About the Role
This is the role that keeps our pan-India store fleet running consistently, efficiently and to a high standard — every day, in every store.

Change Management at Stores

Own change management across the network, including Visual Merchandising resets and new-launch readiness.
Build and run a structured rollout playbook so VM changes, product launches and process changes land on time and to standard.
Partner with Circle Heads to ensure smooth on-ground implementation, verifying readiness before go-live and capturing feedback for improvement.

Store Inventory Monitoring

Provide data-backed feedback to Merchandising on store-level inventory and staff insights on the merchandise mix.
Partner with Loss Prevention to identify, monitor and reduce shrinkage by strengthening process controls and surfacing hotspots.
Manage store consumables end-to-end, balancing cost efficiency with customer experience, and set norms, replenishment logic and cost benchmarks.

Store Refit & New Store Opening

Own the refit charter — cost-benefit analysis, planning, scheduling and tracking — to complete refits on time and minimise store downtime.
Partner with Business Development to enable smooth new-store openings with clean operational handovers when sales takes over.

Training Compliance & Consequence Management

Partner with the Academy team to drive training-calendar adherence, tracking completion across the network and nudging regional leaders.
Define, communicate and manage the consequence framework for non-adherence to training requirements.

Long-Term Growth: Own the long-range growth agenda — new categories, market expansion readiness, service model evolution — and represent Central Operations in strategic planning forums.
