Overview
Jhpiego is an international, non-profit health organization and an affiliate of Johns Hopkins University, dedicated to improving the health of women and families in developing countries. For over 50 years, it has focused on providing high-quality, low-cost health care solutions, training health workers, and strengthening health systems.
Jhpiego has been working in India since the 1980s in close partnership with national and state governments. With deep technical expertise and strong on-the-ground execution, Jhpiego helps design, test, and scale practical solutions and innovations that fit real-world systems across 11 thematic domains (Maternal and Newborn Health, Reproductive Health, Nutrition, Immunization, Comprehensive Primary Health Care, Human Resources for Health, TB and Infectious Diseases, Global Health Security, Women's Cancers, Non-Communicable Diseases, Digital Health).
The Manager / Senior Manager – Human Resources leads the day-to-day delivery of HR operations for a geographically dispersed workforce across India, ensuring that HR services are compliant, timely, accurate, and employee-centric. The role is the operational engine of the HR function: it runs the employee lifecycle, administers statutory compliance, and maintains HR systems and records so that the Director – HR & Administration is freed to focus on the organisation’s strategic HR transformation agenda. Reporting to and working under the direction of the Director – HR & Administration, the incumbent translates HR strategy and policy into consistent, well-executed practice on the ground. The role suits a hands-on, service-oriented, and detail-driven HR professional who takes ownership of operational delivery, applies sound judgment on routine matters, and escalates sensitive or policy-level issues appropriately.

HRIS, Records & HR MIS
- Operate and maintain the HRIS and personnel records as the single source of truth, safeguarding data accuracy, completeness, and confidentiality.
- Generate periodic HR dashboards and MIS — headcount, attrition, leave, hiring status, and compliance trackers — to support the Director’s decision-making and reporting obligations.
- Ensure timely and accurate HR data inputs for organisational, donor, and HQ reporting requirements.
Payroll Inputs, Benefits & Attendance Administration

Implementation Support to HR Transformation
- Provide execution and implementation support to the HR transformation, digitisation, and process-improvement initiatives led by the Director — including rolling out new systems, SOPs, and policies, and embedding them into day-to-day operations.
- Identify and surface operational pain points and improvement opportunities from frontline delivery to inform the Director’s strategic priorities.
