About Statsby

Statsby is an AI and Data company built exclusively for the pharmaceutical and clinical research industry. We help the teams behind medicine move faster and deliver with greater confidence — through AI built with the rigor, care, and domain depth this industry deserves.

What You'll Own

1. Talent acquisition & recruitment - Own the full cycle from intake to close. Source actively, build a structured, competency-based interview process, and make hiring decisions rest on evidence.

2. Employer brand & digital presence - Own how Statsby shows up as a place to work - careers page, LinkedIn, job posts, and a steady cadence of culture and hiring content.

3. Onboarding & employee experience - Design onboarding end to end, own the offer-to-joining window, and run the listening mechanisms and communication rhythms that make a company feel like one.

4. Performance management & appraisals - Build a lightweight performance and goal-setting framework, run the full appraisal cycle, and support comp reviews with benchmarking and band design.

5. Talent management, growth & retention - Build career frameworks and levelling, own learning and development, and manage exits with the same care as entries.

6. HR operations, policy & compliance - Own the employee handbook, Indian statutory compliance, letters, payroll inputs, and the HRIS.

What We Need You To Bring

You will not have mastered all six areas at this stage of your career - nobody has at 3–6 years. We are hiring for ownership, judgement and trajectory, and we will prioritize together on what comes first.

What matters:

• 3–6 years in an HR generalist, people operations, or HRBP role — ideally at a startup or small, fast-growing team where you covered more than one area.
• Demonstrated end-to-end recruitment ownership — you have sourced, screened, run interview loops, and closed candidates yourself.
• Working knowledge of Indian employment and statutory compliance. You don't need to be an expert on day one, but you must know what you don't know and where to find it.
• Clear, direct written English. You will write offer letters, policies, job posts and difficult emails. Writing is most of this job.
• Comfort building from nothing. A blank page should excite you, not worry you.
• Genuine interest in the people you hire for — willing to learn enough about clinical research and AI to hold a credible conversation with a candidate.
• A graduate degree in any discipline

Helpful, but not required: experience hiring technical roles (AI/ML, data, product); exposure to pharma, life sciences or a regulated industry; hands-on HRIS/ATS implementation.

An Honest Filter

This role is probably not for you if you want a defined remit with clear precedent, prefer to execute a strategy someone else has set, or want a specialist path in one HR discipline. Those are reasonable things to want — they're just not this job. Here the scope is wide, the ambiguity is real, and the trade-off is that you will build things that outlast you.

WHAT YOU GET IN RETURN

• A function to call yours — build the People function from the ground up and carry that credential for the rest of your career. Very few people get this at 3–6 years experience.
• A seat at the table — direct reporting line to a Co-Founder; in headcount, compensation and org conversations from month one.
• A path to Head of People — as the team grows, this role grows with it. We would strongly prefer to promote into that seat rather than hire over you.
• Hybrid working
