HR Manager

• *THE SHORT VERSION**

We are looking for an HR Manager to lead and elevate Alltex's people function as we expand across new segments of the textile value chain. You will own hiring, HR operations, culture, and people strategy across our trade desk, our operations, and the new verticals we are building. You will partner directly with leadership on what comes next.

You will have the autonomy to experiment, to bring new ideas on board, and to bring creative solutions to traditional problems. The textile industry is a traditional one, and we are looking to elevate how it operates. There will be challenges: understanding how the business has worked for years, and implementing modern solutions inside a long\-running operation.

If you have led HR operations end\-to\-end (or are passionate about doing so), if you appreciate challenges, and if you have a knack for solving complex problems with creative solutions, this role was designed for you.

• *WHO WE ARE**

Alltex Exim Pvt Ltd was founded in 2010 in Surat, the textile capital of India. We are an export import house in the textile industry, connecting India's leading mills to global markets and bringing world\-class textiles back into India. We are headquartered in Surat and have exported to 13\+ markets, with offices in Egypt and Bangladesh.

We have 10\+ year partnerships with top textile manufacturers across Asia, and today we are one of the largest importers of polyester yarn in the country. Our portfolio spans polyester yarn, cotton yarn, dyed yarn, nylon yarn, PET chips, and many other yarn variants, across 35\+ global partners. We are not a startup. We are a 15\-year\-old, profitable company now preparing for its next chapter.

• *WHAT WE'RE BUILDING NEXT**

Our core export import operation remains our anchor. Over the next three years we are expanding into multiple adjacent segments of the textile value chain, including specialty and technical textiles, petrochemicals, value\-added yarn processing, and selective forward and backward integration with our trading partners. In practical terms, this means new sourcing capabilities, new sales motions, new operational footprints, and new types of roles we have not hired for before.

We need an HR Manager to bring that workforce on board and to put the systems, culture, and policies in place that hold the wider company together as we grow. The first 12 months will set the tone for how Alltex feels and operates for the decades ahead.

• *WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT**

• You will be the senior\-most People person in the company. You report directly to leadership and own org design, headcount forecasting, and people strategy across the business. No bureaucracy between you and the decisions that matter.
• You lead, you do not just operate. You have the freedom to bring your ideas forward, to formalise, elevate, and own the function as the senior decision\-maker on people.
• Technologically driven, AI\-native by default. We expect the next generation of HR work to be done with AI in the loop: sourcing, screening, drafting, analytics. We also want someone who can automate processes within the company itself and solve traditional problems with creative solutions.
• Leadership access. Direct visibility, fast decisions, no consensus theatre. We hire for ownership and trust the people we hire.
• A profitable, established business as your runway, not an experiment. You get the autonomy of a builder role with the stability of a 30\-year\-old company that knows its industry.

• *WHAT YOU'LL OWN**

• *Talent \& Hiring**

• Own end\-to\-end hiring across IT and Non\-IT: accounts, logistics, sales, trading, industry experts, and the new textile segments we are scaling into.
• Build the sourcing playbook, including headhunting for trade and senior leadership in the industry, and college tie\-ups for fresh talent.
• Design structured interview loops, scorecards, and offer flow.
• Lead employer\-branding work in partnership with marketing. Make Alltex a place ambitious people in the country actively want to join.

• *People Operations**

• Run the employee lifecycle from joining to exit: onboarding, documentation, induction, transitions, full and final.
• Stand up our HRMS: pick the platform, implement it, and make it a system of record the business actually uses.
• Author the Alltex Employee Handbook.

• *Culture, Engagement \& Performance**

• Design and run a performance management system: KRAs, review cycles, career paths, calibration.
• Build engagement initiatives that resonate: recognition, learning, milestones, listening loops.
• Own the employee voice. Be the person leadership trusts to surface what is really happening on the ground.

• *Strategy \& Leadership Partnership**

• Partner with leadership on manpower planning across the core trading business and the new segments we are scaling.
• Bring a builder's instinct: identify gaps, propose frameworks, ship them.
• Be the first reader of Alltex's culture. Shape it intentionally.

• *WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR**

• 2\+ years of progressive HR experience across both Talent Acquisition and HR Operations. We will go a year or two below if you have built something from scratch and led people.
• Direct experience hiring across IT and Non\-IT roles.
• Owned an HRMS or ATS implementation, not just used one as a contributor.
• Drafted policies, not just enforced them.
• Comfort in a leaner, less\-instrumented setup.
• A working fluency with AI tools: Claude, ChatGPT, LinkedIn Recruiter, HR analytics.
• A founder's sense of ownership. You take projects from blank page to live use, then iterate.
• Strong communication in English and Hindi.
• Comfort with Surat as a living location.

• *WHAT YOU'LL GET**

• Direct partnership with leadership. Real decision rights from week one.
• A clear path to broader scope as Alltex grows.
• The rare chance to take a category\-defining textile business into its next chapter, with your fingerprints on it.
