Vendors, Compliance & Stakeholders

  • Contract and govern transporters, O&M partners, and collection agents with bonus/penalty frameworks.
  • Coordinate with product/tech for device uptime, ticketing, and dashboard requirements.

Control Tower & Reporting

  • Stand up live dashboards for point uptime, pick-ups due vs done, hub throughput, shrinkage, and safety.
  • Lead daily huddles/weekly reviews; publish RCA/Corrective-Action trackers.

Qualifications

  • 7–12 years in high-density field operations (logistics/last-mile, FMCG RTM, waste/recycling, warehousing/device ops), with at least 3 years building teams from zero to scale.
  • Proven vendor contracting/governance; strong commercial acumen and cost control.
  • Data-driven operator (Excel/Sheets; bonus: PowerBI/Tableau); familiarity with routing tools and ticketing systems.
