At YourNest - People Capability Lead (4-6 yrs)

Job Description: People Capability Lead at YourNest With over 100,000 startups, there is no dearth of quantity in India.

- The challenge lies in spotting potential winners and shaping them to become unicorns that will change how we live and work, as well as reward investors.

- At YourNest, we've been scouting for diamonds in the rough since 2011: with three funds adding up to $100 mn, being the first to focus on DeepTech startups and ensuring we remain among India's best-performing early-stage funds, we've made it a habit to set new benchmarks in the country's venture capital sector.

- We've helped build startups by infusing our unique 'nurture capital' and enabling them to scale into global markets.

- We've done this thanks to an enterprising team of committed young people who work closely with our founders to help them succeed.

- Now we're hiring a People Capability Lead to join us in this mission.

- The role will be vital in realizing our brand vision, embodying and promoting the nurturing of success in every facet of work.

- Designing and implementing a comprehensive performance management framework that aligns with our belief of nurturing success.

- Creating and rolling out of talent development programs

- Implementation of culture-building initiatives that result in strengthened internal alignment with core values.

- Measurable improvement in organisational productivity and performance.

- Enhanced knowledge-sharing practices and frameworks introduced to support portfolio companies.

- Establishment of robust channels for feedback and continuous improvement, fostering an environment of trust and growth.

What skills and mindset will help you succeed?
