# Head of People > 2070Health · Delhi, India · — · Posted 2026-06-18 **Workplace:** on_site **Department:** Xponentiate ## Description **This job is not for 2070 Health **Building the Culture and Leadership Behind a New Kind of Mental Healthcare Platform **Why This Role Exists** Sukoon is building something rare - a mental healthcare system that is not only clinically strong, but deeply human, consistent, and scalable. As we grow from ~100 to 1000+ beds, the single biggest risk is not capital or infrastructure. It’s people. This role exists to ensure that as we scale: - We don’t dilute care - We don’t lose our culture - And we build leaders faster than we build beds ## Requirements **What You Will Be Responsible For** This is not a traditional HR role. You will be responsible for building the human system that allows Sukoon to deliver great care - consistently, across multiple locations. **1\. Defining and Protecting the Culture** You will shape what “great care” actually looks like in behaviour: - How staff speak to patients and families - How teams work together under pressure - How leaders make decisions And then ensure this shows up everywhere - not just in one flagship unit **2\. Hiring People Who Actually Fit This Model** We are not just hiring for credentials. We are hiring people who can: - Handle complexity and emotional intensity - Work in teams (not silos) - Deliver high standards without losing empathy You will build the engine that finds and selects these people - repeatedly. **3\. Building Leaders, Not Just Teams** As we scale, we will need: - Strong unit heads - Confident clinical leaders - Operators who can run facilities independently You will identify, coach, and grow this leadership bench. Because scale will fail without it. **4\. Making Sukoon a Place People Want to Stay** Mental healthcare is demanding. Burnout is real. You will ensure: - People feel supported, not stretched - Good people stay and grow - The environment remains serious, but humane **5\. Creating Clarity and Accountability** Great culture is not “soft.” You will help build: - Clear expectations - Honest feedback loops - The ability to deal with underperformance early So that high standards are maintained without confusion. **6\. Working Hand-in-Hand with Operations** You and the Head of Operations will be tightly linked. - They build the system - You build the people who make it work Together, you ensure that: - Units run well - Teams function well - And patients get the care they deserve **Who This Role Is For** - This role is for someone who: - Has built or scaled teams across multiple locations - Understands that culture is not slogans - it’s behaviour - Is comfortable working closely with clinicians and operators - Can be both thoughtful and decisive And most importantly: Someone who believes that how people behave inside a hospital directly shapes patient outcomes **What Success Looks Like** - You walk into any Sukoon unit - and it feels the same - Patients and families trust the people, not just the brand - Unit leaders don’t need constant supervision - they step up - Hiring gets easier because Sukoon has a reputation - Good people stay, grow, and bring others with them ## Benefits **Why This Role Matters** “If we get operations right, we can run hospitals. If we get people right, we can build a system that truly changes lives.” This is a chance to build the people engine behind one of the most ambitious mental healthcare platforms in the region. ## Apply [Apply at 2070Health](https://apply.workable.com/2070health/j/9870DB0F0D/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
