Director, India (Statutory Board Director & General Manager) at Zapier

Hi there!

We're looking for a Director, India to serve as the senior-most, India-based leader of Zapier's India entity, acting as both a statutory Board Director and General Manager. This is a pivotal role at a formative stage of our India presence: you'll ensure full legal, tax, and regulatory compliance for our India entity while also serving as the bridge between Zapier's global strategy and its execution on the ground.

You'll report to Ryan Roccon, our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and partner closely with our India-based managers, our Operating Committee, and our external advisors at Deloitte. You'll own India operations as the accountable local leader, drive delivery and performance across India-based functions, and represent the entity to auditors and regulators.

• Serve as the primary liaison between Zapier's India operations and global leadership, ensuring alignment and coordination and escalating key issues to the executive team.
• Lead overall India operations, translating global strategy into local execution and providing regular updates to US leadership.
• Serve as the senior-most site leader for all India-based employees, establishing governance rhythms and driving a high-performance, high-autonomy, values-driven 100% remote team.
• Act as a statutory Board Director for Zapier India: attend board meetings, approve minutes and resolutions, and sign statutory filings.
• Ensure full statutory, tax, and financial compliance of the Indian legal entity, and serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors and Indian regulatory authorities.
• Partner with Deloitte and internal finance on tax filings, audits, transfer pricing, and other regulatory matters.
• Own all India people decisions: hiring, compensation, performance, and terminations, while functional managers continue to run day-to-day work for their teams.
• Partner with HR on people strategy, talent decisions, employee relations, and local policy implementation, and ensure compliance with Indian labor law, including POSH and state-specific requirements.
• Manage local vendor relationships for Zapier's India presence.
• Identify, monitor, and mitigate key risks to Zapier's India operations.
