This role is for a 1000 Crore Indian engineering group, with the reputation of being one of the fast-growing Indian engineering companies.

As the director for Information Technology, this person would steer the group's growth by envisioning the role of IT and SAP-based support to the core engineering activities as well as the vendor management initiatives.

The person needs to have a strong engineering background and have a hands-on experience in IT strategy. Foresight into IT and emerging trends in IT would be one of the decisive factors. SAP experience would be considered a plus.
