Senior Director - Technology/Business & Sustainability

Description:

A well-established, India-based organisation operating at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and enterprise is seeking a senior leader to drive organisation-wide strategy, execution, and people leadership across its core business and technology functions.

This is a high-impact, quasi-corporate leadership role with a clear succession orientation.

The position is designed for an individual who can operate as a strategic integrator and, over time, assume responsibility as the de facto head of technology-led programmes and business functions.

This position suits a leader who understands both business and technology, and who can translate innovation into commercially viable and impact-oriented outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

- Provide organisation-wide leadership across technology, innovation, and business portfolios.

- Set strategic direction, priorities, and performance frameworks for large, multi-disciplinary teams.

- Drive scale-up of technology-enabled solutions and enterprise models with clear revenue and impact outcomes.

- Ensure strong alignment between technology development, business strategy, and market deployment.

- Oversee P&L-linked initiatives, partnerships, and long-term growth opportunities.

- Build and strengthen second-line leadership; mentor senior managers and domain heads.

- Lead cross-functional collaboration between technology, operations, partnerships, and business development teams.

- Represent the organisation with senior stakeholders, partners, and clients across public and private ecosystems.

Leadership & People Management (Core Focus):

- Act as a senior institutional leader and culture carrier.

- Manage and develop senior leaders across functions and geographies.

- Drive accountability, performance management, and leadership depth.

- Create a high-trust, high-performance environment focused on outcomes and scale.

Candidate Profile:

- 15+ years of experience in senior leadership roles spanning technology, infrastructure, sustainability, consulting, or business management.

- Proven track record of managing large teams, complex portfolios, and senior stakeholders.

- Strong business acumen with the ability to understand and guide technology-driven initiatives.

- Experience working with or within private sector, consulting firms, infrastructure organisations, or scaled mission-driven enterprises.

- Comfortable operating across domains rather than within a single sector specialisation.

- Strategic thinker with strong execution orientation.

Why This Role:

- Opportunity to step into a near-CXO-level leadership role with real organisational influence.

- Clear pathway to becoming the overall leader for technology and business functions.

- High autonomy, strategic visibility, and exposure to large-scale partnerships and initiatives.

- Ideal for leaders seeking a career inflection point into enterprise-scale sustainability leadership.
