Country Manager - India
Imagine having the power to stress-test an entire power grid against a hurricane before the clouds even gather. That is the reality we are creating at Neara.
We use advanced machine learning to create engineering-grade, physics enabled digital twins of electricity grids across four continents, this helps asset owners understand their biggest challenges and bring the most viable solutions to life across millions of kilometres of infrastructure.
By simulating extreme weather and structural stress at a network-wide scale, we empower the world’s largest utilities to pinpoint risks, optimise investments and build a more resilient global energy future.
Our team is a collection of brilliant minds who are fanatical about making a tangible difference in the real world, utilising AI and machine learning to accelerate everything from data classification to complex scenario analysis. We have built a special culture where innovation thrives because everyone owns the mission and we need smart, creative people to help us scale this impact to every corner of the globe.
As our Country Manager in India, you are responsible for two critical functions, deployment (transforming raw customer data into digital models) and solutions delivery (customising our platform using in-app tooling and implementing best-practice solutions for international customers). This is an execution-focused role, not a sales role and has end-to-end accountability for delivery.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Regional deployment operations
Own delivery performance across the India team: on time, on scope, within budget, and to a high quality standard
Drive resource planning and forecasting in partnership with global leaders
Establish and uphold standard deployment practices and quality frameworks
Solution delivery
Lead the deployment of standard solutions and support the development of new ones
Oversee project management across active engagements, ensuring clear milestones and risk visibility
Manage handover, training, and transition to customer success and support functions
Team leadership & governance
Hire, build, and develop a high-performing India team that operates at the same standard as the broader global organisation
Drive accountability through clear performance metrics and structured escalation paths
Maintain strong working relationships with cross-functional teams
WHO YOU ARE
You are a seasoned operational leader, not a salesperson, not a pure technologist, but someone with the technical grounding to get into the detail when it matters. You've built and run delivery teams in complex, data-heavy environments, you hold high standards across multiple functions simultaneously, and you don't need to be micro-managed to do it.
You can comfortably look at a deployment in trouble, quickly diagnose whether it's a data problem, a resourcing problem, a customer expectation problem, or something else and you know exactly how to get it resolved and who to involve.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
10+ years in technical delivery or operations, managing complex teams within global, multi-timezone organisations
Proven track record of building teams, structures, and processes from the ground up
Background in enterprise software or utility/infrastructure-adjacent environments preferred
You can comfortably build efficient processes grounded in actual need, no over-engineering
You give realistic timelines, push back on unreasonable commercial pressure and find creative paths forward
You know what to escalate, when to escalate and how to cut through noise
You’re comfortable working with deployment, sales, engineering, product and customer success teams
WHAT WE ARE OFFERING YOU
The opportunity to fast-track your career within an innovative, well-funded, rapidly scaling international software company. You can bring your creativity when solving complex problems and make a real impact on our business by helping us improve our processes and functionalities.
Open-minded, cooperative and proactive people, so your opinions will be heard and you’ll have the opportunity to make a difference.
A dynamic work environment, with an exceptional leadership team, vision, mission and high-performance culture.
The opportunity to work fully remotely.
