- You will be the link between demand signals, inventory planning, and on-ground logistics execution.

Key Responsibilities :

- Own end-to-end PO lifecycle: Supply planning, PO creation, GRN tracking, and fill-rate analysis across channels.

- Drive warehouse network expansion: Analyse city-level sales and inventory data to identify and stand up new fulfilment nodes beyond Mumbai.

- Build and manage a last-mile vendor ecosystem: Onboard 3PL partners, define delivery SLAs, and track TAT performance rigorously.

- Root-cause fulfilment gaps: Analyse deficit quantities, diagnose PO state failures, and drive on-time delivery improvements with vendors.

- Set up SOPs for new warehouse nodes covering inbound, storage, and dispatch protocols.

- Take ownership of evolving supply chain priorities, demonstrating agility and adaptability in addressing new or ambiguous challenges with speed and impact.

Key Metrics You Will Own :

- OSA (On-Shelf Availability): Weighted % of SKUs in-stock across dark stores; directly drives offtake and platform ranking.

- PO Fill Rate: Units delivered (GRN) vs. units ordered; reflects fulfilment accuracy and reliability.

- Lead Time: Days from PO creation to GRN; impacts replenishment cadence and stock-out risk.

- DOI (Days of Inventory): Determines reorder frequency and working capital.

- Fulfilment Gap: Delta between ordered and received quantity, by city and SKU.

- Inventory Value: Working capital tied up in front-end and back-end inventory across the warehouse network.

Qualifications :

1. Bachelor's in engineering or related field from a tier-1 institution

2. 2-4 years of total work experience
