OPERATIONS DIRECTOR | EXECUTION & GLOBAL OPERATIONS

OPERATIONS DIRECTOR | INDIA SUBSIDIARY MANAGEMENT (Non-Manufacturing, Non-Sales)

Our India subsidiary is the operational backbone connecting local market execution with China Headquarters — spanning finance, HR, compliance, and administration. We're looking for a seasoned corporate/entity operations leader to own that mandate end to end.

This is a pure execution and governance role — it does NOT carry sales targets, and it does NOT oversee manufacturing or production operations (a separate technical team handles QC/engineering). Reporting into China Headquarters, the Operations Director owns the daily corporate operations of the India entity: standardizing SOPs, coordinating finance/HR/legal compliance, and acting as the core liaison between India and the Overseas Marketing Center.

• Establish and standardize local operational SOPs; optimize cross-department (non-production) workflows
• Own daily entity operations — HQ-facing coordination of finance, HR, and legal/regulatory compliance (not manufacturing/production)
• Compile weekly/monthly/quarterly operation reports, track core KPIs, submit analysis to China HQ
• Monitor local industry, regulatory, and market dynamics; report insights to HQ (not a revenue-generating/sales function)
• Direct office administration, asset management, and daily HQ communication
• Serve as principal liaison between the India subsidiary and China's Overseas Marketing Center
• Maintain relationships with local banks, credit insurance institutions, regulators, and third-party service providers
• Build and mentor a local corporate team; not responsible for factory/manufacturing staff

You are:

• A hands-on entity operations leader with 20+ years in Telecom, Semiconductor, or Appliance/Electronics companies — in corporate office, HR, finance, or compliance leadership, not production/manufacturing management and not sales/BD.
• Substantive, hands-on experience with India government agencies and local policy bodies with the judgment to interpret policy shifts and flag risk early is essential.
• Experience supporting or reporting to a China HQ, and a working understanding of how a China-headquartered organization operates is essential.
• Local EMS senior business relationships or supplier resources are a strong plus.
• Bachelor's in Business Administration or related field (MBA preferred); fluent English, Mandarin a strong plus.
