About Zoheb Hassan

I build the HR infrastructure that lets tech companies move fast across borders - without breaking compliance, losing talent, or bleeding money.Over 13 years, I have operated at the intersection of people operations, workforce strategy, and cross-functional collaboration across APAC, EMEA, and the Americas. My work spans the full spectrum of strategic HR: interim HR business partnering, people consulting to business leaders on performance, employee relations, and escalation handling, data-driven workforce analytics, policy design, change management, and building scalable HR operations across multiple markets.At Srijan (a Material+/ US-headquartered digital services company), I took on HRBP responsibilities alongside running a 20+ country global mobility program. I co-led the People Dashboard initiative that consolidated headcount, attrition, tenure, and hiring data into executive-ready reporting. I designed a Leave Utilisation Tracker adopted by HRBPs for billable capacity planning. I built capability development programs that delivered 82% completion rates. I wrote enforceable policy frameworks from scratch- international assignment structures, cost recovery clauses, approval matrices- that closed real compliance gaps. And I did all of this while managing a ₹1.94 crore mobility budget with zero overruns and zero compliance incidents.Before that, I built cross-market operational expertise at SKF (European manufacturing multinational) across two roles over 8 years, and sharpened compliance discipline at IBM in a hyperscaler environment processing 150+ cases annually.What I bring to the table:→ Trusted advisor to C-suite on workforce risk, cost exposure, and cross-border talent decisions→ HRBP capability: people consulting, performance support, coaching, employee relations, escalation management→ People analytics: dashboards, executive reporting, data-driven decision-making→ Zero compliance incidents across 100–150+ annual cases in high-complexity jurisdictions→ Policy design and SOP development that survives real-world stress-testing and audit→ End-to-end ownership: strategy, execution, vendor governance, budget management, leadership reporting→ Direct people management and capability buildingI am looking for my next challenge - a senior HRBP, People Operations, or HR leadership role at a tech company, GCC, or high-growth startup where strategic HR judgment matters more than process administration.
