Program Executive Legal

This role is ideally suited for ambitious legal professionals holding an LLB (with 4 years of experience) or LLM (with 2 years of experience), specifically those with a background in legal advisory, documentation, contract management, or regulatory compliance within government departments, PSUs, or corporate sectors. Candidates eager to contribute to India's defence and aerospace innovation ecosystem on a full-time, contractual basis and who are below 30 years of age would find this a valuable opportunity.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely contractual role without a right to permanent absorption. Those lacking the specified post-qualification legal experience or whose age exceeds 29 years as on 10th August 2026 are ineligible. Candidates unwilling to commit to full-time contractual engagement or those who cannot meet the online application and document submission criteria will also not be considered.

Working with the Defence Innovation Organisation (DIO), under the Ministry of Defence, offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a nationally significant sector. While the role is contractual, it provides exposure to high-impact projects in defence and aerospace innovation. This position offers valuable specialized experience, enhancing a candidate's profile within legal and public sector domains, though long-term career progression beyond the contract term is not explicitly guaranteed.
