Job Description

The Custom Data Integration (CDI) team is the operational backbone that enables Arcadia to ingest and standardize utility data beyond the limits of its core product and automation layer. The team handles non-standard customer needs including integrations with sustainability platforms (e.g., Envizi, ESPM, NZC), custom data deliveries and reports, and processing of indirect, non-standard, landlord, and edge-case bill formats through specialized internal workflows.

As the CDI Lead, you own the Chennai CDI pod end-to-end - throughput, quality, team capability, and operational alignment with India- and US-based Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Project Manager and Data Engineering teams. You are accountable for converting highly unstructured and non-standard requirements into standardized, audit-ready outputs that support customer sustainability reporting, billing audit workflows, and compliance needs.

This is a working-leadership role, not pure people management. You will personally own the most complex projects end-to-end, while DAs and SDAs run simpler projects under your coaching and review. You will design SOPs, onboarding workflows, QA frameworks, and delivery standards across both one-time and recurring engagements - and continuously identify automation opportunities to reduce manual dependency.

Key Responsibilities

Operational Ownership

• Own CDI throughput, quality, and TAT adherence across standard and custom workflows, if applicable.
• Manage intake queues, balanced workload allocation, and capacity planning across DAs and SDAs based on complexity and priority.
• Ensure timely delivery of CDI projects, from new customer onboarding to recurring custom workflows
• Run structured operational cadences; proactively manage risks and escalations.

Data Quality & Process Governance

• Define and enforce QA standards across all utility data processing workflows.
• Build SOPs, exception-handling frameworks, and decision trees for complex and ambiguous scenarios.
• Ensure all manual interventions are traceable, auditable, and consistent across team members.
• Drive root-cause analysis and partner with R&D and/or RevOps on systemic fixes.

Team Leadership & Development

• Lead hiring, onboarding, coaching, performance management, and capability building for DAs and SDAs.
• Build team capability to independently handle complex and non-standard customer requirements.
• Establish structured skill progression paths (DA ??? SDA ??? Lead) to support long-term team stability and retention.
• Conduct structured 1:1s and performance reviews aligned to organizational cycles.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Act as the single point of ownership for CDI delivery across India and US stakeholders.
• Partner with India/US counterparts and different stakeholders on customer escalations, onboarding handoffs, and edge-case triage.
• Translate operational complexity into structured feedback for Product and Engineering to reduce manual dependency over time.
• Maintain written-first communication across Slack, Jira, and Confluence.

Automation & Scale

• Identify repetitive manual workflows suitable for automation or standardization.
• Build lightweight automations within the team (Python, SQL, scripting) for small-volume work that doesn't warrant an Engineering build.
• Collaborate with Engineering/Product to prioritize larger automation initiatives based on operational impact and customer value.

Reporting & Metrics

• Own operational dashboards covering throughput, TAT, error rates, rework %, and exception trends.
• Provide weekly and monthly performance updates to leadership.
• Forecast capacity needs against customer demand and complexity mix.

Required Experience & Skills

Experience

• 5+ years in data operations, solutioning, data integration, or data quality roles, including 2+ years leading a team of 5 or more.
• Experience in SaaS, data platforms, or operations-heavy environments with direct customer impact.
• Demonstrated exposure to offshore-onshore collaboration with US stakeholders.

Technical & Domain Skills

• Strong SQL for analysis, validation, and debugging.
• Working Python - able to write scripts that automate repetitive work, parse files, and transform data. Engineering-grade depth not required.
• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets for operational analysis.
• Experience with Jira, Confluence, and structured operational workflows.
• Understanding of document-heavy workflows (PDF/OCR extraction, parsing, structured transformation).
• Exposure to utility, energy, billing, or similar unstructured data domains is highly desirable.

Operational & Leadership Strengths

• Proven ownership of SLAs across complex, variable workflows.
• Strong systems thinking - able to convert operational chaos into structured, repeatable processes.
• Excellent written communication for cross-time-zone execution.
• Calm, structured decision-making under escalation.

Nice to Have

• Experience in sustainability, ESG, or clean energy domains.
• Hands-on integration experience with platforms such as Envizi, ESPM, NZC, etc.

• Experience scaling operations teams from early-stage to mid-size structures.

Benefits

• We are working on a hybrid model with remote first policy
• Apart from Fixed Base Salary potential candidates are eligible for following benefits
  • Flexible Leave Policy
