Job Description

We're hiring a Head – AI Governance Frameworks to join our growing AI Governance & Compliance team - if this sounds like your kind of work, read on.

You'll be working out of Kochi (full-time), and honestly, the day-to-day is going to revolve around Natural Language Processing and Statistical Modelling. We're not looking for someone who just ticks boxes - we want someone who actually cares about ai governance & compliance.

On paper, we'd expect Ph.D (AI) and somewhere around 14 years of experience, but we're just as interested in how you think as in what's on your resume.

Pay-wise, we're offering INR 15.7-64.6 LPA - fair for the senior level band and open to discussion based on what you bring.

Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management. The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function.

There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable.

References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process. Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy. 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.

The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings. New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables.

The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager. Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role.

Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week.

Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions.

Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band. The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding.
