Vice President - Institutional Relations

ROLE PURPOSE
Owns RMZ's institutional relationships in Karnataka at the policy tier — the Chief Minister's Office, the Chief Secretary, Urban Development at ministerial and principal-secretary level, the chairs of the development authority and of Karnataka RERA, and investment promotion — and builds a second, complementary layer of relationships in Uttar Pradesh, including Tourism and Hospitality, in direct support of the Managing Director's own coverage of that state.

KEY ATTRIBUTES REQUIRED
• 12–15 years of experience in Institutional Relations / Corporate Relations.
• Established, high-level contacts across Karnataka's key ministries and government offices — including the Police and the RTO.
• Fluent in English and well versed in Kannada.
• Comfortable using AI tools and digital platforms effectively in day-to-day work.
• Able to prepare reports and collate data for the Managing Director and the Executive Board on request.

Where this seat sits. This is the Vice President, Karnataka seat within Institutional Relations — one of three state Vice President seats, alongside Maharashtra (Mumbai) and Andhra Pradesh &
Telangana (Hyderabad). It reports to Managing Director, Institutional Relations, who also holds the Strategic Intelligence Cohort in Delhi and carries Uttar Pradesh — together with
Delhi and Haryana — directly, since there is no dedicated Vice President for the North. The Uttar Pradesh relationships in this mandate are built as the second name behind the Managing Director's own coverage of that state, not as a separate seat: depth, not duplication.

WHAT IS TO BE OWNED YOURS STANDARD
The policy relationships Karnataka in full, and Uttar Pradesh in support of the Managing Director —chief ministers' offices and chief secretaries, ministers and principal
secretaries, development-authority and RERA chairs, and investment-promotion leadership. Anyone who defines policy rather than administers it.
 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
• Hold, personally and by name, the Karnataka policy-tier relationships: the Chief Minister's Office and Chief Secretary; the Urban Development minister and principal secretary; the chairs of the
development authority and of Karnataka RERA; and Invest Karnataka leadership.
• Build and sustain a parallel relationship layer in Uttar Pradesh — the Chief Minister's Office and Chief Secretary, Housing and Urban Planning at ministerial and principal-secretary level, the chief executives of the Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna authorities, UP RERA, Invest UP, and Tourism and Hospitality — as the second name behind the Managing Director's own coverage of the state.
• Track Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh policy movement — urban policy, FSI/TDR-linked notifications, RERA rule changes, tourism and hospitality regulation — ahead of it becoming public,
and feed it into the function's quarterly policy brief.
• Log every regulatory commitment made at investment committee for Karnataka (and any Uttar Pradesh-linked) projects, dated, and report it monthly with slippage flagged early.
• Hold the boundary at the policy tier: route sanctions, permits, occupancy, FSI/TDR pricing, title clearance and working-level authority engagement to Corporate Relations under the regional
delivery heads — never take it on personally.
• Maintain and refresh, twice yearly, the Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh relationship map: the relationship, the name, the level, and through whom it is held.
• Close out any retainer arrangements covering these relationships onto an establishment basis, or end them; where a retired officer is the right answer, they join the house rather than invoice it.
• Keep the standing weekly cadence with the Managing Director: what moved, what is at risk against an investment-committee commitment, and what is needed.
