Are you driven to eliminate manual toil through smart automation — while having the discipline to say no when the real fix lies upstream? Then join our mission to pioneer smarter water solutions that reduce energy use and improve lives.

As our new Team Lead, Automation and Digital Workplace, you'll be leading a team that builds, maintains and governs HR automation and digital workplace solutions that keep People Solutions running smoothly across Grundfos India. You'll be part of a diverse, supportive and inclusive culture, that celebrates our differences and puts people first by fostering growth, well-being, and a sense of belonging.

What you will be doing

As a key part of the HR Automation and Digital Products team, you'll create impact by turning fragile manual processes into measurable, maintained automation that frees HR colleagues to focus on work that actually needs a human.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Lead the design, build and lifecycle management of automation solutions for named HR processes, ensuring manual effort falls measurably
• Protect build capacity from operational interruption and vice versa, keeping a clear boundary between project work and production support
• Triage incoming automation requests — improving, declining or redirecting them — and maintain a transparent log of decisions with rationale
• Retire unsupported or redundant solutions before they accumulate technical debt, even when stakeholders are attached to them
• Take ownership of inherited or unfinished automations and make them maintainable without unnecessary rewrites
• Hold quality and supportability standards across the automation estate, ensuring every production job has a clear owner and operational design from day one

What makes you a great fit

Above all, you're a pragmatic automation leader who knows when not to automate, balances build and run without letting one consume the other, and holds quality standards through influence rather than authority. We'd also imagine that you are/have:

• Master's degree or equivalent work experience with 6+ years in HR operations, process automation or digital workplace roles
• Hands-on experience with automation platforms (e.g., Power Automate, UiPath or similar) and the judgement to know when custom code is not warranted
• Proven ability to manage an automation estate end-to-end — from intake and build through production support and retirement
• Track record of influencing quality standards across teams where you hold no direct authority

It's a plus if you also:

• Experience in a large manufacturing or industrial environment
• Familiarity with HR systems such as SAP SuccessFactors or ServiceNow HRSD
• Background leading small teams through a transition from prototype culture to sustained, supported products

Why you'll love working here

Day to day, you can look forward to:

• A working environment built around your needs, with flexible hours, home working opportunities and parental support.
• Annual bonuses, health insurance and a strong focus on well-being activities.
• Three days' additional paid leave for volunteering.
• On-demand training and structured development programmes to support your growth.

Valuing our differences helps us see possibilities where others can't. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from all abilities, experiences, and backgrounds. As part of our commitment to a safe and compliant hiring process, final candidates may be required to undergo a background check, subject to applicable local laws and regulations.
