Noel Tata is currently a trustee of the Sir Ratan Tata Trust and the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, two major entities within the Tata Trusts. These trusts not only oversee philanthropic activities but also hold a majority stake in Tata Sons, the holding company for the Tata Group. This places Noel in a highly influential position within the organization.

Noel Tata began his career with the Tata Group in the early 2000s, and by 2010-2011, he became the Managing Director of Tata International, which manages the group's international business operations. Despite early debate that Noel would succeed Ratan as the head of the group, the board appointed Cyrus Mistry as Ratan Tata’s successor in 2011. However, Mistry's tenure was cut short in 2016, and Ratan Tata returned as interim chairman until Natarajan Chandrasekaran took over in 2017.
