About The Role
We're looking for a Senior HR Manager to own the entire people function — from hiring and compliance to administration and legal. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who can operate as an IC and build a team. Prior experience in a warehouse, logistics, or manufacturing environment is mandatory.
Key Responsibilities
Talent Acquisition

- Build sourcing pipelines and manage relationships with consultants and staffing agencies
- Define hiring frameworks, manage offer negotiation, and own onboarding experience
Learning, Development & Training
- Design L&D plans for corporate and warehouse teams
- Own mandatory training calendars — fire safety, first aid, PPE, POSH, equipment handling
- Ensure all regulatory-mandated certifications are current and renewed on time
Payroll & Compensation
- Own accurate, on-time payroll for all employees including contract and warehouse workforce
- Handle FnF settlements, increments, and TDS coordination with finance
Statutory & Regulatory Compliance
- Corporate: PF, ESIC, PT, Gratuity, Shops & Establishment Act, POSH, Labour Welfare Fund
- Warehouse: Fire NOC, medical fitness, PPE enforcement, accident reporting, contractor compliance
- Maintain a zero-miss compliance calendar and liaise with labour departments
Legal & Employee Relations
- Draft and enforce HR policies — employment agreements, NDAs, asset and data policies
- Handle absconding cases end-to-end: legal notices, asset recovery, FIR coordination
- Manage terminations, PIPs, show-cause notices, and labour court matters
Exit Management
- Own full exit lifecycle — asset recovery, access revocation, FnF, exit interviews
- Track attrition trends and present quarterly insights to leadership
Performance Management
- Build the PMS framework from scratch — KRAs, review cycles, ratings, PIP process
- Tie outcomes to increments, promotions, and recognition programs
Administration & Facilities
- Manage the office space end-to-end — housekeeping, security, AMCs, pantry, seating
- Handle landlord/building liaison, lease documentation, and office insurance
Vendor Management
- Own all HR and admin vendors — staffing, BGV, payroll, HRMS, compliance, legal
- Negotiate contracts, manage SLAs, and conduct periodic performance reviews
What We're Looking For
- 8–13 years of HR experience with at least 3 years in a leadership role
- Mandatory: prior experience in warehouse, logistics, or manufacturing
- Proven ability to build HR systems and policies from scratch
- Strong knowledge of Indian labour law, statutory compliance, and HR legal frameworks
- Hands-on with payroll, admin, and facilities — not just oversight
- Strong vendor network and excellent written communication
- High ownership mindset — comfortable building structure where none exists
WHY JOIN CITYFURNISH
- Build the HR function from the ground up — full ownership from day one
- Direct access to founders and high visibility across the organisation
- Fast-paced startup with real problems to solve at scale
- Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
