Job Description
We are looking to onboard a Head of Conservation Programme Coordination Senior Ecologist (Client Relations) to strengthen our Conservation Programme Coordination - Client & Stakeholder Management function within Zoology & Wildlife Conservation. This is a senior level opening based out of Nagpur, offered on a full-time basis.
The ideal candidate holds PG Diploma in Wildlife Management and brings roughly 9 years of hands-on exposure to conservation programme coordination - client & stakeholder management. Day-to-day, the work draws heavily on Animal Behaviour Studies, Client, Photography & Camera Trap Techniques, Conservation Programme Coordination, and the person will be expected to apply these skills independently rather than under constant supervision.
Compensation for this position is structured around INR 27.6-59.3 LPA, in line with market standards for senior level roles within zoology & wildlife conservation.
High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months. A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work. Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth.
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. Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role.
New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables. The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction.
No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions. The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding.
Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role. 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. Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week.
There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management. Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done.
There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls. In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments.
Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process. The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings.
Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns. Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round.
Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval. Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band. 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. Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held.
This role offers a genuine opportunity to build depth in Conservation Programme Coordination - Client & Stakeholder Management while working alongside an experienced team.
