Job Description
Join us as a Manager - Feeding & Nutrition Zoo Director (Client Relations) and help us push Feeding & Nutrition Programmes - Client & Stakeholder Management forward within Zoo & Aquarium Management.
You'll be working out of Kolkata (full-time), and honestly, the day-to-day is going to revolve around Team Coordination and Record Keeping (Animal Health). We're not looking for someone who just ticks boxes - we want someone who actually cares about feeding & nutrition programmes - client & stakeholder management.
On paper, we'd expect Diploma in Animal Care Management and somewhere around 15 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 19.5-40.5 LPA - fair for the senior level band and open to discussion based on what you bring.
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 organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings. Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage.
References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week.
Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role. There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls.
New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables. The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding.
The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager. The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here.
The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function. 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 role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions.
High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months. Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done.
Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability. Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy.
Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round. The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions. 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. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management.
Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held. Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week. Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval.
