Vahura, the premier legal + governance talent search and strategy consulting firm in India, is looking for an internal HR specialist who is committed, curious and creative. We’re particularly interested in talking to people who think deeply about culture—how to build institutions and workplaces in a way that brings out the best in individuals and teams. ‘Mahaul’ is a Hindi/Urdu word that refers to a vibe, an atmosphere, the way the wind is blowing. We’re looking for someone who can intuitively catch the ‘mahaul’ and build on it in a way that improves talent retention, job satisfaction and well-being.
