goals.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO, COO, CTO, and leadership team.
  • Set up a high-performance organizational design for rapid scale (India + global markets).
  • Drive workforce forecasting, succession planning, and leadership development.

2. Culture Building & Org Health

  • Build and protect a culture of ownership, accountability, speed, and empathy.
  • Launch a Culture Operating System with rituals, communication norms, leadership behaviours, and feedback loops.
  • Drive 63SATS’ employer brand internally and externally.
  • 3. HR Policies & Governance

  • Create and institutionalize all HR policies end-to-end :
  • Hiring & onboarding
  • Leave & attendance
  • Payroll & compensation
  • Probation, confirmation & performance cycles
  • Exit & final settlement
  • Remote / hybrid working
  • Cybersecurity & compliance policies
  • Ensure complete compliance with labour laws, POSH, PF / ESI, Shops & Establishments Act, etc.
  • Implement risk-free contractual frameworks for an M&A-active, cybersecurity-focused enterprise.
  • 4. Talent Acquisition & Workforce Planning

  • Build a world-class hiring engine to support high-velocity recruitment across tech, cybersecurity, AI, engineering, sales, and operations.
  • Introduce competency mapping, hiring scorecards, and structured interviews.
  • Develop relationships with recruitment agencies, cybersecurity communities, and engineering colleges.
  • 5. Learning, Development & Capability Building

  • Create a complete L&D ecosystem for cybersecurity, AI, sales, and leadership teams.
  • Implement :
  • Skill matrices
  • Continuous learning journeys
  • Manager enablement
  • Leadership development programs
  • Partner with external trainers and certification bodies (e.G., CISSP, CEH, SOC Ops, AI Security frameworks).
  • 6. Performance Management & OKR Framework

  • Implement a company-wide KPIs / OKR system aligned to business outcomes.
  • Establish a transparent performance review and appraisal system.
  • Build a culture of continuous feedback and coaching.
  • 7. Compensation, Benefits & Rewards

  • Structure competitive compensation frameworks for a cybersecurity-first workforce.
  • Build :
  • Variable pay models
  • Sales incentives
  • Technical performance bonuses
  • Design and run the ESOP program strategically.
  • Benchmark compensation with cybersecurity and AI tech companies.
  • 8. HR Systems, Tools & Data

  • Implement and own all HR systems :
  • HRMS / HCM
  • Payroll
  • Attendance / leave
  • Performance systems
  • Recruitment ATS
  • Build HR dashboards and analytics for attrition, cost, productivity, skill levels, and org health.
  • 9. Employee Experience & Engagement

  • Create a frictionless employee lifecycle from interview to exit.
  • Design structured engagement initiatives, 1 : 1 frameworks, pulse surveys, and recognition programs.
  • Build a safe, compliant, high-trust environment, including overseeing POSH.
  • Required Experience & Background

    Must-Have

  • 10–15+ years of HR experience with at least 5+ years in a fast-scaling tech or cybersecurity startup.
  • Proven track record of setting up HR from scratch.
  • Experience scaling from 0→1→100+ employees.
  • Strong expertise in :
  • HR Policies
  • Compensation & payroll
  • Performance systems
  • L&D
  • Culture building
  • Talent acquisition strategy
  • HR tech tools
  • Compliance & labour laws
  • Exceptional communication and leadership skills.
  • Strong analytical and decision-making ability.
  • Good to Have

  • Experience in cybersecurity, AI, SaaS, or technology services.
  • Exposure to global HR standards (US, Middle East, APAC).
  • Experience in M&A-driven organisations (ideal for 63SATS’ Cloudwiz acquisition).
  • Prior experience reporting directly to founders or CEOs.
  • Key Personal Traits

  • Founder-mindset : ownership, speed, outcome-orientation.
  • High empathy with disciplined execution.
  • Strategic thinker with operational depth.
  • Ability to work in an environment of ambiguity and rapid change.
  • Comfortable with high expectations and a fast pace.
  • Why Join 63SATS?

  • Build the HR function for one of India’s most ambitious cybersecurity companies.
  • Work directly with top leadership in a hyper-growth, multi-business ecosystem.
  • Create culture, systems, and structures for a company that is shaping India’s digital security future.
