Job Description
**Senior Feeding & Nutrition Curator (QA)** | Hybrid - Bengaluru | Hybrid | INR 22.9-35.7 LPA
**About the role:**
- Position within Feeding & Nutrition Programmes - Quality & Compliance, under the Zoo & Aquarium Management vertical
- Level: senior level
- Reports to the functional head for Feeding & Nutrition Programmes - Quality & Compliance
**What you'll do:**
- Handle core feeding & nutrition programmes - quality & compliance activities on a day-to-day basis
- Use Team Coordination 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:**
- Team Coordination
- Feeding
- Feeding & Nutrition Programmes
- Breeding Programme Support
- Record Keeping (Animal Health)
- Nutrition Programmes
- Diploma in Animal Care Management
- 16+ years of relevant experience
**Good to know:**
- The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability.
- Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns. Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week. Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role.
- The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management.
- 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. 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.
- Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable. The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here.
- Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage.
- Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy. There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls. Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held.
- In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments. Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role.
- No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions. Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done.
- The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings. 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. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week.
- Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone. A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work. Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay.
- Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership. New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables.
