Director — ESG & Reporting

ESG, BRSR & Disclosures

Lead Full-Time Remote (India preferred) / Guwahati Permanent

Compensation

INR 35 - 55 LPA + equity.

Engagement

Full-Time

Permanent role. Full-time commitment. Remote-first, with periodic in-person off-sites.

Scope of role

Set direction within your domain. Build and mentor a team. Own outcomes at the function level.

01 — The role

Why this role exists at EduRankAI

Own the ESG reporting machine. BRSR, GRI, SASB, TCFD, voluntary disclosures, ratings agencies. The auditable numbers and the narrative around them. This is the role where every number you publish has to survive an external auditor, a hostile rating agency, and a regulator reading it carefully. The reporting is the credibility — there is no separation.

02 — The work

What you will own

  • 01 Own the BRSR / ESG report end-to-end — data, narrative, audit, board sign-off.
  • 02 Liaise with rating agencies (MSCI, Sustainalytics, S&P) and respond to their methodologies on the record.
  • 03 Own internal ESG controls and the data lineage behind every published number.
  • 04 Coordinate climate-risk disclosure (TCFD aligned) jointly with sustainability + finance.
  • 05 Train internal teams on what counts as ESG-relevant data and what does not.
  • 06 Author the annual sustainability report — both narrative chapters and methodological appendices.

03 — The expertise

What we look for

8+ years in ESG / sustainability reportingAudit-grade rigour with numbers + narrativeGRI / SASB / TCFD / BRSR fluentFamiliar with ratings agency methodologiesStrong technical writingComfort with both regulators AND a frontier-AI scope

04 — The bar

Who thrives here

  • You have led or substantially authored at least three published BRSR or GRI reports that were independently audited.
  • You have responded to a ratings-agency questionnaire on the record and engaged in their follow-up.
  • You have authored a methodology note that survived peer review.
  • You can describe a published number you corrected after the fact, and how.
  • You write clearly enough that a board can read your appendix.

05 — How we work

The EduRankAI environment

Remote-first, async-first

Work from anywhere. We optimise for deep work, not face time. Periodic in-person off-sites for the full-time team.

High autonomy, high standards

We hire adults and trust them. You will be expected to set your own goals, communicate clearly, and ship.

Builders, not bureaucrats

We optimise for clarity over process. Make the call, ship the work, write up what you learned.

Bharat-built, globally ambitious

We are an Indian frontier AI lab. We build for India first and the world second — in that order.
