About Us :
We are a fast-growing D2C brand creating safe, premium, and fun kitchenware for kids and families - BPA-free stainless steel bento boxes, tiffin boxes, sippers, and plates thoughtfully designed for Indian homes. Founded by Mahesh Muraleedharan (ex-Uber, OYO, Rapyd) and Harini Rajagopalan (ex-Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra), we are funded and scaling rapidly across D2C and marketplace channels. Rated 4.6/5 across 1,000+ reviews and 85+ products.
The Role :
- This is a no-fluff, full-ownership operations role. You will be the person who makes sure everything between the factory and the customer's doorstep runs like clockwork - every single day. You report directly to the founders and own the entire operations function end-to-end. No hand-holding. No committees. Just ownership, speed, and execution.
If something breaks in the supply chain at 11pm - you fix it. If a 3PL partner is underperforming - you replace them. If Amazon FBA goes wrong - you solve it. This role is for someone who thrives in chaos, owns outcomes completely, and builds systems that scale.
What You Will Own - Everything Between Factory & Customer
Manufacturing & Vendor Management :
- Own relationships with all manufacturers - stainless steel, silicone, packaging
- Negotiate MOQs, pricing, lead times, and payment terms
- Ensure quality standards - BPA-free, food-grade certifications, zero defects
- Build a resilient multi-vendor supply base to eliminate single points of failure
-Manage vendor performance - scorecards, audits, corrective actions
Supply Chain & Inventory :
- Own end-to-end supply chain from raw material to finished goods
- Demand forecasting - never run out of stock, never overstock
- Inventory planning across D2C, Amazon FBA, and offline channels
- Manage purchase orders, GRNs, and inbound planning
Build inventory dashboards and alert systems for real-time visibility
- Reduce dead stock and improve inventory turns
Fulfilment & Logistics :
- Own 3PL partnerships - select, negotiate, and manage fulfilment partners
- Ensure D2C orders are picked, packed, and shipped on time
- Manage Amazon Seller Central - FBA, FBF, account health, stranded inventory
- Drive RTO reduction and improve last-mile delivery experience
- Optimize cost per order across all fulfilment channels
Customer Experience Operations :
- Own post-order customer experience - delivery SLAs, returns, replacements
- Reduce customer complaints related to delivery, damage, and delays
- Work closely with customer support to close operational gaps
Cost & P&L :
- Own operations P&L - COGS, logistics, fulfilment, packaging costs
- Drive cost reduction across every operational line item
- Build monthly MIS and dashboards - full visibility for founders
- Identify and plug operational leakages
Team & Process Building :
- Build and manage a lean ops team from scratch as the company scales
- Create SOPs, playbooks, and checklists for every operational process
- Set up tools - WMS, OMS, ERP integrations, dashboards
- Ensure operations can scale 10x without breaking
Who We Are Looking For :
- 8-12 years of hands-on operations experience - supply chain, fulfilment, vendor management
- Has worked at a D2C brand, consumer goods company, or high-growth startup - not just large enterprises
- Has personally managed 3PL partners, warehouse operations, and Amazon Seller Central
- Has owned a P&L - knows what COGS, logistics cost, and fulfilment cost mean
- Comfortable getting hands dirty - this is not a PowerPoint role
- Bias for action - fixes problems fast, doesn't wait for perfect information
- Has built ops teams and SOPs from scratch
- Strong with data - Excel/Sheets, dashboards, and operational metrics
- High ownership - treats every rupee like their own
What This Role is NOT :
- Not a strategy role where you make decks and attend meetings
- Not a role where you manage managers who manage managers
- Not for someone who needs a large team to get things done
- Not for someone who has only worked at large enterprises their whole career
