- Strong comfort with data, analytics, and insight generation, with the ability to translate numbers into practical, business- led decisions.

- Experience supporting large, high- volume, and operationally complex workforces.

- Working knowledge of Indian labour laws, statutory requirements, and compliance, with the ability to stay current as regulations evolve.

- A natural problem- solver with a strong sense of ownership and outcome focus, particularly in fast- moving situations.

- Comfortable operating in a hands- on manner, across both detailed operational work and larger strategic initiatives.

- Open to intensity and flexibility in working hours during peak cycles and critical milestones.
