Job Description

About Zinnov

Zinnov is a global management consulting firm that helps organizations make decisions that actually get used — and deliver results that matter. For over two decades, we’ve partnered with leading enterprises, high-growth technology companies, and investors to answer some of the toughest questions they face:

  • Where should we invest?

  • How do we scale globally?

  • What capabilities will win in the next decade?

Our work shapes market entry strategies, global operating models, M&A decisions, and long-term growth bets. We’re known for being data-led, execution-focused, and outcome-driven — not opinion-heavy slideware.

At Zinnov, how you work matters as much as what you deliver. We value independent thinking, crisp communication, and early ownership. With 450+ professionals across 10 global offices, we work across industries including Digital Services, ER&D, Enterprise Software, Semiconductors, Healthcare, BFSI, Automotive, Media & Telecom, and Private Equity.

Zinnov isn’t for everyone. It’s for people who want steep learning curves, honest feedback, and the chance to see their work influence real business decisions — not just presentations.

Why Globalisation Excellence (GE) 

Zinnov’s Globalisation Excellence (GE) practice helps enterprises build and scale Global Capability Centers (GCCs) end-to-end — from Design & Discovery to Build, Scale, and Run. 

  • In GE, you don’t work in silos. You: 
  • Own complex, end-to-end client journeys 
  • Work across GCC advisory, managed services, and BOT / outsourcing models 
  • Influence leadership decisions that shape long-term talent and operating strategies 

This is where strategy meets execution — and where talent plays a defining role. 

About the Role 

As People Success Partner (HRBP) – Associate Director / Director, you will own the full spectrum of people strategy and execution for a large, high-velocity operations environment (1000+ employee scale). This role is designed for a strategic, results-oriented HR leader who can independently drive people interventions that improve talent outcomes, culture, engagement, and operational performance — while serving as a trusted advisor to senior leadership. 

You will blend strategic influence with hands-on execution, using data, diagnostics, and strong stakeholder partnership to drive measurable improvements across attrition, productivity, employee experience, and capability building. 

What You’ll Do 

Strategic HR Leadership 

  • Integrate people strategy with business priorities to enable growth, operational efficiency, and talent scalability. 
  • Act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, shaping people decisions with context, clarity, and strong judgment. 
  • Drive org-wide HR priorities with tight governance, ownership, and predictable execution. 

 People Experience & Culture 

  • Continuously monitor employee sentiment through pulse mechanisms, health checks, exit insights, and structured listening forums. 
  • Design and run engagement initiatives that reinforce a collaborative, high-performance culture. 
  • Counsel leadership on recognition frameworks, culture reinforcement, and engagement best practices. 

 Talent Optimization & HR Analytics 

  • Use advanced analytics to inform workforce planning and talent decisions. 
  • Drive outcomes such as reduced attrition, improved productivity, and higher employee satisfaction through insight-led interventions. 
  • Build and communicate decision-ready dashboards and HR metrics for executive forums. 

 Performance Excellence & Learning Enablement 

  • Partner with leaders to implement high-impact performance management systems and continuous feedback rhythms. 
  • Champion talent assessments and targeted learning interventions to close skill gaps and elevate performance. 
  • Influence managers to strengthen coaching quality, role clarity, and career development conversations.
