In this high-impact role, you will serve as the primary compliance partner for our Indian IT/ITeS operations, ensuring seamless alignment between Indian statutory landscapes and the corporate compliance frameworks of our US-based parent MNC.
As a Individual Contributor, you must possess the technical authority and executive presence to independently interface with US leadership, local business heads, and external regulatory bodies. You will act as the single point of truth across three critical regulatory pillars (Indian Labour & Employment Laws, IT/ITeS Sector Regulations, and Corporate Finance Compliances) while actively anchoring the execution framework by driving ownership across all internal stakeholders.
Job Requirements
- Stakeholder Engagement & Compliance Driving: Function as the central orchestration point for compliance across all Indian legal entities. Partner closely with department heads, HR, Finance, IT, Facilities, and other process owners to drive accountability, establish robust internal controls, and ensure timely statutory execution.
- Compliance Tool Management: Serve as the primary administrator and subject matter expert for the organization’s automated third-party compliance tracking software / tool. Own the upkeep of the compliance calendar, configure workflows, track open action items, and ensure the tool accurately reflects the Indian regulatory matrix.
- Labour & Employment Law Guardianship: Oversee end-to-end statutory compliance with Indian central and state labour regulations. Ensure rigorous implementation of the Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, PoSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) mandates, Maternity Benefit Act, Contract Labour (CLRA), and social security frameworks (EPF, ESI, Gratuity, and Bonus Acts). Proactively steer the GCC's transition strategy for the emerging New Labour Codes.
- IT/ITeS Specific Governance: Manage and maintain all sector-specific operating compliance requirements, including STPI (Software Technology Parks of India) or SEZ (Special Economic Zone) regulations, MeitY directives, and DoT (Department of Telecommunications) OSP registrations.
- Financial & Corporate Compliance Oversight: Collaborate with internal finance and legal counsels to monitor compliance boundaries under the Companies Act, FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act) governing cross-border fund flows, transfer pricing documentation, and GST implications specific to export-oriented units (SEZ/STPI).
- US Cross-Border Alignment: Adapt and embed US parental compliance requirements—such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), SOX control frameworks, and corporate ethics charters—into daily Indian operations.
- Risk Audits & Investigations: Independently design and execute comprehensive, localized compliance risk assessment matrices. Serve as the regional point of contact for corporate whistleblower channels, leading objective internal investigations into policy or regulatory breaches.
- Executive Board Reporting: Synthesize compliance tool data, local regulatory risks, statutory updates, and audit findings into sharp, executive-level compliance dashboards for global C-suite stakeholders and local GCC leadership.

Equal Opportunity Employer*
NetApp is firmly committed to Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and to compliance with all federal, state and local laws that prohibit employment discrimination based on age, race, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, disability or genetic information, pregnancy, protected veteran status and any other protected classification. We pledge to take every reasonable step to ensure that our applicants and employees are respected, treated fairly and with dignity. See the EEO poster, Know your rights poster, and NetApp EEO policy. NetApp makes reasonable accommodations, consistent with applicable laws, for religious purposes and for the known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualified applicant or employee with a disability, who can perform the essential job functions unless undue hardship would result.

Data privacy
We care about your privacy and, therefore, ask that you read our Candidate Privacy Notice before you submit any personal information to us.
NetApp does not carry out any solely automated decision making (i.e. the process of making a decision by automated means without any human involvement) in determining your suitability or eligibility for specific roles.
However, the processing of your personal information is carried out with the aid of manual and automated tools. In particular, NetApp may use an automated employment evaluation tool or similar tool as one of several tools, actions, and/or steps to assist with NetApp’s review of candidate applications for various hiring needs.
Currently, when addressing certain hiring needs, NetApp uses the following tools:
- Eightfold (eightfold.ai): This tool can provide an initial ranking of a candidate’s skills and experience, based on information provided by the applicant in the application and/or supporting documentation, in comparison to the NetApp designated key requirements of a specific role. Additionally, the tool may be used to help review and/or rank internal employees seeking promotion or other internal mobility. An independent audit of the Eightfold Matching Model tool can be found at https://eightfold.ai/nyc-eightfoldmatching-model.
- Findem (findem.ai): This tool is used to help identify candidates whose skills and experience may be relevant to open roles at NetApp, using publicly available professional information. Findem may also be used to assist with candidate matching, AI-assisted screening, and recruitment communications.
Our talent acquisition team or our recruiters will ultimately select the candidates for further consideration, following human review of any automated evaluation results and associated underlying documentation (or lack thereof) submitted with the candidates’ application.
Candidates may request an alternative selection process which will not be subject to the Eightfold matching tool or to any electronic automated employment evaluation by contacting NetApp at careers@netapp.com. To bypass the Eightfold matching tool or any electronic automated employment evaluation, you must include a resume and job ID with your email to careers@netapp.com and you must include in the subject line of your email: Data Privacy Request. Candidates who have questions or want to request additional information on the source of data, type of data, and/or collection of data related to the candidate review process should contact NetApp at careers@netapp.com
Note: Eightfold is not applicable to temporary hiring opportunities. If you are interested in temporary roles, you can apply via a third-party site managed by our preferred supplier, Magnit Global. Magnit Global will provide its own privacy disclosures for your review as part of the application process.
