Location: Onsite, DHA, Karachi

Work Hours: 6:00 PM to 3:00 AM

About the Role

We're hiring our first dedicated Deputy HR Manager to build and own the people function from the ground up. You'll lead recruitment, employee relations, and culture-building, while also handling day-to-day HR operations in this early phase.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role, ideal for someone who enjoys variety and wants to shape HR at a growing company rather than step into a fully built-out process.

Key Responsibilities

Recruitment & Hiring

• Manage full-cycle recruitment: job postings, sourcing, screening, interviewing, and offer negotiation.

• Lead technical talent acquisition, partnering with engineering/product leads to understand role requirements and assess candidates for technical roles.

• Manage international hiring, including sourcing candidates across regions, understanding cross-border employment practices, and coordinating international offer processes.

• Coordinate with department heads to understand hiring needs and define role requirements.

• Own onboarding, from offer letter to a structured induction process for new hires.

• Maintain a candidate pipeline for future openings.

Employee Management & Development

• Manage the employee lifecycle: onboarding, performance appraisals, promotions, offboarding, and exit interviews.

• Conduct regular one-on-one and team feedback sessions to support growth and address concerns.

• Act as a trusted point of contact for employee queries, grievances, and conflict resolution.

Culture & Engagement

• Plan and run live workshops, training sessions, and skill-building activities.

• Organize office events and team-building activities to maintain a positive and lively work environment.

• Track employee satisfaction and engagement and act on feedback.

HR Operations

• Maintain employee records and basic HRIS data.

• Coordinate payroll inputs, including attendance and leave, with finance.

• Draft and maintain core HR policies with compliance oversight.

• Handle documentation for onboarding and offboarding.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of experience in HR, with solid full-cycle recruitment experience.

• Proven experience in international hiring and familiarity with cross-border employment practices, including contracts, compliance considerations, and time-zone coordination.

• Experience with technical talent acquisition, including sourcing and screening for engineering and technical roles.

• Strong interpersonal, communication, and organizational skills.

• Working knowledge of labor law basics and HR best practices.

• Self-starter with a proactive, hands-on approach.

• Experience organizing events, workshops, or engagement programs is a strong plus.

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Human Resources, or a related field.

• Willingness and ability to work onsite in Karachi during the 6:00 PM to 3:00 AM shift.

What We're Looking For

Someone who's excited to build the people function from scratch, comfortable owning both the strategic side culture, hiring, and feedback and the operational side records and coordination with the ability to hire technical talent and navigate international recruitment.
