HR & Operations Manager

Company Description

OneIoT is an AI-ready, modular IoT platform company headquartered at T-Hub, Hyderabad. We build fully customised IoT platforms that solve real operational challenges delivered in weeks, not months through modular architecture and AI-enabled intelligence.

We are a lean, fast-moving team working at the intersection of hardware, software, and AI deploying solutions across pharma, smart cities, logistics, and industrial sectors in India and globally. As we scale, we need our internal engine to be just as reliable as the platforms we build for our clients.

Role Description

This is a combined, high-ownership position one person, two domains. You will be responsible for both People & Culture and Office Operations at OneIoT. At a startup of our size, these two functions are deeply interconnected: the person who hires someone is also the person who ensures their workstation is ready, their onboarding is seamless, and their day-to-day work environment runs without friction.

We are not splitting this into two separate hires. We are looking for one versatile, organised, and people-smart professional who can hold both mandates with equal care and competence. If you thrive in an environment where no two days look the same, you are energised by people as much as by process, and you take pride in being the person who just makes things work this role is for you.
