What You’ll Do:

The most common question asked is, 'what does a typical day in the life of an SCM look like?' To answer that in brevity, no two days will be the same for you in this role:

  • Scale the category volumes and revenues across your geographies, while ensuring superlative customer and partner experience at scale.
  • In addition to maintaining operational excellence for your set of cities on a daily basis, you will also be expected to take charge of key central growth tracks for the category over time:
  • Sustainable and profitable growth
  • Building customer and partner love at scale
  • Leading a team from the front and empowering them to win based on UC's values
  • Collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure swift and robust execution.

You are the owner of the business entrusted to you, and you have a direct influence on how the business shapes up. If you're an entrepreneur/intrapreneur at heart, then this is an opportunity for you to grab with both hands

What We Need:


  • Minimum 2-4 years experience in an ops-related/consulting/strategy role.
  • Demonstrated leadership of teams and projects – the ability to influence and lead.
  • Someone who can deliver under tight timelines
  • Super energetic, loves challenges and solving them.



What can you expect:

  • A great work environment with massive ownership and growth opportunities - we hire folks for a career opportunity, not just the role.
  • Energy and hustle of a startup with processes and depth of a big organization
  • Expect to work with people you can learn from and are invested in your growth
  • Opportunity to be part of the mission to transform customer and partner experience
  • Latest tools and technology to get things done provided by the company
