- Lead, coach, and develop managers and operational teams to build a high-performance culture.

- Own operational KPIs, workforce planning, budgets, profitability, and continuous improvement initiatives.

- Partner with Sales and Solutions teams during new client transitions and business expansion opportunities.

- Build scalable operating models capable of supporting rapid organizational growth.

- Ensure strong governance, risk management, and compliance across all operations.

What We're Looking For:

- 16 - 20 years of experience in HR Shared Services operations.

- Proven experience managing HR Shared Services or employee lifecycle processes for global external clients.

- Proven experience in Managing P&L.

- Demonstrated leadership of teams of 75 - 300+ employees through multiple levels of management.

- Strong understanding of operational metrics, workforce management, client governance, and process improvement.

- Experience leading automation, AI, digital transformation, or RPA initiatives is highly desirable.

- Excellent leadership, stakeholder management, communication, and problem-solving skills.

- Bachelor's degree required; MBA or Lean Six Sigma certification is an advantage.

- This is a 5 day in office role at our Gurugram location.

Success in This Role:

You will be measured on:

- Client satisfaction and SLA achievement

- Automation and AI adoption

- Operational efficiency and productivity improvements

- Margin enhancement and cost optimization

- Employee engagement and talent development

- Business growth within existing accounts

Why Outscale?:

This is an opportunity to work directly with the CEO and help build the next generation of AI-enabled business operations. You'll have an active role to play in shaping strategy, influence technology adoption, develop future leaders, and make a measurable impact in a fast-growing global organization. If you're passionate about operational excellence, transformation, and building high-performing teams, we'd love to hear from you.
