Lead the Outstation FTL marketplace across India. Own supply strength, route- readiness, & fulfilment reliability at a national level. Build a high quality, scalable supply ecosystem across fleet owners & partners to support long distance movement.

Why this role?

The HCV business is one of the fastest growing verticals in the organisation. OS FTL is the next scale frontier, with a large and highly fragmented supply ecosystem. Winning in this space will require building a strong, reliable, and well structured supply backbone across corridors.

This role sits at the centre of that ambition. The person will act as the national owner for growth in OS FTL, with a clear mandate to build depth, drive reliability, & create structure.

Key responsibilities

• Own end to end supply for OS FTL pan-India; build and scale a high quality supply base across fleet owners, partners, and aggregators
• Design and execute supply acquisition and activation strategies across key lanes.
• Work closely with pricing, product, and analytics to align supply with route level economics.
• Create playbooks for supply onboarding, activation, and retention across corridors.
• Drive metric visibility and review rhythms across supply, fulfilment, and reliability.

The opportunity

This is a build role, not a steady state mandate. The person will define how supply is built, structured, and scaled for OS FTL at a national level. The role demands a combination of first principles thinking and strong execution. The expectation is to operate with high ownership, shape the supply strategy, and translate it into on ground outcomes across corridors.

Who should apply

• Individuals with experience in marketplace operations, with a bias towards supply side problem solving
• Candidates who have spent time in 0 to 1 or early scale journeys and are comfortable working in ambiguity.
• Candidates from startup or tech led operating ecosystems
• Individuals comfortable with product systems, business configurations, and translating operational needs into system level solutions.
