HR Manager

ANSR is hiring for one of its clients.

ABOUT UNDER ARMOUR:

Our story is a classic American entrepreneurial journey, born from a simple, unmet need identified by an athlete. In 1996, founder Kevin Plank, then captain of the University of Maryland football team, set out to solve the problem of sweat-soaked cotton shirts by creating a moisture-wicking synthetic alternative. That innovation – HeatGear – redefined the athletic base layer and laid the foundation for what is today a global leader in performance apparel, footwear, and accessories.

Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, Under Armour is driven by a clear mission – to make all athletes better. This relentless pursuit of better defines who we are, shaping our focus on performance, innovation, and continuous improvement.

OUR PURPOSE:

Building on this global foundation, Under Armour India is purpose-built to access India's top-tier talent and embed the brand's culture into scalable, tech-driven solutions. At its core, this is about empowering those who strive for more – a belief reflected in our values: Act Sustainably, Celebrate the Wins, Fight on Together, Love Athletes, and Stand for Equality.

These values serve as a shared framework that guides how we think, build, and collaborate. They connect teams across geographies, reinforce our purpose, and ensure that everything we do is aligned to a common goal – enabling better outcomes for athletes and the business.

At Under Armour India, this translates into an environment where individuals have the freedom to go further, regardless of role. Teams are empowered to develop and deliver state-of-the-art products and digital solutions that enhance performance and drive impact at scale.

VALUES & INNOVATION:

Across Under Armour globally, our values act as the thread that unites every teammate, shaping a culture grounded in purpose, accountability, and shared ambition. They are not just principles, but active drivers of how we operate, innovate, and grow together.

This culture is deeply anchored in innovation – a continuous pursuit of better that pushes boundaries and challenges convention. Whether through product innovation or digital transformation, teams are enabled to create solutions that elevate performance and redefine possibilities for athletes everywhere.
