About NUUK

Appliances don't have to be boring.

For too long, they stood still while people and homes evolved.

NUUK exists to challenge that.

We are a team of engineers, designers, and operators building from first principles - creating products that are thoughtful, functional, and built to last.

But great products don't scale without strong people systems.

This Role Lives Inside Our POWER Team

At NUUK, we don't have HR.

We have POWER.

POWER = People • Organization • Workplace • Experience • Readiness

This is the team that builds how NUUK works:

• How performance is driven
• How talent grows
• How teams operate at speed

You won't be part of a support function.

You'll be part of the system that powers the company.

What is this role about

This role is for someone who owns execution and builds along the way.

You will:

• Run performance processes
• 
  
• Work closely with teams and managers
• 
  
• Bring structure to fast-moving environments

You won't just assist or coordinate.

You will own outcomes and make things move.

What will you do

1. Performance Execution

• Run goal-setting, check-ins, and review cycles end-to-end
• Ensure performance processes actually happen — consistently and on time
• Track progress, highlight gaps, and follow through on actions

2. Talent & Growth

• Identify high-potential team members early
• Support development plans and career conversations
• Enable internal mobility and role clarity

3. Data & Insights

• Maintain clean and reliable people data
• Track performance trends and generate insights
• Support decision-making with structured inputs

4. Manager Enablement

• Build and execute playbooks, templates, and tools
• Work closely with managers to improve how they handle performance
• Ensure consistency in how teams operate

Who we're looking for

• 2–4 years in HRBP / Performance / Talent roles
• Startup or high-growth experience is a strong plus
• Strong execution ability - you get things done without follow-ups
• High ownership mindset - you take responsibility, not instructions
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast pace
• Good with data and structured thinking
• Strong communication and stakeholder handling

If you're looking for a clearly defined, low-pressure role, this is not it.

If you like taking ownership and making things happen, you'll do well here.

Why This Role is Different

• You will work closely with founders and core teams
• You will see how people decisions impact real business outcomes
• You won't just run processes - you'll improve them

Why join NUUK

• High ownership from Day 1
• Exposure across teams and functions
• Fast learning curve in a scaling startup
• Opportunity to grow into a strategic role over time
• Work with a team that builds, not just talks

NUUK is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employee

We believe Indian homes deserve world-class products, and we won't stop until every nook and corner has a NUUK.

We're a band of obsessive doers and audacious dreamers - engineers, designers, and operators who run on caffeine, first principles, and a shared belief that Indian homes deserve way more than what the appliance industry has been giving them. Our culture code is simple: be customer-obsessed, do deep work, show true grit, think differently, and always speak up.

If you want to do the best work of your life — pull up a chair. We've been waiting for you.
