Location: Corporate Office

Reporting To: Executive Director (ED) & Managing Director (MD)

Experience: 15 20 Years

About the Role

We are looking for a highly accomplished, senior-level professional to work directly with the Executive Director and Managing Director and serve as a key member of the Executive Office. This is a high-impact role for a professional who can operate across the organization, coordinate with senior leadership, drive follow-up and execution, and ensure that key priorities of the ED and MD are effectively translated into action. The successful candidate will act as a central coordination link between the Executive Office, Plant Heads, Corporate Functional Heads and other senior stakeholders across the organization. This is not a conventional Executive Assistant position. The role requires strong business understanding, leadership maturity, exceptional coordination skills and the confidence to engage with senior management across multiple locations.

Key Responsibilities

• Work directly with the ED and MD on key strategic, business and operational priorities.
• Coordinate with Plant Heads and Corporate Functional Heads on critical assignments, projects and management priorities.
• Ensure systematic follow-up and closure of instructions and action points originating from the Executive Office.
• Coordinate management meetings, business reviews, plant reviews and strategic discussions.
• Prepare and coordinate meeting agendas, presentations, briefing notes, minutes and action trackers.
• Monitor critical projects, initiatives and organizational priorities and provide regular updates to the ED and MD.
• Coordinate the collection, consolidation and timely submission of key MIS and management reports.
• Support the ED and MD with business reviews, analysis and decision-making information.
• Coordinate the annual budgeting and business-planning process with plants and corporate functions.
• Track major projects, CAPEX, expansion initiatives and other strategic priorities.
• Identify delays, bottlenecks and critical risks and elevate matters requiring leadership intervention.
• Coordinate official travel, plant visits and important meetings of the ED and MD.
• Prepare briefing notes and ensure proper follow-up on commitments arising from meetings and visits.
• Maintain a central dashboard of key priorities, decisions, action points and pending matters.
• Handle highly confidential business information with complete professionalism and discretion.

Candidate Profile

• 1520 years of relevant experience, preferably in a large manufacturing, industrial or multi-location organization.
• Experience in an Executive Office, Chief of Staff, Corporate Strategy, Business Planning, Operations Excellence or senior business coordination role.
• Strong exposure to working directly with senior management and leadership teams.
• Excellent understanding of business operations, financial reporting, budgets and management information systems.
• Exceptional communication, presentation and stakeholder-management skills.
• Strong ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent follow-up, coordination and execution capabilities.
• The confidence and maturity to interact effectively with Plant Heads and senior functional leaders.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
• High levels of ownership, integrity, confidentiality and professional discretion.

Education

MBA or equivalent postgraduate qualification preferred. Candidates with an Engineering and Management background will be an added advantage.

What We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate will be a business-minded, highly disciplined and proactive professional who can bring structure, accountability and execution discipline to the Executive Office. The person should be comfortable working with multiple stakeholders across different locations and should have the ability to independently drive follow-ups, obtain updates, identify delays and ensure timely closure of critical matters. This role offers an opportunity to work closely with the ED and MD and gain broad exposure to the strategic, operational and financial functioning of a large organization. Interested candidates may apply with their updated profile, clearly highlighting their experience in senior management coordination, multi-location operations, business planning and execution.
