Job Description
Utility Billing & Metering Services is looking for an experienced Smart Metering Deployment Billing Operations Manager to take ownership of the Smart Metering Deployment - Fundamentals charter at a mid 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 7 years of progressively senior experience, holding Any Graduate + Utility Certification, with a demonstrated track record across Smart Metering Deployment, Field Data Verification, Revenue Assurance, Fundamentals, Billing System Software. 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 Remote (Pan India) on a full-time (wfh) arrangement. Compensation is benchmarked at INR 11.5-21.8 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 smart metering deployment - fundamentals.
The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. 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. No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions.
In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments. Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay.
Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable.
Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role. The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions.
Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round. Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week. High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months.
The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function. Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held.
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.
The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding. New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables.
Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band. Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership.
Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role. Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process.
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 environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here.
