HR & People Operations Associate
Company Description
CitrusCopy is an end-to-end digital growth studio headquartered in Hyderabad, focused on helping brands connect with customers through sharp positioning and measurable performance marketing. The team builds systems that turn attention into action across brand strategy, content production, UI/UX, SEO, social media, and performance marketing. CitrusCopy aligns messaging, platforms, and performance with clear business objectives such as stronger brand recall, clearer market positioning, qualified lead generation, and higher conversion rates. Strategies are structured around outcomes like improved cost per acquisition, increased lead flow, and a stronger brand perception in the market. The company values data-driven, outcome-focused marketing that drives growth aligned with each client’s business goals.
Role Overview
We're hiring an HR & People Operations Associate to own hiring and people systems as CitrusCopy scales its team. This is a full-time, foundational hire. You won't be executing someone else's process, you'll be building the process. As we grow client accounts and add specialist roles across strategy, performance marketing, design, and content, you'll be the person who ensures the team we hire is the team that can actually deliver for clients.
You'll work directly with the founders on every hiring decision. There is no HR department to shadow here. You'll be building it, on-site, alongside the people making those calls.
What You'll Be Doing
Hiring Operations
- Full ownership of the recruitment funnel across concurrent open roles, from job description to offer acceptance
- Partnering with founders and team leads to translate business need into hiring specs, not just job titles
- Building and running sourcing strategy across job boards, LinkedIn, referral networks, and passive candidate outreach
- Screening, structured first-round interviews, and coordinating technical/founder rounds
- Owning time-to-fill and offer-acceptance rate as core performance metrics, and reporting on them
- Drafting offer letters and coordinating documentation for selected candidates
- Building CitrusCopy's employer brand presence (careers page, LinkedIn hiring content, referral programs)
People Operations
- Owning onboarding end-to-end: paperwork, induction, asset setup, 30/60/90-day check-ins
- Maintaining HR documentation, policies, and compliance basics as the team scales
- Supporting performance review cycles as headcount grows
- Being an early point of contact for employee concerns and culture health
Who We're Looking For
- 1+ years of experience in recruitment or HR operations, ideally in an agency, startup, or fast-scaling environment where you owned outcomes, not just tasks
- Some track record of closing roles independently, not just sourcing and handing off
- Strong written communication. JDs, candidate correspondence, offer letters, and internal documentation all sit with you
- Comfortable operating without a playbook. You'll be building trackers, processes, and systems from scratch, not inheriting them
- Genuine interest in how an early-stage agency builds culture and team quality as a competitive advantage, not just a support function
- Based in or willing to work on-site in Hyderabad
What You'll Gain
- Full ownership of people strategy at a growth-stage studio, with direct founder access on every material decision
- A seat in strategic conversations about team structure, not just headcount execution
- Real influence over what CitrusCopy's culture becomes as it scales past its founding team
