Job Description
Specialist Community Outreach (Conservation) Field Researcher | Kolkata | INR 4.9-20.1 LPA
Community Outreach (Conservation) - Fundamentals role, mid level, hybrid.
Need: Ph.D (Wildlife Biology), 6+ yrs.
Core skills: Habitat Assessment, Data Analysis (Ecological), Community Outreach (Conservation), Regulatory Compliance (Wildlife Protection Act), Animal Behaviour Studies.
If this fits your profile in community outreach (conservation) - fundamentals, apply now.
Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable.
References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process. A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work.
The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. 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. No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions. Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process.
Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held. Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round.
The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week. Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership.
There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management. Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone.
The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction.
Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role. Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval.
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.
High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months. The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings.
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.
Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay. Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role.
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.
