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.

• Competitive salary
