Role Summary
Yulu is looking for a Regional Lead - South to join its Public Policy team. This is a high-ownership role for someone who can take charge of a critical, high-priority policy charter spanning Maharashtra and Karnataka, working closely with the Head of Public Policy to ensure seamless execution on the ground.
Beyond the state charter, you will also own a core, organisation-wide work stream focused on state engagements, including but not limited to building and deepening relationships across the mobility, labour, and gig-economy ecosystem to drive long-term partnerships for Yulu. This role sits at the intersection of policy design, stakeholder management, and cross-functional execution, and is ideal for someone who thrives on ambiguity and enjoys building structure where none exists yet.
What You'll Do
- Own State Policy Charters: Take end-to-end ownership of Yulu's policy priorities in Maharashtra and Karnataka, working closely with the Head of Public Policy to translate strategy into on-ground execution.
- Drive State & Ecosystem Engagement: Lead a dedicated charter for state-level engagement, including building relationships across the mobility, labour, and gig-economy landscape to create long-term, durable partnerships for Yulu.
- Work Across Teams: Partner with Communications, Legal, Operations, and the central policy function on a regular basis, making sure regional policy priorities stay tied to what the business is trying to achieve.
- Regulatory Expertise: Keep a close eye on how relevant laws and regulations are shifting, turn that into whitepapers and briefing notes, and be the person leadership turns to for a read on where things stand.
- Stakeholder Management: Assess policy documents, produce sharp knowledge collaterals, and lead stakeholder meetings with government bodies, industry forums, and labour representatives.
- Independent Ownership: Think and produce outputs independently, balancing high-level policy design with day-to-day operational alignment.
Basic Qualifications
- Experience: 6–7 years of professional experience in public policy, corporate affairs, government relations, or strategic advocacy.
- Strategic Architecture: Proven track record of engaging with key government stakeholders from a larger-organisation perspective, not just a transactional or issue-by-issue lens.
- Comfort with Ambiguity: Demonstrated agility in picking up new, complex regulatory portfolios quickly and designing national or state-level strategy from scratch, especially when the policy framework is evolving or undefined.
- Be a stakeholder champion: Solid experience managing or engaging with gig-economy advocacy groups, labour and mobility councils in a complex, high-stakes stakeholder environment.
- Matrix Collaboration: Demonstrated ability to influence and collaborate across distributed regional teams (such as state leads) and cross-functional departments without direct authority.
- Communication Mastery: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to synthesise complex legal or operational issues into compelling narratives for external government stakeholders.
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Public Policy, Law, Political Science, Economics, Communications, or a related field.
Preferred Qualifications
- Master's degree or advanced qualification in Public Policy, Business Administration (MBA), Law (LL.B/LL.M), or International Relations.
- Deep familiarity with transport regulations, evolving labour ecosystem, and digital economy frameworks.
- Existing relationships with central ministries, central labour unions, national think tanks, or state-level transport departments.
- Prior experience within the mobility or transport sector is a strong plus.
- A self-motivated individual who thrives in ambiguity and can comfortably pivot between high-level policy design and on-the-ground operational alignment.
