Chief Human Resources Officer

We’re looking for a Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) to help shape the next phase of our organization’s growth.

This is not a traditional HR operations role.

We are looking for a strategic people leader with the maturity, business orientation, and leadership depth to build high-performance teams, strengthen culture, and partner closely with the leadership team on organizational scale and transformation.

Who we’re looking for

• 20+ years of progressive HR leadership experience
• Strong academic foundation in HR / People Management from a reputed institution
• Proven experience in senior HR leadership roles such as CHRO / Group HR Head / EVP HR / Head – People & Culture
• Strong experience working within Indian organizations, especially promoter-led or high-growth businesses

Strategic capability across:

• Organization Design
• Leadership Development
• Succession Planning
• Performance Culture
• Talent Strategy
• Workforce Transformation

We are equally open to evaluating high-potential leaders who are currently one level below CHRO, provided they have demonstrated strategic influence, leadership maturity, and readiness to step into an enterprise-wide people leadership role.

Preferred experience

• Retail / consumer / QSR / FMCG / multi-location workforce exposure will be highly valued
• Experience managing both frontline and corporate talent environments
• Exposure to scaling organizations and driving cultural transformation

This role may not be the right fit if your experience is primarily:

• HR operations or compliance-focused
• Limited to talent acquisition or L&D in isolation
• Restricted to shared services or non-business-facing HR environments
• At a mid-management HRBP level without enterprise leadership exposure

We are looking for leaders who are excited by the opportunity to build organizations, shape culture, develop leadership capability, and create meaningful long-term business impact.

If this resonates with your experience and aspirations, please write to us at [email protected] with:

• Your updated profile/CV
• Date of birth
• Current CTC and expected CTC
• A short cover note on why you believe you are suited for this role

Discretion and confidentiality will be maintained throughout the process.
