THE MANDATE:

Astro Arun Pandit is scaling fast across astrology, content, and digital commerce. We need an HR leader who doesnt just manage people processes but builds the engine that makes a high-performance organization possible. This is a founder-facing, execution-heavy role for someone who thinks in systems, moves with urgency, and holds the bar high.

Your mandate: Build a high-performance culture. Run a flawless HR operation. Create a hiring engine that delivers speed and quality. Bring structure, accountability, and discipline to every team.

WHAT YOULL OWN:

HR Operations & Process Control:

- Own end-to-end HR operations attendance, payroll, compliance, documentation with zero-error standards

- Build and enforce SOPs, reporting structures, and dashboards that give leadership full visibility

- Bring discipline and predictability to every HR process so nothing falls through the cracks

Hiring Engine & Talent Quality:

- Build a hiring machine that delivers the right people, fast without compromising on quality

- Design structured funnels, scorecards, and interview frameworks that remove subjectivity

- Ensure every hire is a strategic bet aligned with business growth targets, not just a seat filled

Performance Culture & Accountability:

- Implement KPI / KRA-driven performance systems that make expectations and outcomes transparent

- Drive a culture where ownership is the norm, not the exception and underperformance is addressed fast

- Partner with leadership to keep teams aligned, productive, and operating at full capacity

Employee Lifecycle & Retention:

- Standardize onboarding, induction, and exit processes so the employee experience is consistent and strong

- Build engagement systems that improve clarity, belonging, and long-term retention

- Replace ad-hoc, reactive people processes with structured, scalable frameworks

HR Team Excellence:

- Lead the HR team with clear targets, defined ownership, and high execution standards

- Upgrade capability, speed, and accountability within the team lead by example

WHO YOU ARE:

- 6 to 10+ years in HR, ideally in high-growth, startup, or fast-scaling environments

- Equally strong in strategy and ground-level execution you plan it, then you ship it

- Deep hands-on experience across HR ops, hiring, and performance management

- You build systems and processes, not personal dependencies

- Comfortable working directly with founders fast-moving, low-ego, high-output

SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE FIRST 6 MONTHS:

1 Hiring speed up, quality up measurable improvement in TAT and candidate fitment

2 HR operations running clean near-zero errors, full compliance, nothing slipping

3 Performance systems live KPIs tracked, reviews structured, gaps surfaced early

4 SOPs documented and enforced every core HR process is repeatable and auditable

5 Team productivity visibly improved accountability is felt, not just talked about

6 HR team operating as a high-efficiency unit no bottlenecks, no excuses

THE KIND OF PERSON WHO THRIVES HERE:

- Owns everything. Doesnt wait for instructions. Sees a gap, fills it.

- Executes, not theorizes. Brings results, not slide decks.

- Thinks in systems. Builds processes that work without them in the room.

- Handles pressure. Stays sharp when things move fast and stakes are high.

- Communicates with clarity. Decisive, direct, and transparent no ambiguity.

WHY THIS ROLE:

This is not a support function. This is a leadership role at the core of how the company scales. Youll work directly with the founder, shape the culture, build the systems, and ensure that as Astro Arun Pandit grows the people, performance, and processes grow with it. If you thrive on building, executing, and driving real impact this is your role.
