HR & Admin Manager

About the Role

We are looking for an HR & Admin Manager who can help SUIND scale from a small founder-led team into a structured, high-performance organisation.

This role will own hiring coordination, onboarding, HR operations, employee documentation, basic policies, office administration and day-to-day people processes. Since SUIND is a hardware and field-operations company, the role will involve working with engineers, technicians, pilots, operations staff, finance, management and external vendors.

This is not a purely desk-based HR role. We need someone who is organised, practical, people-friendly and operationally strong.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage hiring coordination across technical, operations, manufacturing, finance, content and business roles.
• Coordinate job postings, candidate pipelines, interview scheduling and follow-ups.
• Support offer letters, joining formalities, employee documentation and onboarding.
• Maintain employee records, attendance, leave records and HR databases.
• Coordinate payroll inputs with the finance team.
• Help create and maintain HR policies, employee handbooks and internal process documents.
• Manage office administration, facilities, vendors, travel coordination and basic workplace requirements.
• Support employee engagement, internal communication and culture-building initiatives.
• Coordinate training records, especially for pilots, technicians and operations teams.
• Support performance review cycles, feedback processes and internal reviews.
• Work with leadership to ensure the team scales in a structured but startup-friendly way.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of experience in HR, people operations, admin or startup operations.
• Experience handling recruitment coordination and employee lifecycle processes.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Good documentation and follow-up discipline.
• Comfortable working with both white-collar and field/technical teams.
• Ability to handle ambiguity and multiple operational tasks.
• Good working knowledge of Google Workspace / MS Office.
• Practical understanding of payroll inputs, attendance, leave and HR documentation.

Good to Have

• Experience in a startup, manufacturing company, hardware company, drone company or operations-heavy business.
• Experience hiring technicians, engineers, pilots or field operations staff.
• Basic knowledge of labour compliance, employment documentation and HR policies.
• Comfort with HRMS tools or basic HR databases.

Who Will Succeed in This Role

You will succeed if you are organised, dependable, firm when needed and genuinely enjoy helping teams function better. SUIND is growing fast, and this role will be central to building the people systems that allow the company to scale without chaos.

Why Join SUIND?

At SUIND, you will work on technology that leaves the lab and operates in the real world.

Our drones are designed for environments that are complex, messy and high-value — farms, plantations, infrastructure sites, industrial assets, remote areas, security-sensitive zones and other places where reliable autonomous aerial systems can make a meaningful difference.

You will be part of a team building core autonomy, aerial robotics, embedded systems, field operations, manufacturing capability and commercial platforms from India for global-scale markets. The work is hard, interdisciplinary and deeply hands-on — but it is also meaningful.
