Job Description
We're hiring a Trainee Variance & Appeals Senior Planner (Strategy) to join our growing Variance & Appeals Processing - Strategy & Planning team - if this sounds like your kind of work, read on.
You'll be working out of Hyderabad (full-time), and honestly, the day-to-day is going to revolve around Appeals Processing and Regulatory Compliance (Municipal Codes). We're not looking for someone who just ticks boxes - we want someone who actually cares about variance & appeals processing - strategy & planning.
On paper, we'd expect B.Planning and somewhere around 2 years of experience, but we're just as interested in how you think as in what's on your resume.
Pay-wise, we're offering INR 6.7-12.6 LPA - fair for the junior level band and open to discussion based on what you bring.
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.
Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership. In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments. Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week.
The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings. The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding.
The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager. The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions.
Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables.
Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval. Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held. Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band.
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.
References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process. Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability.
