Store Manager

Location: Vadodara, Gujarat

Entity: Edge Factory | MostEdge Ecosystem

Reporting To: Nainesh Ramani / India Business Leadership

MostEdge is a technology-led operating ecosystem built to help retailers run disciplined, profitable, and scalable businesses. It spans pricing intelligence, inventory control, invoice accuracy, loyalty systems, surveillance, and back-office execution. Everything we build is designed to protect margins, improve decision-making, and compound value over time—protecting every penny while powering sustainable growth.

The Edge Factory is where these systems are proven under real conditions. It is not a concept lab or a showroom. It is a live execution factory where ideas face real customers, real revenue, real costs, and real accountability before they are scaled. The focus is discipline first, growth second, and scale only when the system is ready.

THE SPOT is the physical and operational expression of this philosophy. It is a revenue-generating flagship, a live retail and engagement platform, and a network anchor designed to earn trust, build habits, and create repeatable operating standards that can scale across cities and retailer partners. Retail is the gateway, but the system is the business.

The Store Manager role at THE SPOT is not about running a store. It is about building a working retail system. You are hired to build and operate a flagship store designed to scale toward ₹1 crore+ in monthly revenue as systems mature, while simultaneously designing the product mix, margin structure, inventory cadence, loyalty behavior, supplier playbooks, and customer experience standards that others will later adopt.

This role combines full P&L ownership with concept piloting, engagement economics, and network leadership. You are accountable for today's outcomes and responsible for architecting tomorrow's scalability. The expectation is not short-term optics, but durable performance that holds up as complexity increases.

At the heart of THE SPOT is a simple principle: retail earns attention, but moments earn loyalty. This philosophy is expressed through THE SPOT – Make a Moment, where structured, paid engagement experiences such as LEGO Moments are integrated directly into the retail environment. These experiences are not free play zones or distractions. They are disciplined engagement engines designed to convert curiosity into participation, participation into habit, and habit into long-term loyalty.

As Store Manager, you are accountable for the business outcomes of this engagement layer. That includes conversion rates, repeat participation, loyalty integration, staffing discipline, and unit economics. The goal is not activity, but measurable value that can be documented and replicated across locations.

You will take full ownership of THE SPOT's operating rhythm. This includes driving sales growth, maintaining healthy gross margins, managing inventory turns with working-capital discipline, controlling shrink, and delivering consistent customer excellence at the standards expected of a high-velocity premium convenience or grocery operation.

You will design and continuously optimize a NACS-style product mix that balances frequency, margin, and trust. You will build margin architecture that compounds value over time rather than relying on discounting. You will manage inventory with precision so availability, turns, and cash flow remain aligned. You will design loyalty programs that reward repeat behavior and long-term value instead of short-term spend. You will build supplier relationships based on transparency, performance, and shared growth.

Everything that works must be measured, refined, documented, and standardized so it can be replicated without heroics.

THE SPOT is also designed to function as a reference model for other operators. As Store Manager, you will host and engage other retailers, operators, and partners, demonstrating systems and outcomes in real time. You will help attract retailers into the THE SPOT network, convert interest into pilots or partnerships, and feed operational insights back into the Edge Growth Factory so the model can scale with confidence.

Your credibility, discipline, and execution will directly influence how quickly and how responsibly the platform expands.

The ideal candidate brings deep, proven experience with Convenience Store -style retail systems and understands retail as a repeatable operating discipline rather than a collection of transactions. You have managed high-volume stores, optimized product mix and margin rates, maintained strong inventory turns, and delivered consistent customer excellence. You have designed or operated loyalty programs that drive frequency and lifetime value, built trusted supplier relationships, and scaled stores or operating models across multiple geographies.

Equally important, you bring the leadership presence and credibility to attract other retailers and operators to learn from and participate in THE SPOT ecosystem.

Success in this role means the flagship operates with discipline and credibility, revenue scales along a clear trajectory, margins and inventory remain healthy, loyalty behavior strengthens, engagement delivers measurable value, supplier partnerships improve economics, and clear playbooks exist for multi-city replication. THE SPOT becomes recognized as a credible operating reference, not just a successful store.

THE SPOT is not built to look successful early. It is built to become successful sustainably and then scale with confidence. This role sits at the center of that mission.
