EVP – Risk and Resilience — Renewables Construction Book

Urgent / Unplanned

Confidential EVP – Risk and Resilience seat addressing a public-private partnership expansion for a infrastructure developer and asset operator in India.

The mandate

A deliberate change of pace is required to deal with board concern over resilience and inconsistent first-line ownership within a privately held infrastructure developer and asset operator. The immediate arena is the renewables construction book during a public-private partnership expansion. For mandate 310, the successful executive inherits decisions that have been deferred, competing stakeholder expectations and a need to establish facts before committing further capital.

The EVP – Risk and Resilience operating perimeter covers approximately ₹26,650 crore in project and operating-asset portfolio, with activity spanning several renewables construction book customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The EVP – Risk and Resilience Infrastructure remit carries direct influence over roughly 1,050 colleagues and third-party capacity.

The board and its investment committee want a EVP – Risk and Resilience who can convert ambiguity into a short list of explicit choices for the renewables construction book. The EVP – Risk and Resilience Infrastructure seat must resolve a public-private partnership expansion, while preserving the underlying strengths of the renewables construction book. For mandate 310, value will come through sharper allocation, stronger leaders and an operating cadence that exposes variance early.

The EVP – Risk and Resilience’s first year on the renewables construction book is expected to end with risk appetite adherence, tested resilience and faster issue closure. In mandate 310, authority covers resources and leadership appointments; material trade-offs go directly to the board sponsor.

Why this seat is open

The EVP – Risk and Resilience — Renewables Construction Book requirement was not included in the approved hiring calendar. It became urgent after a public-private partnership expansion created an immediate need for one accountable owner of the renewables construction book. Interim coverage protects essential decisions, but split ownership cannot continue through the next operating gate. The board intends to move from qualified shortlist to offer within 4–6 weeks while preserving confidential, evidence-led diligence.

What you will own

  • Set the EVP – Risk and Resilience value-creation thesis for the renewables construction book, translate it into no more than five enterprise priorities and stop work that does not support them.
  • Carry stewardship of approximately ₹26,650 crore in project and operating-asset portfolio, including allocation, risk acceptance and board forecasts.
  • Lead the EVP – Risk and Resilience Infrastructure organisation of about 1,050 employees and partners, appointing a team with clear decision rights and credible succession for every critical seat.
  • Resolve the renewables construction book economics and execution constraints created by a public-private partnership expansion, with EVP – Risk and Resilience-approved owners, dated milestones and transparent escalation thresholds.
  • Establish one EVP – Risk and Resilience operating review across commercial, customer, financial, people, technology and risk outcomes for the renewables construction book; remove reconciliations that obscure accountability.
  • Demonstrate enterprise authority across functions and markets, with outcomes visible in cash, customers or controlled risk in mandate 310.
  • Build the EVP – Risk and Resilience’s three-year succession and capability plan for the renewables construction book, reducing dependence on individual executives and improving mobility across the wider Infrastructure organisation.

The first 12 months

  • Days 1–90: Validate the renewables construction book baseline, meet the 30 stakeholders most consequential to board concern over resilience and inconsistent first-line ownership, assess the leadership team, stabilise immediate delivery risks and agree a board-owned scorecard with explicit decision gates.
  • Months 4–9: Make the principal EVP – Risk and Resilience portfolio and organisation choices for the renewables construction book, install the new operating cadence, fill critical leadership gaps and deliver the first measurable release of cash, capacity or customer value.
  • Months 10–12: Demonstrate a repeatable renewables construction book trend against risk appetite adherence, tested resilience and faster issue closure, lock the following year’s capital and talent plan, evidence control sustainability and present a credible three-year value case with downside actions.

What the board will measure

  • Delivery of the EVP – Risk and Resilience’s agreed first-year renewables construction book value case within a 10% tolerance, with variance explained before rather than after the relevant quarter closes.
  • A EVP – Risk and Resilience forecast that remains decision-useful across three consecutive quarters and reconciles the renewables construction book’s operating, cash, customer and people assumptions.
  • Closure of the EVP – Risk and Resilience mandate’s highest-priority renewables construction book risk and execution issues by their board-approved dates, with independent evidence that fixes are sustained.
  • Retention of at least 90% of critical renewables construction book talent and ready-now successors for at least 70% of the EVP – Risk and Resilience’s direct reports.
  • A quantified EVP – Risk and Resilience-owned improvement in the renewables construction book operating constraint behind a public-private partnership expansion, supported by a clean baseline and named data owner.
  • Clear stakeholder confidence in mandate 310: no unresolved high-severity escalation older than 30 days and no material surprise withheld from its agreed governance forum.

The person

You are currently a EVP Risk, Deputy CRO or Operational Resilience Head in a privately held Infrastructure or adjacent enterprise. In relation to the renewables construction book, your EVP – Risk and Resilience track record includes a transition where the original plan was no longer sufficient; you can explain your choices, evidence and numerical impact. Candidates from infrastructure, construction, utilities, transport assets or project finance will be considered where the operating model, customer stakes and governance intensity match this EVP – Risk and Resilience brief.

As a EVP – Risk and Resilience candidate, you bring 22–28 years of progressive Infrastructure or adjacent-sector experience, consistent with the 22-28 experience band. At minimum, you have carried a P&L, book, budget or accountable portfolio of ₹15,450 crore and led an organisation of at least 725 people.

For mandate 310, the board wants two transitions: a difficult renewables construction book portfolio choice and a leadership-system change during a public-private partnership expansion. As the prospective EVP – Risk and Resilience for this renewables construction book, you must challenge optimistic cases and still create followership. References for mandate 310 must distinguish your contribution from the institution around you.

The EVP – Risk and Resilience role in Infrastructure is based in Ahmedabad; relocation is expected, although a structured weekly commute may be considered during the first quarter.

Non-negotiables

  • Current or recent accountability at the level of EVP Risk, Deputy CRO or Operational Resilience Head, with direct exposure to a board, investment committee or equivalent Infrastructure governance forum.
  • Proven EVP – Risk and Resilience ownership of at least ₹15,450 crore and leadership of no fewer than 725 employees in a comparable renewables construction book context.
  • One completed Infrastructure or adjacent-sector example of board concern over resilience and inconsistent first-line ownership with outcomes sustained for at least two reporting periods after the initial intervention.
  • Sector credibility from infrastructure, construction, utilities, transport assets or project finance; experience that is purely functional and lacks EVP – Risk and Resilience-level renewables construction book consequences will not meet the bar.
  • Willingness to meet the Ahmedabad location expectation, complete conflicts and background diligence, and protect the confidentiality of mandate 310.

Compensation and terms

The anticipated EVP – Risk and Resilience package is ₹2.2–3.0 crore fixed + performance variable, calibrated to the final renewables construction book scope and the candidate’s current mix.

The EVP – Risk and Resilience appointment in Ahmedabad, centred on the renewables construction book, offers regular exposure to the board and its investment committee. A notice period of up to 6 months can be accommodated for the selected executive in mandate 310.
