We are looking for a strategic, hands-on HR Lead to build further and lead ORIL’s HR and Recruitment function as we scale. This is a leadership role with full ownership — from talent acquisition and team building to compensation strategy and international expansion groundwork.
We see this role as one of the company’s key leadership functions. A business-oriented mindset, strong ownership, and accountability for outcomes are essential for success.
If you know what good recruitment looks like in a competitive market, and want to own the function rather than just run it — let’s talk.
What will you do?
Lead and develop the internal HR & Recruitment team (3–5 people): set goals, run 1:1s, track performance.
Own the full talent acquisition function: sourcing strategy, freelance recruiter & staffing agencies network, and direct hiring pipelines.
Develop employee retention & growth strategies: build early-warning systems, improve regular 1:1 best practices, and implement career growth frameworks.
Proactively monitor market trends through research to adjust HR & Recruiting approaches accordingly.
Own and develop the Culture Index methodology across the company — from hiring to team composition and communication.
Act as a key stakeholder of the EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) framework within the company, driving its alignment through people and cultural initiatives.
Continuously adjust the company’s compensation strategy and benefits packages benchmarked to the market.
Partner with the Finance team to implement and communicate workplace regulations, including Diya.City frameworks.
Lead the strategic groundwork for international talent acquisition by researching potential locations, working conditions, and contracting models for new offices abroad.
Process ownership. Leverage AI tools and modern HRMS platforms to automate routine tasks, improve workflows, and enhance the overall employee experience.
What do we expect?

Strategic HR Toolkit: Strong practical knowledge of compensation strategies, modern retention frameworks, and complete employee lifecycle management.
English: Upper-Intermediate or higher (fluent verbal and written communication with international advisors, partners, and candidates).
Data-Driven Mindset: You measure success via retention rates, time-to-hire, and team velocity, rather than subjective assumptions.
