HR Operations Site Lead - Mangalore

We’re seeking curious, growth minded thinkers to help shape our vision, structures and systems; playing a key-role as we launch into our ambitious future. If you’re invigorated by our mission, values, and drive to change the world — we’d love to have you apply.

We are looking for an experienced HR Operations Site Lead to support and run day-to-day people operations at our Mangalore office — working closely with the Site Manager and global HR team to ensure a compliant, well-run, and people-first environment across a 24/7 setup.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who brings deep expertise in HR compliance and labor law, has experience working in multi-shift operations, and can execute seamlessly as part of a global recruitment, onboarding, and HR operations team. You will be the on-ground HR presence at the site — the person employees turn to, the one who keeps things running, and the connector between Mangalore and the broader Entrupy team.

If you are execution-driven, thrive without a playbook, and take pride in getting the details right, we would love to talk.
