What You’ll Do

- Own end-to-end operations for the business — production, quality, delivery, and cost —

with the Head of Operations reporting into this role

- Drive business development and sales strategy, with the Head of Sales reporting into this role, to grow revenue across India’s textile-industry customer base, and support its expansion into semiconductor, electronics, and aerospace
- Translate the Managing Director’s strategic priorities into an operating plan spanning both manufacturing and commercial functions
- Personally engage on key customer relationships and major new-business pursuits,

alongside the sales team

- Bring domain-informed judgment to manufacturing decisions — process choices, capacity planning, make-vs-buy, capital investment — across metal working, surface treatment, and design/engineering
- Own the business’s commercial targets — revenue growth, margin, on-time delivery, and quality — and report on them directly to the Managing Director




- Build and develop the leadership bench beneath this role, starting with the Heads of

Operations and Sales

What We’re Looking For

- 15 years of experience in strategic operations leadership within an engineering or manufacturing environment, with a track record of running a business or a major function —

not just contributing to one

- Domain expertise in metal working, surface treatment, design, and general engineering is strongly preferred
- A genuine track record in business development and sales management — comfortable owning revenue targets and customer relationships, not only operational ones
- Experience leading through functional heads rather than doing the work directly — this role manages Operations and Sales leaders, not individual contributors
- Solid commercial and P&L; judgment, and the ability to operate as a direct strategic partner to a Managing Director
