HLL Recruitment 2026 - Manager to Vice President & CFO, Apply Online

Each post has its own specific qualification and experience bar, generally requiring 6 to 20 years of relevant experience. The revised online application deadline is 23 September 2026.

• Manager – Legal (1 post) — full-time LL.B., 8 years in corporate legal matters/litigation/contract drafting

• Assistant General Manager posts – Mental Health & Lifepath (2 posts) — Science graduate with MBA, 12 years in the relevant healthcare/training domain
• Associate/Deputy General Manager posts – Allied Healthcare, Consumer Goods, IT, Pharma Retail (4 posts) — MBA or relevant engineering degree, 12–18 years of domain experience

• Deputy Vice President/AVP posts – HR, Secretarial, Civil, Finance, Pharma Retail (5 posts) — MBA(HR), ACS, B.E./B.Tech(Civil), or CA/CMA, 15–18 years of senior experience
• Vice President posts – CFO, Pharma Retail, Product Marketing (3 posts) — CA/CMA or MBA in Marketing, 20 years overall including leadership experience

Eligibility & Age Limit

Every post has its own exact qualification and minimum post-qualification experience — full detail is in the post-wise notification linked below. As a general pattern, more senior posts require both more years of experience and, for several posts, a specific professional qualification (CA/CMA for Finance roles, ACS for Secretarial, LL.B. for Legal). Age is calculated as on 1 August 2026, which is also the cut-off date for qualification and experience. Maximum age ranges from 40 years (Manager – Legal) up to 52 years for the two Vice President FTC posts (Pharma Retail and Product Marketing), which are further relaxable up to 57 years based on equivalent excess experience with supporting documents; the Vice President & CFO post caps at 50 years, relaxable to 55. SC/ST/OBC/PwD candidates get additional age relaxation as per Government of India directives, on top of any post-specific relaxation.

Salary & Pay Scale

Pay is on a defined scale for 14 of the 16 posts, running from a basic pay of ₹35,000–₹65,000 for Senior Operations Manager up to ₹1,00,000–₹2,60,000 for Vice President & CFO, with gross monthly salary and annual CTC varying further by metro/non-metro posting. The two Vice President FTC posts (Pharma Retail and Product Marketing) instead carry a consolidated remuneration commensurate with the candidate's qualification, experience, and last drawn salary, rather than a fixed pay scale — so those two won't have a stated number until an offer is made.

How Are Candidates Selected

Screening: Applications are screened against the essential qualification, experience and age criteria for the specific post applied to.

Interview: Eligible candidates are interviewed, and all information in the application is verified against original documents at this stage. Candidates currently employed in Government, Semi-Government, PSU, or Autonomous Bodies must bring a No Objection Certificate to the interview.

Final selection: The decision rests with HLL Management and is stated to be final. There's no separate written exam for any of these 16 posts.

Why This Job Matters

HLL Lifecare is India's leading manufacturer and marketer of contraceptive, healthcare and pharma products, and a Mini Ratna CPSE under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. This recruitment stands out for covering senior and leadership-track roles — including a Vice President & CFO position — in a single drive, spanning both permanent posts and Fixed Term Contract roles, which is a notable mix for a single PSU notification and offers real seniority for candidates who already have deep sector experience.

The FreshersLike Take

Best fit: This is squarely for experienced professionals, not entry-level applicants — a strong fit if you already have 8+ years in a matching domain (legal, finance, HR, healthcare operations, IT, or pharma retail) and are looking for a senior PSU leadership role with defined pay scales for most posts.

Who should think twice: Every post here needs a minimum of 6 to 20 years of specific post-qualification experience — if you're a fresher or early-career candidate, none of these 16 posts will be open to you, so this notification is worth skipping unless you already meet a post's experience bar.

Practical tip: Applications must be submitted as typed PDF or Word files through a Google Form — handwritten forms are explicitly rejected — and each file must stay under 10 MB, so convert and compress your certificates and CV in advance rather than scrambling near the 23 September deadline.

Documents Required

• Completed job application form, filled digitally (not handwritten) and saved as PDF or Word
• Curriculum Vitae (CV)
• Educational qualification certificates
• Experience certificates supporting the post-specific experience requirement
• Latest salary slip
• SC/ST Caste Certificate or OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) Certificate, in the Government of India prescribed format, where applicable
• No Objection Certificate, for candidates currently employed in Government/Semi-Government/PSU/Autonomous Bodies (required at interview stage)

What Happens After Selection

[check] — the notification does not detail onboarding, joining formalities, or probation period beyond the interview and document verification stage; HLL Management's selection decision is stated as final, and the organisation reserves the right to modify the selection process or not fill any/all posts.
