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
7-10 years in HR or People roles, with meaningful time at an early-stage tech startup (Series A–C range)
You've seen a company grow 2x–5x headcount and know what breaks if you don't build ahead of it
Hands-on experience hiring for technical and non technical roles in India and US
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
You've selected and implemented HRIS tools and built people processes without a big team behind you
Clear, direct communicator with candidates, with employees, and with leadership
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
