Head HRBP

This is a builder's role. You'll own the entire HR charter for Inamo, excluding talent acquisition, designing systems, frameworks, and processes from zero to one, while acting as a strategic partner to the co-founder on people decisions. Someone comfortable with ambiguity, who can build structure without over-engineering it for a startup's pace, equal parts strategic thinker and hands-on operator, reporting directly into the co-founder.

The candidate will have responsibilities across the following functions:

HR Strategy and Business Partnering:

• Act as strategic advisor to the co-founder on org design, workforce planning, and people strategy.
• Translate business goals into HR priorities and roadmaps.

Policy and Process Design:

• Build HR policies, SOPs, and employee handbook from scratch.
• Design compensation structures, performance management systems, and career frameworks.

Compliance and Statutory:

• Ensure compliance with labour laws (Shops & Establishments, PF, ESIC, POSH, gratuity, etc. )
• Manage statutory audits, registrations, and documentation.
• Set up POSH committee and grievance redressal mechanisms.

Employee Engagement and Culture:

• Design and drive engagement calendars, R& R programs, and culture-building initiatives.
• Build feedback mechanisms (pulse surveys, skip-levels, exit interviews) and act on insights.
• Champion Inamo's culture as the company scales.

HR Operations:

• Oversee onboarding/offboarding, HRMS implementation, payroll coordination, and employee lifecycle management.
• Build MIS/dashboards for HR metrics (attrition, headcount, engagement scores).
• Design L& D frameworks, competency mapping, and succession planning.
• Drive performance appraisal cycles end-to-end.

Requirements:

• 8-12 years in HR/HRBP roles, with at least 3-4 years in a leadership capacity.
• Prior experience in e-commerce, quick-commerce, or logistics (high-velocity, operations-heavy environments).
• Proven track record of building HR functions from scratch at a startup or during rapid scale-up.
• Strong grasp of Indian labour law and statutory compliance.
• Experience with HRMS/HCM tools (SAP SuccessFactors, Darwinbox, Keka, etc. )
• Excellent stakeholder management, with comfort operating as a direct report to a founder.
• MBA/PGDM in HR preferred.
