Position: Senior Executive / Assistant Manager – HR (Generalist)

Location: Mumbai

Experience: 4–7 years

Join The Health Factory as an HR Generalist in a growing HR team, and help shape how a fast-growing FMCG brand hires, onboards and looks after its people.

You will own recruitment and the employee lifecycle end to end for 150+ employees across Sales, Marketing, Quick Commerce, Corporate, Manufacturing and Operations. You will report directly to the HR Function Lead and work closely with HR Operations and business leaders.

This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You will build in-house hiring, make onboarding and employee experience measurably better, and have a clear path to becoming an HR Business Partner for one of our business verticals as the team grows.

We are looking for a well-rounded generalist who enjoys variety, takes ownership and genuinely cares about the people they support.

• Own every stage of the employee lifecycle, from offer and joining through confirmation, transfers and exit.
• Ensure joining documentation, employee records and lifecycle formalities are complete and accurate.
• Manage exit formalities and exit interviews, and share insights on attrition with the HR Function Lead.

• Drive end-to-end recruitment: role briefs with hiring managers, sourcing, screening, interview coordination and offers.
• Build in-house direct sourcing capability, reserving consultants for niche or confidential mandates.
• Maintain a live hiring tracker for all open roles and provide regular updates to hiring managers.
• Track hiring metrics such as time to hire, source mix and offer acceptance.

• Design and run a structured onboarding experience for every new joiner.
• Collect and act on new-joiner feedback at 30 days to continuously improve onboarding.
• Identify and implement improvements to the overall employee experience, with a focus on early-tenure retention.

• Act as the day-to-day HR point of contact for employees and managers.
• Handle employee queries, concerns and grievances fairly, promptly and confidentially.
• Support engagement, communication and recognition initiatives across teams.

• Keep the HRMS and employee data accurate and up to date.
• Prepare periodic HR reports on headcount, hiring, attrition and onboarding.
• Identify gaps in HR processes and implement practical improvements.

• Support the rollout and communication of HR policies so employees understand and follow them.
• Ensure HR processes are applied consistently across functions and locations.

• Work closely with HR Operations to hand off joining, exit and data changes cleanly for payroll and compliance.
• Partner with people managers to understand team needs and anticipate hiring requirements.
• Coordinate with external recruitment partners and vendors where required.

• Bachelor's degree in any discipline; MBA/PGDM in Human Resources preferred.
• 4–7 years of HR experience covering both recruitment and the employee lifecycle.
• Prior experience in a startup, FMCG or other high-growth environment is strongly preferred.
• Hands-on experience running end-to-end hiring, including direct sourcing, is a must.
• Working knowledge of Indian labour laws and HR documentation.
• Exposure to hiring for sales, quick commerce, manufacturing or plant roles is an advantage.

• Strong generalist HR knowledge across the employee lifecycle
• Proven recruitment and sourcing capability
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Strong HRMS and data management skills
• Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills for trackers and reporting
• High ownership and follow-through, with strong attention to detail
• Empathy and a genuine focus on employee experience
• Discretion in handling confidential information
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

The successful candidate will build reliable, employee-focused HR execution that improves hiring speed and quality, delivers a consistently strong onboarding experience, and measurably improves employee experience and retention. Within the first 90 days, they will independently own lifecycle and recruitment activities, have a weekly hiring tracker in place for every open role, and have an improved onboarding experience live for every new joiner. Over time, the role can grow into a dedicated HR Business Partner for one of our business verticals.
