Job Description
**Senior Automation & IoT Operations Executive (Ops)** | Pune | Full-time | INR 22.7-39.5 LPA
**About the role:**
- Position within Automation & IoT for Farming - Operations & Execution, under the Urban Agriculture & Vertical Farming vertical
- Level: senior level
- Reports to the functional head for Automation & IoT for Farming - Operations & Execution
**What you'll do:**
- Handle core automation & iot for farming - operations & execution activities on a day-to-day basis
- Use Data Analysis (Farm Metrics) regularly as part of core deliverables
- Work closely with adjacent teams to align priorities
- Track progress against agreed timelines and escalate issues proactively
**What you'll need:**
- Data Analysis (Farm Metrics)
- Operations
- Crop Yield Optimisation
- IoT for Farming
- Automation
- Sustainability Reporting
- Execution
- M.Tech (Controlled Environment Agriculture)
- 9+ years of relevant experience
**Good to know:**
- 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.
- Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy. Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role.
- Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction. Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band.
- Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held. The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions.
- References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process. The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager. The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions.
- Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role. 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. The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management.
- 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.
- No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions. Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone. Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round.
- Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process. Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay.
- The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here. In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments.
- Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week.
- Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns. 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 package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage.
- Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval. Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable.
