• Quality & Compliance: Adhere to organic handling standards; comply with FSSAI and safety norms; CAPA for deviations.

• Reporting: Daily MIS—inbound/outbound, stock, wastage %, order fill rate, OTIF, per-kg handling cost.

Must-Haves

• 3–6 years in FMCG/grocery/agri supply/quick-commerce warehousing or logistics.

• Proven hands-on leadership on the floor; comfortable with long/irregular hours based on business need.

• Strong command of inventory practices, cold-chain basics, and last-mile coordination.

• Excel/Google Sheets proficiency; experience with WMS/ERP preferred.

• Problem-solving mindset; calm under pressure; owner’s attitude.

Compensation
