The Mandate

India is one of our fastest-growing markets, and it is ready for a People function of its own. This is the first time we are putting a dedicated HR Business Partner on the ground here.

You would build it: the processes, the manager relationships, and the way People works across our Delhi, Gurugram and Chennai teams and the operations colleagues in the cities beyond them.

You would report directly into our Senior HRBP in Kuala Lumpur, with no layer in between, and you would run India.

This is a build role rather than a maintain-the-machine one. If you have wanted to shape a country People function instead of inheriting somebody else’s, this is that seat.

A core measure of success: Twelve months in, India has a People function that runs on its own — documented processes, managers who know exactly who to call, and compliance that stands up to IPO-grade scrutiny.

A Day in a Life

At Teleport, we’re building toward IPO — and that means doing the boring things well. Execution, discipline, and follow-through matter as much as big ideas.

Your day will be varied, often crossing functions, but most of your time will focus on delivering results, owning your scope end-to-end, making fast, data-informed decisions, and following through on fundamentals like reporting, documentation, and processes.

How we work matters as much as what we achieve. Doing the basics right, every time, sets us up for success.

Most of your time will be spent driving impact through:

Business partnering

• Advising line managers on live employee issues, annual reviews, career conversations, performance concerns and sensitive communications.
• Acting as trusted advisor and advocate through talent discussions, probation reviews, performance improvement plans and managed departures.
• Serving as the primary People contact for India leadership, and resolving escalations before they become risk.

Employee lifecycle ownership

• Owning delivery and accountability across the full lifecycle: onboarding, disciplinary, grievance, leave, policy enforcement, career transitions, performance management and exits.
• Constituting and servicing the Internal Committee under the POSH Act at every qualifying workplace, briefing the external member, and keeping the annual District Officer filing current.
• Owning the India holiday calendar, and the attendance and roster policy for our shift-based populations.

Statutory and payroll

• Holding India statutory compliance end-to-end: EPFO, ESIC, professional tax, gratuity and Shops & Establishments registrations in every state we operate in.
• Reconciling local payroll and HRIS against Workday as the group system of record, and keeping the two honest.
• Carrying India through the Labour Codes transition, including the wage-definition impact on provident fund and gratuity cost.
• Keeping the contingent workforce clean: consultant classification, and principal-employer obligations wherever contract labour supports our airport and operations sites.

Qualifications & Experience

Minimum of 4 – 6 years Human Resources generalist experience or business role providing deep insight into HR related matters.

At Teleport, we’re all about creating a diverse and inclusive team where everyone feels valued.
