Job Description

About the Role:

n

We are looking for a seasoned manufacturing operations professional to join our Corporate Office as DGM – Manufacturing Operations. This is a high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of plant execution and corporate oversight — the incumbent will be the critical link between our factory floors and leadership, translating on-ground production, engineering, utility, and ETP performance into actionable insights, governance, and strategic direction for the Manufacturing Head.

n

This role is ideal for someone who has grown through hands-on plant leadership and is now ready to operate at a multi-site, strategic level — driving consistency, compliance, and operational excellence across the manufacturing network without being tied to a single location.

n

Key Responsibilities:

n

Cross-Functional Plant Oversight:

n

n
- Act as the corporate anchor for Production, Utility, Engineering, and ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant) functions across all manufacturing units.
n
- Partner closely with factory-level stakeholders (Plant Heads, Production Managers, Engineering & Utility Leads, EHS teams) to gather performance data, track KPIs, and understand ground realities.
n

n

Reporting & MIS:

n

n
- Consolidate and analyze production output, utility consumption, engineering downtime, and ETP compliance data from multiple plants into structured reports for the Manufacturing Head.
n
- Build and maintain dashboards/MIS systems that give leadership real-time visibility into plant performance, bottlenecks, and risks.
n
- Flag deviations, trends, and improvement opportunities proactively — not just report numbers but interpret them.
n

n

Operational Governance:

n

n
- Drive standardization of processes, SOPs, and best practices across factories in production, utility management, engineering maintenance, and effluent treatment.
n
- Support root-cause analysis and corrective action tracking for recurring production, utility, or
n

n

ETP-related issues.

n

● Monitor regulatory and environmental compliance (especially ETP/effluent norms) across sites and escalate risks promptly.

n





Strategic Support to Manufacturing Head:

n

n
- Prepare data-backed presentations, reviews, and business cases to support capacity planning, capex decisions, and operational strategy.
n
- Coordinate cross-site projects — capacity expansion, engineering upgrades, utility optimization, ETP modernization — from a corporate vantage point.
n
- Represent the Manufacturing Head in plant reviews, audits, and stakeholder meetings as required.
n

n

Stakeholder Management:

n

n
- Build solid working relationships with plant leadership teams to ensure timely, accurate, and complete information flow.
n
- Bridge the gap between corporate expectations and plant execution realities, ensuring alignment on priorities.
n

n

Experience:

n

n
- 15-20 years of progressive experience in manufacturing/plant operations with API & Excipient plant experience would be preferred.
n
- Demonstrated exposure across Production, Utility, Engineering, and ETP functions either through direct ownership or close cross-functional collaboration.
n
- Prior experience working with or reporting into corporate/HO functions is a strong plus.
n

n

Education:

n

● B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Chemical, or master's in science specifically in Organic or Chemical production from a reputed university. (Master's/MBA preferred but not mandatory).

n

Skills & Competencies:

n

n
- Strong analytical ability comfortable working with plant data, KPIs, and building reports/dashboards that drive decisions.
n
- Excellent stakeholder management skills; able to work with and influence plant teams without direct line authority.
n
- Sound understanding of manufacturing compliance, EHS, and effluent treatment norms.
n




- Strong communication and presentation skills able to distill complex plant issues into clear, leadership-ready narratives.
n
- High ownership mindset with the ability to operate independently in a corporate, multi-site oversight role.
n

n

Why This Role:

n

This position offers the rare opportunity to influence manufacturing outcomes at a network level shaping how Production, Utility, Engineering, and ETP functions perform across the organization, while working directly with senior leadership. It's a natural next step for a plant leader ready to trade a single-site P&L; view for enterprise-wide impact.
