We’re hiring a People Operations Specialist who can build and run HR operations for the India team while supporting basic U.S. HR coordination when needed. This is a hands‑on, full‑stack People Ops role covering hiring, onboarding, policy support, HR admin, engagement, and payroll coordination.

• HR Policies & People Ops Systems:
  Help adapt India HR policies (leave, U.S. overlap norms, conduct, confidentiality). Work with CA/legal partners to ensure policy compliance. Build SOPs for HR workflows using templates and guidance. Use tools (including AI) to automate or simplify routine HR processes.
