WHAT YOU'LL OWN Design and build Lyzr's people function from the ground up — strategy, systems, and team Lead talent acquisition across engineering, product, sales, and operations in India and the US Own the full US and Canada employee experience: compensation benchmarking, health & benefits administration, 401(k), equity, and compliance Manage India HR operations including statutory compliance, payroll coordination, and vendor relationships Build performance frameworks that are lightweight, fair, and actually drive growth Shape culture in a distributed, async-first team defining what 'great place to work' means at Lyzr Partner with founders and leadership team on org design, headcount planning, and leveling Establish onboarding and L&D programs that help people ramp fast and grow continuously. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR 12+ years as an HR / People business partner, with at least 5 years in a leadership role managing a team and a clear, progressive track record of increased scope and responsibility across multiple HR functions. Meaningful time inside an early-stage tech startup (Series A–C), where you've lived through 2x–5x headcount growth and know what breaks and what to build ahead of at each inflection point. Strong ability to operate in ambiguity: you can introduce structure without over-engineering, and you know the difference between a policy the company needs now versus one it needs in 18 months. Proven track record designing and running employee engagement and communications programs that move the needle on morale, performance, and retention Appetite for building innovative People programs and practices that create a culture of strong leaders and high-performing teams Experience identifying and implementing programs to keep the company compliant with applicable government regulations across jurisdictions. Solid working knowledge of US employment law, benefits (health, dental, vision), insurance brokers, and equity administration. You don't need to be a lawyer, but you know when to call one. Equivalent fluency in Indian HR operations: PF, ESIC, gratuity, POSH compliance, and labor law basics. Hands-on experience selecting and implementing HRIS tools and building people processes from scratch -without a large team behind you. WHO THRIVES HERE We're a small, focused team that moves fast and holds itself to high standards. The people who love working at Lyzr tend to share a few things: They prefer building over maintaining. They're comfortable with ambiguity and good at deciding what to prioritize without being told They bring warmth and rigor in equal measure : people-first values with operational precision They're curious about AI and excited about what it means for the future of work Think long-term while executing short-term
