Building and Running India
Hold full accountability for Enveritas’ operations in India. This includes:

Own the India plan, budget and delivery against targets; approve contracts and field expenditure within delegated limits
Recruit, train and manage the India field team
Set the standard for data quality and sign off on what leaves the country
Own the senior relationships in India — estate owners, exporters, the Coffee Board, industry associations and partners
Surface risks to the Regional Head of Asia early, with a recommended course of action attached
Regional Operations — Indonesia and Papua New Guinea
Work alongside regional country leads on planning, budgets, field logistics and data quality
Review country plans and results with a critical eye; unblock problems the country teams cannot solve alone
Drive consistency in how operations are run across the region, without flattening what each country needs to do differently

Required

WHAT WE ARE REALLY LOOKING FOR
8–12 years of relevant experience in operations, programme delivery, consulting or a comparable field, with a substantial portion in roles carrying direct delivery accountability rather than advisory work
Proven ability to build an operation from scratch with minimal corrective guidance — standing up a country, a function or a field programme where nothing existed before
Hands-on field operations capability: comfortable personally running logistics, contracting, vendor management and field team recruitment, not only overseeing them
At least 3 years managing people directly, including managing experienced professionals and giving hard feedback
A strong academic record from a well-regarded institution, or a clear track record of exceptional work and accomplishment in its place — demonstrated calibre over credentials
Sound judgment and a sense of proportion — able to tell a real problem from a passing one, and to act without waiting to be told
Credible and composed with senior external stakeholders, from smallholder cooperatives to multinational clients and government officials
Excellent written and verbal communication; able to write a clear memo and hold a difficult conversation
Strong analytical competencies, with experience working with datasets and deriving insights using data exploration or analysis techniques; instinctively protective of data quality
Track record of working effectively in fast-paced, multicultural team environments, particularly in independent and remote settings
A genuine commitment to alleviating poverty and making the world a better place
