About Lyzr

Lyzr is an enterprise AI agent platform helping companies deploy production-grade AI faster than anywhere else. We're growing fast across product, engineering, and go-to-market and we're looking for a People leader to grow and develop the function.

This is a rare chance to own the entire people agenda at a company that's past the experimental stage but still early enough that your decisions will shape culture for years.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Design and build Lyzr's people function from the ground up — strategy, systems, and team

• Lead talent acquisition across engineering, product, sales, and operations in India and the US

• Own the full US and Canada employee experience: compensation benchmarking, health & benefits administration, 401(k), equity, and compliance

• Manage India HR operations including statutory compliance, payroll coordination, and vendor relationships

• Build performance frameworks that are lightweight, fair, and actually drive growth

• Shape culture in a distributed, async-first team defining what 'great place to work' means at Lyzr

• Partner with founders and leadership team on org design, headcount planning, and leveling

• Establish onboarding and L&D programs that help people ramp fast and grow continuously.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 12+ years as an HR / People business partner, with at least 5 years in a leadership role managing a team and a clear, progressive track record of increased scope and responsibility across multiple HR functions.

• Meaningful time inside an early-stage tech startup (Series A–C), where you've lived through 2x–5x headcount growth and know what breaks and what to build ahead of at each inflection point.

• Strong ability to operate in ambiguity: you can introduce structure without over-engineering, and you know the difference between a policy the company needs now versus one it needs in 18 months.

• Proven track record designing and running employee engagement and communications programs that move the needle on morale, performance, and retention

• Appetite for building innovative People programs and practices that create a culture of strong leaders and high-performing teams

• Experience identifying and implementing programs to keep the company compliant with applicable government regulations across jurisdictions.

• Solid working knowledge of US employment law, benefits (health, dental, vision), insurance brokers, and equity administration. You don't need to be a lawyer, but you know when to call one.

• Equivalent fluency in Indian HR operations: PF, ESIC, gratuity, POSH compliance, and labor law basics.

• Hands-on experience selecting and implementing HRIS tools and building people processes from scratch -without a large team behind you.

WHO THRIVES HERE

We're a small, focused team that moves fast and holds itself to high standards. The people who love working at Lyzr tend to share a few things:

• They prefer building over maintaining.

• They're comfortable with ambiguity and good at deciding what to prioritize without being told

• They bring warmth and rigor in equal measure : people-first values with operational precision

• They're curious about AI and excited about what it means for the future of work

• Think long-term while executing short-term
