Role Overview

This is a fast-track HR Business Partner (HRBP) role for MBA-HR graduates from Tier-1 B-Schools who aspire to grow into strategic HR leaders early in their careers.

The ideal candidate is extroverted, energetic, and a natural people connector who blends empathy with analytical thinking and storytelling.

Key Responsibilities & What Success Looks Like

1. People Partnership & Business Alignment

- Work closely with Delivery and BU Heads on staffing, utilization, and workforce planning.

- Translate business goals into people actions and headcount strategies.

- Create and present monthly people insights and decks for BU reviews.

- Success means becoming a trusted advisor to delivery leaders and ensuring that workforce planning directly supports revenue and utilization goals.

2. Employee Connect & Engagement

- Conduct regular 1:1 connects and pulse checks across teams to gauge morale and satisfaction.

- Identify early attrition signals and design retention actions with managers.

- Act as a bridge for transparent communication between employees and leadership.

- Success means every employee feels heard, engaged, and aligned with company values, reflected in improved morale and reduced attrition.

3. Analytics, Timesheet & Leakage Management

- Maintain accurate dashboards for headcount, attrition, utilization, and project timesheets.

- Partner with Delivery Excellence and Finance to monitor timesheet compliance and prevent billing leakages.

- Present clear, story-driven reports that convert data into actionable business narratives.

Success means complete accuracy in people analytics, disciplined timesheet management, and visible reduction in non-billable leakages.

4. Customer Onboarding & Compliance

- Manage end-to-end customer onboarding - NDAs, background checks, security access, and client compliance training.

- Ensure all people-related documentation is audit-ready at any point in time.

Success means every new employee on a client project is fully compliant and ready to deliver from Day 1 without any audit observations.

5. Culture, Communication & Recognition

- Lead regional culture programs such as Ignite, Tech Jam, Habibi Night, and Leadership Retros.

- Drive recognition initiatives like Spotlight, Star Awards, and NeoThanks.

- Manage internal communications - newsletters, retrospectives, and townhalls.

- Promote Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and coordinate POSH awareness sessions.

Success means a vibrant, inclusive, and connected regional culture where employees feel recognized, informed, and proud to represent StatusNeo.

6. Learning, Growth & Performance

- Partner with the L&D team for participation in NeoOrientation, Functional Academies, and Leadership Programs.

- Support performance reviews, promotion cycles, and goal-setting discussions.

Success means every employee in your region is continuously learning, growing, and clear on their performance expectations.

7. Exit, Governance & HR Hygiene

- Manage regional bench exits and final HR sign-offs with proper documentation.

- Coordinate with Finance, IT, and Legal for seamless clearances.

Success means every exit is completed on time, risk-free, and with positive closure for both the employee and the company.
