Field Operations & Training: Train processing partners on strict Quality SOPs, hygiene protocols, and order-management software.
Supply Chain & Inventory Management: Oversee raw commodity dispatches to partner units to maintain zero stock-outs.
Hyperlocal SLA Management: Partner with 3PL hyperlocal platforms (Shadowfax, Porter, Dunzo) to ensure orders are processed and handed over to riders within tight fulfillment windows.
Requirements & Qualifications
Experience: 3–5 years of field operations, vendor onboarding, or dark store management in quick-commerce or hyperlocal delivery platforms (Ex-Zepto, Blinkit, Instamart, Dunzo, Porter, Shadowfax).
Language Skills: Fluent in English, Hindi, and Marathi (essential for field vendor relationships).
Field Mindset: 80% time spent on the ground visiting partner units across Mumbai. Valid driving license and two-wheeler required.
