Key Responsibilities

Business Partnering

• Act as the trusted HR partner to business leaders at Noida — understanding their people priorities and translating them into pragmatic, high-impact HR interventions.
• Coach and advise managers on team effectiveness, employee relations, and day-to-day people decisions.
• Serve as the primary link between employees and the broader People & Culture function, ensuring global programmes are localised and employee needs are surfaced to APAC HR leadership.
• Represent Noida's people priorities in regional HR forums and contribute to APAC-level HR planning.

Employee Experience & Engagement

• Design and drive employee engagement strategies for Noida — diagnosing root causes of attrition and disengagement through structured listening, pulse surveys, and manager feedback channels.
• Champion inclusion, recognition, and psychological safety; partner with managers on onboarding, integration, and retention of critical talent.
• Lead Noida's response to Employee Satisfaction Survey (ESS) results — developing and tracking action plans with measurable outcomes.
• Build a strong sense of community and belonging through engagement initiatives, milestone recognition, and a vibrant culture calendar.

Performance & Talent Management

• Guide managers through performance calibration, feedback frameworks, and improvement planning — coaching leaders to build high-performing, accountable teams.
• Support talent management processes including talent reviews, succession planning, career development conversations, and high-potential identification.
• Partner with Talent Acquisition on workforce planning and hiring strategies that meet Noida's growth objectives.

Employee Relations

• Navigate employee relations matters with sound judgement, cultural sensitivity, and fairness — coaching managers and supporting employees through resolution.

HR Data, Analytics & Insights

• Build and maintain HR data dashboards for Noida — tracking headcount, attrition, engagement, hiring velocity, and tenure on a regular cadence.
• Leverage AI tools and data analytics to identify workforce trends, predict attrition risk, and surface actionable insights for business and HR leadership.
• Present people data in a compelling, visually clear format to business leaders and the APAC HR Leader — translating numbers into narrative and recommendations, not just reports.

• Hands-on experience with HR data analytics — building dashboards, interpreting workforce metrics, and presenting insights to leadership.
• Practical experience applying AI tools in an HR or people-analytics context.

• Proven stakeholder management and influencing skills — able to advise, challenge, and partner with senior business leaders with confidence.
• Proficiency in HRIS platforms, particularly Workday.
• Strong presentation and storytelling skills; able to translate complex people data into decision-ready narratives.
• Outstanding verbal and written communication skills in English.

Education & Experience

• 9+ years of progressive HR experience, with at least 4–5 years in a dedicated HRBP role in a technology or product-led organisation.
