Head - Human Resource - Retail

Discipline - Human Resources

Subsector - Generalist HR

Location : Delhi NCR

About our Client : Our client is an American multinational and a globally established provider of luxury and consumer retail goods. Headquartered in Delhi, they are now looking to aggressively expand their footprint across India and are looking for a HR Head for their India operations. This role is based of their corporate office in Delhi.

Job Description:

- Reporting to a Regional Head of Human Resources (whose mandate extends across multiple continents), you will head the entire Human Resources function for the organization, and be based in the Delhi corporate office.

- This is a new role mandated by the current and projected size of the organization, as the responsibilities were previously shared by a more junior incumbent and the regional head.

- Your responsibilities will encompass the entire generalist function to provide support to the business, as well as supervising specific functional verticals within the human resources domain.

- The human resources team is fairly lean at the moment, and you will have support from three established team members handling the specific functional domains of talent acquisition, compensation and benefits and talent management, as well as three more junior staff.

- Given the expansion plans of the organization in India, you will be expected to play an especially stellar role in talent acquisition and talent management, as well as introducing and implementing any relevant processes required to support a larger organization.

- There is also a clear likelihood of further human resources functions being required in the near future, and you would be expected to pilot an effective expansion of the human resources domain.

The Successful Candidate: This is clearly a challenging and intense assignment and we require individuals with the following attributes:

- To be ideally based in Delhi NCR, and relocate with family if necessary

- Excellent educational pedigree in human resources

- At least 9- 12 years experience in the human resources domain

- Experience heading and growing at least a mid-sized MNC organization ideally in retail

- Highly skilled communicator

- The organization is largely consensus driven and we are looking for individuals who leads by influence rather than by individualism. Given the background of the organization, there is currently a high level of regional involvement and we expect the candidate to handle the necessary transitions in a professional and efficient manner.

What's on Offer:

- This challenging assignment allows a chance to oversee the growth of the organization in the country, and translate a highly progressive global culture to the Indian organization.

- The depth and complexity of the role will continually evolve given the expansion plans, and so would the Human Resources organization. This role offers a healthy mix of operational, business and strategic functions and also a chance to develop a regional and global outlook.

- An attractive remuneration package and good benefits complete a comprehensive offering.
