About Absolut Pet
Absolut Pet is building a new generation of pet nutrition and wellness products for dogs and cats, with a focus on high-quality formulations, science-backed nutrition and products designed around the real needs of pets and pet parents.
As we scale rapidly across India, quick commerce is becoming a critical growth channel for Absolut Pet. We are looking for someone who can take ownership of this channel and help build it into a significant part of our business.
About the Role
We are looking for a Quick Commerce Category Manager to own and grow Absolut Pet's business across Blinkit and Zepto.
This is a highly hands-on role. You will be responsible for the complete day-to-day management of our quick-commerce channels from SKU listings and catalogue management to inventory, POs, promotions, platform relationships and performance advertising.
More importantly, you will be expected to drive growth.
You will analyse what is working, identify opportunities, work with the platforms to improve visibility and availability, optimize advertising spends and continuously improve our performance at a SKU and city level.
If you are someone who enjoys owning numbers, solving problems and moving quickly, this role is for you.
What You'll Own
Blinkit & Zepto Business Management
- Own the day-to-day business across Blinkit and Zepto
- Manage the complete SKU catalogue, including listings, images, content, pricing, attributes and availability
- Ensure new products and SKUs are launched correctly and quickly
- Monitor category positioning, search visibility and competitor activity
- Coordinate with platform category/account managers to execute growth initiatives
Inventory & PO Management
- Track SKU-level inventory and availability across cities and dark stores
- Proactively identify potential stock-outs and take corrective action
- Coordinate with internal supply chain and operations teams to maintain optimum inventory
- Manage the complete PO lifecycle from PO creation, acceptance, fulfilment, dispatches, fill rates and cancellations
- Identify inventory gaps and work with the platforms to improve availability and distribution
- Maintain strong in-stock rates across priority SKUs
Quick Commerce Advertising
- Own Blinkit and Zepto performance advertising
- Plan and execute campaigns to drive sales and product visibility
- Manage budgets, bids, keywords, placements and campaign optimization
- Monitor ROAS, CAC, sales, impressions, clicks and conversion rates
- Identify high-performing and under-performing SKUs and optimize spend accordingly
- Continuously test campaigns, products and strategies to improve advertising efficiency
Category & Sales Growth
- Track daily/weekly/monthly sales performance
- Analyse performance at SKU, city, platform and category level
- Identify opportunities to increase sales, visibility and market share
- Recommend pricing, promotions, assortment and advertising strategies
- Monitor competitor pricing, assortment and promotional activity
- Work towards improving GMV, margins, ROAS, availability and overall channel profitability
Reporting & Analytics
- Build and maintain dashboards/reports for Blinkit and Zepto
- Track key KPIs and identify trends and anomalies
- Translate data into clear actions rather than simply reporting numbers
- Present regular performance updates and growth opportunities to the team
Key KPIs
You will be directly accountable for metrics such as:
- GMV / Net Sales
- Month-on-month growth
- SKU availability / in-stock rate
- PO fill rate
- ROAS
- Advertising spend efficiency
- Conversion rate
- Organic & paid visibility

Who We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who is analytical and execution-oriented. You should have:
- 2+ years of experience in quick commerce, e-commerce, marketplace management or category management
- Hands-on experience with Blinkit and/or Zepto
- Strong understanding of quick-commerce operations
- Experience managing platform advertising/performance ads
- Understanding of inventory management and PO/fulfilment processes
- Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills and comfort working with data
- Ability to analyse SKU-level performance and identify actionable insights
- Strong communication and follow-up skills
- Ability to work independently and take ownership
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
What Makes This Role Different
This isn't a role where you'll simply maintain listings and send weekly reports.
You'll own the channel.
You'll have the opportunity to build Absolut Pet's presence on India's fastest-growing commerce platforms, decide where we spend our advertising rupees, identify which products and cities have the biggest opportunities, and work directly with the platforms to drive growth.
You'll have significant visibility with the founding/management team and the opportunity to grow with a rapidly scaling pet-care brand.
