About Trublz
We're building a candy brand for young India - indulgence-first, loud, cheeky, and made for the kids and teens of today who are done with anything boring. The brand is being built as part of The Foundery, a venture-builder program by Kishore Biyani, Nikhil Kamath, and Ronnie Screwvala.
The Role
We're hiring a Supply Chain & Ops Lead to build the function from zero. You'll own the end-to-end supply chain - from sourcing to warehousing to fulfilment. This is a founding seat. You won't inherit a function - you'll build it.
What you'll do
Run supply chain and ops on the ground - everything from ingredients to a customer's mouth passes through you.
- Manufacturing coordination - India and international. Work with contract manufacturers in India, and with international partners where formats or ingredients require it. Own production plans, briefs, and quality checks across both.
- Procurement and inventory. Source ingredients and packaging (domestic and imported), keep stock at the right levels, manage vendor relationships across geographies.
- Imports and compliance. Manage customs, food safety compliance (FSSAI and international), and logistics for imported ingredients or finished goods.
- Quality and food safety. Own QC processes and food safety across the chain — from factory floor to dispatch.
- Dispatch and fulfilment. Move product from factory to warehouse to channels — cleanly, on time, without waste.
- A small team. Hire and manage coordinators, QC associates, and warehouse staff as volume grows.
What we are looking for
Must Have
- 3–4 years in ops or supply chain in packaged food brand
- High-ownership, organised, sharp on execution.
- Comfortable with sheets, dashboards, and on-ground problem solving.
- Genuinely good with people and vendors , a lot of this is chasing and unblocking.
Good To Have
- Hands-on contract manufacturing experience in food or FMCG
- FSSAI / food-safety awareness
- Experience managing international suppliers or manufacturers - imports, customs, and cross-border logistics
- Experience with logistics, warehousing, or D2C fulfilment
- Set up ops from zero at an earlier startup
Success in this role
After 3–6 months, you will:
- Have manufacturing partners set up with clear SOPs on production, quality, and dispatch.
- Have inventory, procurement, and QC systems running cleanly.
- Be leading a small ops team (QC, coordinators, warehouse) that runs without you needing to hold their hand.
Our Way of Working
Four principles guide how we work:
1. Earn the claps: We obsess over what the audience will love. Everything we make has to win a real reaction.
2. Always forward: We back the builder over the critic, and we keep our eyes ahead - no grudges, no replaying old debates.
3. Disagree & commit: We argue ideas hard. Once the call is made, we're all in - no second-guessing, no quiet undermining.
4. Calm in chaos: When things get noisy or uncertain, we stay calm and focused on what matters. No panic, no drift.
