The specialisations inside this hub

Chief Technology, Chief Information and Chief Digital Officers, the Engineering and Platform Leadership beneath them, and the Security and Data seats that now report alongside them. The Sub-Groups below separate the technology careers that are different jobs within Technology: AI and machine learning, cybersecurity, data and analytics engineering, IT infrastructure and cloud, digital transformation, and product and engineering.

107

Product & Engineering

Chief product officers, engineering directors and the software leadership beneath them — seats measured on what ships.

106

AI & Machine Learning

Seats where the artificial-intelligence estate is the mandate — the model stack, the data behind it, and the accountability for what it decides. Includes the chief data-and-AI officer seats now being created directly beneath the chief executive.

Digital Transformation

Chief digital officers and the digital platform seats — where the mandate is to change how the business runs, not to keep the systems running.

Cybersecurity

Chief information security officers and the seats around them — threat and cyber resilience, security operations, and the regulator-facing remediation work that follows a breach.

Data & Analytics Engineering

The pipeline rather than the model: chief data officers, data platform and analytics engineering leadership, and the seats accountable for whether the numbers the board reads can be trusted.

IT Infrastructure & Cloud

Cloud, network and core platform estates — the seats that carry uptime, migration and cost as the same problem.

A mandate may sit in more than one specialisation, and frequently does — a finance chief running a carve-out is both an M&A seat and a controllership seat — so these counts sum to more than the hub. That is the corpus being honest rather than the arithmetic being wrong: filing each seat under exactly one discipline would mean choosing for the reader which half of the job matters.

What a free account opens, and what Foresight adds

Reading is free here, and that is not a trial — every one of these 748 briefs opens in full without paying. What a membership buys is the ability to act on them at volume, to reach the ones outside India, and to be found by them while you are working.

Counted against the 748 open technology mandates on this page — 308 in India, 440 elsewhere. Prices are annual and all-inclusive, with GST already inside the figure shown; quarterly terms exist at a smaller allowance. Nothing on this page is behind any of them.

Why these seats are open

355

of 748 are briefed as urgent — an incumbent already gone, or going

Every mandate on the Terminal is filed with the reason it exists, which is the column no job board carries. An urgent seat is filled in weeks and is lost to timing; a planned one is briefed quietly months ahead and is lost to invisibility. The two reward opposite behaviours, and neither rewards checking a page once a week.

Closing soonest

452 of these mandates carry a published deadline, and 0 of those fall inside the next fortnight.

Where these mandates are

308 sit in India and 440 elsewhere, across 48 countries. Markets with a page of their own are linked; the rest are counted here and reachable through the directory.

Who you would report to

The most revealing line on a brief, and the one candidates most often skip. 462 distinct reporting lines appear across these mandates.

Lines named on fewer than four mandates are not shown — the tail is long by design, because a real board writes the structure it has rather than choosing from a menu.

Nothing here was scraped. No row was lifted from another site, aggregated from a careers page or bought from a feed — which matters more than it sounds, because an aggregated corpus is how a candidate ends up applying to a seat that closed in March through a firm that never held the mandate. Every brief has a named person behind it who can answer a question about it.

What these seats pay

₹3.0 crore

median stated range, from 93 mandates that publish one

The Terminal takes pay from the mandates themselves — the ranges boards actually briefed, not a survey of what people say they earn. That makes the figures honest and it makes them uneven, and where the sample is too thin to support a median this page shows none. A pay figure derived from one or two seats is that seat wearing the authority of a statistic.

Reading costs nothing and always will. What a membership buys is the agent that watches while you work, the throughput to act on what it finds, and the right to pursue the seats outside India as well as read them.
