- Check the location works for you. This role is based in Chennai (or one of 1 other locations). If you would need to move, ask whether relocation support is offered.
- Match the experience. The advert asks for at least 15 years of experience. If you are a little short, a close match on the skills in the advert can still get you shortlisted.
