Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) Chief Operating Officer (MIJSC) Recruitment 2026 - 1 Post

This role is ideal for experienced postgraduates with a strong background in senior/top management, particularly those with a keen interest in or prior experience working with Japanese companies or in India-Japan business relations. Candidates should possess exceptional communication, business acumen, and self-motivation, ready to manage complex programs and drive external collaborations for a prestigious academic centre.

Individuals without a postgraduate qualification or relevant senior management experience should not apply. Those unfamiliar with the Japanese business ecosystem or lacking the necessary communication and networking skills will find this role challenging. It is a contractual position, so candidates seeking permanent government employment may want to consider this aspect.

Joining IIMB, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant prestige and a platform for impactful work. The role provides an opportunity to lead a key research and networking hub focused on India-Japan relations, offering exposure to academia, industry, and government sectors. While a contractual role, it offers substantial influence and networking opportunities at a strategic level within a top-tier institution.
