Job description

Axis Consultants is a Dehradun-based environmental compliance consultancy working with 100+ clients across India on EPR registration and compliance for plastic, e-waste, batteries, tyres and used oil. Axis Consultants is a leading environmental compliance consultancy specializing in Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) services across India. The firm supports businesses in navigating complex waste management and environmental regulations while advancing sustainability goals. A dedicated team of environmental experts serves industrial clients across sectors, including greenfield and brownfield projects, with PAN-India operations. Core services include EPR registrations and compliances for multiple waste streams, SPCB consents, hazardous waste management, solid waste compliance for bulk generators, and CGWA/CGWB NOCs, among others. Axis Consultants offers end-to-end regulatory guidance to help organizations achieve robust, long-term compliance.

The role

We are hiring an Operations & Compliance Manager. The role takes day-to-day client and team management off the founder's plate. You will run the client-delivery team, own the compliance calendar across all our clients, and be the first escalation point when something needs to move fast. It is a build-it role: some of the processes you will run do not fully exist yet.

Key responsibilities

• Own the master compliance calendar (registrations, returns, renewals, EPR target filings) across all clients, and make sure nothing is missed
• Supervise and mentor the EPR Executives and trainees, and review their work before it goes to clients or portals
• Be the primary point of contact for clients who need regular hands‑on attention
• Track changes on the CPCB and State Pollution Control Board portals (including UKPCB) and turn them into internal process updates
• Coordinate with our consultant panel on occasional consents and clearances work
• Report weekly to the founder on client status, risks and team capacity
• Help onboard new hires as the team grows

What we are looking for

• 4–6 years in EPR compliance, environmental consulting, or a related regulatory or compliance function
• Working knowledge of the Plastic Waste Management Rules, E-Waste Rules, Battery Waste Rules and the CPCB/SPCB portals
• Complete knowledge of the various EPR Rules and CPCB Developments across different waste streams.
• Proven experience managing a small team or leading client accounts independently
• Comfortable owning a calendar where a missed filing is not an option
• Based in Dehradun or willing to relocate

Nice to have

• Prior experience at an EPR consultancy, PRO, recycler, or a brand owner's EHS/compliance team
