HR Executive

My Design Minds is hiring an experienced and hands-on HR Generalist who can take complete ownership of talent acquisition and core HR operations in a fast-growing design and engineering company. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working in a startup or MSME environment, where processes are built from scratch and decisions are taken quickly.

The HR Generalist will play a critical role in building the right team, maintaining day-to-day HR operations, and ensuring smooth people management across the organization. This position requires strong hiring judgment, accountability, and practical HR execution skills, rather than corporate policy-heavy HR experience.

This is not a corporate HR role with fixed processes and limited scope. You will work directly with the founder, support rapid hiring needs, and contribute to shaping HR systems, policies, and SOPs that support business growth.
