Senior Director – Technology, Business & Sustainability

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
