Job Description
We are looking to onboard a Manager - Variance & Appeals Land Use Administrator (QA) to strengthen our Variance & Appeals Processing - Quality & Compliance function within Zoning & Land Use Administration. This is a senior level opening based out of Chandigarh, offered on a leadership - full-time basis.
The ideal candidate holds M.Plan (Urban Planning) and brings roughly 11 years of hands-on exposure to variance & appeals processing - quality & compliance. Day-to-day, the work draws heavily on Variance, Regulatory Compliance (Municipal Codes), Appeals Processing, Documentation & Records Management, and the person will be expected to apply these skills independently rather than under constant supervision.
Compensation for this position is structured around INR 18.6-33.2 LPA, in line with market standards for senior level roles within zoning & land use administration.
Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management.
The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions. 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. High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months. The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here.
New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables. There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls.
Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone. 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.
Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band. The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager.
Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process.
Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week.
The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding. Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy. A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work.
The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings. The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function.
If your background aligns with the above and you're looking for your next step in Variance & Appeals Processing - Quality & Compliance, we'd like to hear from you.
