• Ensure monthly mobility and delivery competitive landscape benchmarking
• Build strong documentation habits for scalability

Brand Standards & Compliance

• Ensure brand standards, marketing collateral, and on‑ground branding across partner cities are consistent with Yulu guidelines

• Number of new cities converted and launched per quarter
• Lead‑to‑launch conversion ratio
• DAU growth % across assigned cities
• Churn reduction %
• Partner retention and satisfaction level

Who Are We Looking For?

• 0–3 years of experience in startups, operations, sales, business development, or growth roles
• Strong ownership mindset with a bias for action
• Comfortable with telecalling, partner conversations, and field visits
• Highly structured with numbers; a strong working knowledge of MS Excel is mandatory
• Ability to operate in ambiguity and solve problems independently
• Comfortable working with partners in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities
• Excellent communication and persuasion skills
• Willingness to travel as required
