Job Description
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is looking for an experienced Director – AI Compliance & Ethics to take ownership of the AI Governance & Compliance charter at a senior level. This is a role for someone who has already operated at scale and is comfortable setting direction rather than simply following one.
The successful candidate will bring approximately 9 years of progressively senior experience, holding Ph.D (AI), with a demonstrated track record across Data Preprocessing, Python, Machine Learning, Compliance, Cloud Platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure). Beyond individual capability, this role expects the person to mentor junior team members and represent the function in cross-departmental discussions.
Reporting relationships will be defined based on the final scope agreed at offer stage, and the role is based out of Kolkata on a full-time arrangement. Compensation is benchmarked at INR 15.1-58.0 LPA, reflecting the seniority and scope of the position.
Success in this role will be measured less by task completion and more by the quality of judgement applied to ambiguous, high-stakes situations within ai governance & compliance.
Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage.
Mornings are usually spent on planning and status reviews, while the rest of the day is given over to hands-on delivery and problem-solving. Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management.
Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week. Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role.
Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week. Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round. The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here.
The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings. High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months.
In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments. No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions.
A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work. The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager. Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay.
Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval. The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function.
Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy. Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns.
The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions. Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership.
