Job Title:
Regulatory and Compliance Lead
Organisation:
Inflect Consulting
Location:
New Delhi
Reports to:
Founder’s Office
Experience:
7+ years
About Us Inflect is a policy intelligence and systems-diagnostics firm working at the intersection of public policy, regulatory foresight, and institutional reform. We partner with governments, multilaterals, and private-sector stakeholders to diagnose systemic delivery failures, map policy architecture, and design implementation-ready interventions across sectors, including climate resilience, public health, fiscal systems, digital governance, land administration, EV policy, and social protection.
Our work is deeply research-driven, politically informed, and implementation-focused. We are building a team that combines analytical rigour with strong stakeholder engagement and the ability to translate complex policy insight into actionable partnerships.
The Role You will be the regulatory and compliance authority for the company and a commercial leader who can open doors. You will work alongside the founders, product managers, and ML engineers to define the regulatory taxonomy, prioritise coverage, validate model outputs, and ensure our platform reflects the real obligations Indian businesses face. You will also build the partnership ecosystem and drive business origination, bringing in design partners, early customers, and channel relationships that help us scale.
This is not a back-office advisory role; you will be central to product strategy, customer trust, and commercial growth.
What You‘ll Do Own the regulatory content strategy: which laws, rules, notifications, circulars, and state-level instruments we cover, and at what depth
Build and maintain the regulatory taxonomy spanning corporate law, tax (Direct and Indirect), labour and industrial relations, FEMA, data protection (DPDP Act), sector-specific regulation (RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, TRAI, etc.), and state-level compliance
Partner with the ML team to validate LLM-generated interpretations, design evaluation rubrics, flag hallucinations, and create gold-standard datasets for fine-tuning and benchmarking
Translate dense regulatory text into structured obligations: who is affected, what action is required, by when, with what evidence, and what the consequences of non-compliance are
Monitor the regulatory pipeline — bills in Parliament, draft notifications, consultation papers, judicial rulings — and assess what will materially change customer obligations
Serve as the senior subject-matter voice with customers, design partners, auditors, and regulators; represent the company in industry forums
Advise the founder on go-to-market priorities by sector and customer segment based on regulatory intensity and pain
Build and own the partnership ecosystem that drives both credibility and pipeline
Drive business origination: leverage your network to bring in design partners, early customers, and channel relationships, and work alongside the founders on enterprise sales conversations where domain credibility is decisive
What We‘re Looking For 7+ years of experience in Indian regulatory and compliance work, ideally across multiple of the following: a Big 4 or large law firm regulatory practice, in-house at a regulated entity, a regulator, or a senior compliance role at a fast-growing company
Prior experience at a Reg Tech, Legal Tech, or compliance SaaS company is required.
You‘ve helped build, sell, or operate a compliance software product and understand where these products are most efficient and what customers actually pay for
A demonstrated track record of building commercial relationships — partnerships, channel deals, design partner programs, or enterprise sales motions where you were the domain credibility in the room
Deep working knowledge of at least five of:
Companies Act and MCA filings, GST and Direct Tax, labour codes and state labour compliance, FEMA, SEBI and RBI regulations, DPDP Act
A track record of reading primary sources — Gazette notifications, circulars, press releases — rather than relying on secondary commentary
Comfort working with technical teams; you don‘t need to write code, but you need to be able to…
