Why Statiq?

Statiq was born with the idea of making sustainable transportation a reality in developing countries. It is a new-age start-up, leading the EV movement in India, by setting up chargers across the country. Statiq was named as one of the top 3 most promising start-ups by NASSCOM in the year 2020; it was the same year we got selected for Y Combinator, a Silicon Valley based accelerator program.

About the Role:

Statiq is building India’s most reliable EV charging network, and that network is only as strong as our ability to deploy it quickly, on budget and at scale. The South Operations Head will own multi-state site rollout and delivery across all South Indian states, Maharashtra, Gujarat and the East, with about 9 Project Managers reporting directly. You will be accountable for getting sites delivered within turnaround time, clearing holds, and keeping cost per site under control.

This is a senior, high-ownership leadership role for someone who has run large field rollouts across states, knows how to unblock DISCOM and vendor bottlenecks, and manages the region through data rather than anecdotes.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

- Own regional delivery: Lead end-to-end site rollout across the region, from site handover and civil and electrical work to DISCOM connection, commissioning and go-live, ensuring delivery within agreed turnaround times.
- Lead the PM team: Manage and develop about 9 direct-report Project Managers (and their field teams) across states, setting clear delivery, turnaround and cost targets, reviewing performance regularly and building a strong second line.
- Transparent holds and unblock approvals: Track every stalled site, identify the root cause (DISCOM, landlord, civil, vendor, material or permits) and drive resolution quickly through escalation and stakeholder relationships.




- Manage DISCOM relationships: Build and maintain working relationships with DISCOMs across the region, accelerating connections, load sanctions and approvals, and stepping personally when approvals are stuck.
- Build and govern the vendor base: Develop, rate and review the regional vendor base on quality, speed and cost. Work with SCM to negotiate rates and secure capacity, so rollouts are never constrained by contractor's availability.
- Run the region on data: Use dashboards to track delivery against plan, holds, ageing, cost per site and vendor performance, and report clear insights, risks and corrective actions to leadership.
- Control cost and quality: Drive output against cost by managing site budgets, standardizing specifications and execution practices, and eliminating rework and avoidable delays.
- Collaborate cross-functional: Work closely with Land, BD, Technical, SCM, Finance and Operations to ensure sites are ready for deployment and handed over smoothly for stabilisation.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

- Experience: 10 to 15 years of experience in project delivery or field rollouts, with at least 4 years leading teams. Proven record of running multi-state rollouts at scale and delivering against turnaround and cost targets.
- Industry: Multi-state field rollout experience in EV charging, telecom, solar or retail infrastructure. Backgrounds in other asset-heavy,



multi-site deployment businesses will be considered.
- Core skill: Demonstrated ability to run 8 to 15 field Project Managers across states, driving them to delivery and turnaround targets through clear accountability, regular reviews and hands-on escalation.
- DISCOM relationships: Strong working relationships with DISCOMs across the region and a track record of unblocking stuck approvals, connections and load sanctions.
- Vendor management: Experience building and rating a regional vendor base and negotiating rates and capacity with SCM, with sound commercial judgement on contractor performance.
- Data and tools: Comfortable running a region from dashboards tracking delivery, holds and cost per site. Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills, with experience in BI tools (Power BI or Tableau), project tracking tools and ERP systems.
- Education: BE or B.Tech in Electrical or Civil Engineering; an MBA is a plus.
- Languages and travel: Fluent English and Hindi; knowledge of one South Indian language is preferred. Frequent travel across states is required.
- Personal attributes: Ownership-driven, hands-on and calm under pressure, with strong stakeholder management and a bias for action.
