Job Description
Manufacturing is looking for an experienced Manufacturing Systems Project Director to take ownership of the Project Management (Manufacturing) 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 12 years of progressively senior experience, holding M.Tech (Manufacturing), with a demonstrated track record across Project Management (Manufacturing), Inventory & Material Planning, Safety Compliance, Production Planning, Industrial Engineering. 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 Delhi NCR on a full-time arrangement. Compensation is benchmarked at INR 34.3-72.4 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 project management (manufacturing).
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.
The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding. 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.
Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls.
Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round. References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process. Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band.
The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions. Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process.
New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables. Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership.
The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings. Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone. Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy.
