This work sits within Tata Steel’s broader ethics and compliance framework, where compliance managers establish business- and industry-specific standards across entities.
Monitoring, reviews, and escalation

- Highlight and escalate key compliance concerns to management, suggesting practical remedial measures and control enhancements.
- Conduct periodic compliance reviews across assigned divisions and group companies to test control effectiveness and adherence to obligations.
- Present the compliance status of assigned units and group companies at appropriate forums, supporting management oversight and audit needs.
Legal watch, advisory, and user support
- Track legal amendments and regulatory developments relevant to assigned businesses (e.g., labour, environment, safety, POSH, anti-bribery/anti-corruption, tax, corporate) and assess their impact on operations.
- Communicate changes and implications timely to concerned internal stakeholders and help update compliance obligations and checklists.
- Ensure that user issues in the Compliance Management System are addressed promptly and provide need-based advisory support on specific compliance questions.
Training, culture building, and reporting
- Assess training needs and deliver or coordinate need-based training on specified areas of law and compliance for assigned Tata Steel divisions and group companies.
- Work on initiatives aimed at improving compliance culture across the organisation, reinforcing the importance of adherence to laws and internal codes.
- Prepare monthly MIS and dashboards on compliance status and trends for submission to senior management, aligning with Tata Steel’s practice of reporting compliance and audit findings to the Audit Committee and Board.

- Are comfortable reading and interpreting a broad set of statutes and regulations applicable to a large industrial enterprise and mapping them to processes and controls.
