Head of HR

Head of HR

Full-time  •  Noida  •  EdTech

About the Role

We are looking for a people-first HR leader who thrives in a fast-moving EdTech environment. This is not a maintenance role — it’s a building role. You’ll shape the people function from the ground up, working closely with leadership to create a workplace where learners, educators, and operators can all do their best work.

People Ops & Learner Experience

•        Own the end-to-end employee lifecycle — from onboarding to offboarding — ensuring every experience feels intentional and meaningful

•        Design onboarding journeys that reflect the EdTech mission and set new hires up for immediate impact

Hiring & Talent Acquisition

•        Lead end-to-end hiring across all departments — tech, product, content, growth, and operations

•        Partner with team leads to define role requirements, improve hiring speed, and raise the talent bar

•        Build scalable recruitment systems suited to a high-growth EdTech environment

Culture & Engagement

•        Create programs that genuinely engage people — not just checkboxes — and keep a live pulse on team morale

•        Drive initiatives that embed EdTech’s mission into everyday culture, rituals, and team behaviours

•        Plan and execute engagement activities, feedback loops, and team events that enhance collaboration and retention

Talent Development

•        Support learning initiatives, track training participation, and coordinate capability-building programs

•        Map skill gaps across teams and partner with managers to build individual growth plans

Admin & Infrastructure

•        Oversee HR operations including HRMS management, documentation, compliance, and statutory requirements

•        Build SOPs, maintain data hygiene, and ensure audit-readiness across all HR processes

Data & Insights

•        Build HR dashboards, track key people metrics (attrition, eNPS, hiring TAT, diversity), and use data to drive better decisions

•        Drive efficiency through automation using Excel and HR tools

You’ll Love This If You...

•        Have 7+ years of experience across HR functions — especially in a high-growth or early-stage EdTech environment

•        Enjoy solving messy, ambiguous problems and building systems from scratch

•        Balance empathy and execution — you’re kind, but you also get things done

•        Know how to hold space for people while also driving performance

•        Get energy from building culture, not just maintaining it

•        Have led HR teams before and are comfortable working directly with founders and leadership

•        Understand the unique people challenges of a company obsessed with learning and impact

What’s in It for You?

•        A seat at the leadership table — your voice will shape how we grow

•        A high-trust environment with full ownership of your function

•        A company that genuinely cares about its people — and its learners

•        Competitive compensation with performance-based incentives

•        The opportunity to build something that matters — in a space that changes lives

Qualifications

•        Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, or a related field (preferred)

•        Strong passion for people, culture, and talent development

•        Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

•        Proactive, self-driven, and ownership-oriented

•        Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

•        Proficient in Excel and comfortable working with HR data

•        Good understanding of HR compliance and employee lifecycle processes
