Senior Manager HR, HR Business Partner,

Join a PE-backed B2B software business in the fraud prevention and digital risk space, hiring its senior HR leader for India as the region scales rapidly.

This is a hands-on HRBP role supporting high-performing engineering and product teams, with real ownership, senior stakeholder exposure, and the chance to shape how the India organisation grows. If you enjoy partnering with technical leaders, tightening operating discipline, and building strong people foundations in a fast-paced environment, this one is worth a look.

Company snapshot

A global enterprise software company operating in fraud prevention and authentication for banking and payments. Profitable, well-backed, and investing heavily in product innovation and growth. International footprint, remote-first ways of working, and a leadership team that expects high standards and clear execution.

Why this role exists

India is the fastest-growing region and the current HR setup is not scaling with hiring volume and leadership needs.

The business needs a more senior HRBP who can influence engineering leaders, bring structure to recruitment and talent practices, and improve consistency across the employee lifecycle.

This is a newly created role, designed to add strategic depth and day to day execution power in-region.

About the role

You will be the senior HR partner for India, supporting circa 120 FTEs today and growing, largely across technology and product innovation teams.

You will lead end-to-end HR delivery, while also building leadership capability, improving hiring discipline, and strengthening the employee experience.

You will manage and develop a regional HR Generalist/Recruiter, and partner closely with global HR leadership.
