- Experience within a Global Capability Center (GCC) or India Development Center environment is a strong advantage
- Ability to partner across HR functions, Talent Acquisition, Compensation, L&D, and HR Operations
- Experience managing a broad range of HR challenges: performance management, attrition, restructuring, employee relations, and onboarding
- Proven ability to implement engagement, wellness, or culture strategies that move the needle on employee morale
- Strong knowledge of Indian labor law and employment regulations (Industrial Relations Code, POSH Act, Shops & Establishments Act)
- Comfort with HR analytics and HRIS tools (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or similar)
