Role Overview
As Sr. HR Business Partner (People Business Partner) at RZR, you will serve as the primary strategic People partner for our teams in India, working directly with regional leadership to align people strategy with business goals. This role is critical to enabling planned growth by building strong people practices, driving performance, ensuring compliance, and improving day-to-day organizational effectiveness in-region.
This is a highly embedded, hands-on role. You will work alongside GMs and functional leaders to manage employee relations, run performance cycles, build retention programs, and shape how the organization scales — with a clear mandate to make people decisions that move the business forward.
The ideal candidate brings deep HRBP experience, strong commercial instincts, and the confidence to influence and challenge senior leaders. This role offers high visibility and direct impact on how a key international market grows and performs.

Why Join RZR?
* High-impact, embedded ownership — not a shared services role — you will be the sole Sr. HR Business Partner for the India region, with a direct line to regional leadership and a real mandate to shape how the business runs from a people perspective. * Own the full HRBP scope — performance management, employee relations, retention, organizational design, talent planning, and manager capability are all yours to own and build, not manage from a distance. * Autonomy to build from scratch — you will have the freedom to design programs, improve processes, and create structure where none exists today, with the visibility to influence decisions at leadership level. * True strategic partnership in a performance-driven environment — without the politics of a large HR function. Your work has direct bearing on how the India region grows and performs. * A function that keeps growing — as the region scales, this role becomes the foundation for a broader People team, with a clear path toward leading it.
