Lead - Enterprise Data & Intelligence (Founder's Office | Group Role)
About the Group
The Group is a diversified Indian enterprise with established businesses across FMCG and flexible packaging.
Priyagold is one of India's leading FMCG businesses with an annual turnover exceeding 3,000 Crore, deep distribution reach, and strong manufacturing capabilities across biscuits, bakery products, confectionery, and packaged foods.
Surya Global Flexifilms is one of India's fastest-growing flexible packaging companies with world-class manufacturing capabilities across BOPP, BOPET, BOPE, Metalized, and specialty films, serving customers across India and global markets.
As the Group continues to scale, it is investing significantly in enterprise technology, data, automation, and Artificial Intelligence to build a modern, intelligence-led organization capable of making faster, smarter, and more informed business decisions.
About the Role
The Lead - Enterprise Data & Intelligence will work directly with the Founder to build the Group's enterprise-wide data, analytics, automation, and AI capabilities.
This is far more than a traditional Business Intelligence role. It is an opportunity to build the intelligence backbone of a rapidly growing enterprise by creating scalable data platforms, automating business processes, enabling real-time decision-making, and embedding Artificial Intelligence into everyday business operations.
This is a Group role supporting both Priyagold and Surya Global Flexifilms, with responsibility for building a unified enterprise data and intelligence capability across multiple business verticals. The successful candidate will combine deep technical expertise with strong business understanding, translating complex business challenges into scalable technology solutions across Sales, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Finance, Procurement, Marketing, HR, and other enterprise functions.
This is a highly hands-on leadership role. While the long-term mandate includes building a world-class Enterprise Data & Intelligence function, the individual must be equally comfortable writing SQL, designing data architecture, building dashboards, developing automation solutions, and leveraging AI technologies whenever required.
