Key job responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

Drive network-wide operational excellence: Own key operational metrics across the Quick Commerce network, identify performance gaps, and drive structured interventions to improve customer and store outcomes. Build scalable mechanisms: Develop operating mechanisms, SOPs, dashboards, and review mechanisms that enable consistent execution across hundreds/thousands of stores. Identify and solve systemic issues: Deep dive into recurring operational defects, identify root causes, and partner with Product/Tech/Operations teams to implement sustainable fixes rather than one-time interventions. Launch and scale new products/processes: Partner with Product and Tech teams to roll out new tools and capabilities across the network, including pilot design, store adoption, training, live support, issue tracking, and post-launch stabilization. Data and analytics: Build a strong data-driven understanding of operational performance through dashboards, automated reporting, deep dives, and leading indicators. Translate data into clear actions for field teams and leadership. Program management: Lead high-priority cross-functional initiatives from problem definition through execution, ensuring clear ownership, milestones, metrics, and mechanisms for tracking progress. Operational readiness: Assess network and backend readiness for future growth, including capacity, systems, processes, and dependencies, and proactively identify potential bottlenecks before they impact operations. Executive reporting: Own weekly/monthly business reviews and leadership mechanisms, providing clear insights on performance, risks, root causes, and corrective actions. Continuous improvement: Identify opportunities to simplify processes, reduce operational defects, improve productivity, and lower cost-to-serve while maintaining customer experience. Stakeholder management: Work with senior stakeholders across Operations, Product, Tech, Supply Chain, Finance, and Regional teams to influence decisions and drive execution without direct ownership of all resources.
