Role Summary

Farmio is scaling rapidly across Asia, with Singapore as a core strategic market. The General Manager will lead and expand all Singapore business activities—including commercial development, operations, supply-chain execution, and organisational build-out. This role requires a senior operator with strong leadership maturity, entrepreneurial bias for action, and the ability to drive complex initiatives in a fast-moving environment.

You will collaborate directly with the Founder to execute the market growth roadmap, deploy Farmio’s AI-enabled operating system, and strengthen the end-to-end supply-chain infrastructure across Singapore. This role is suited for individuals who excel in ambiguity, operate with high accountability, and can build scalable structures while maintaining operational rigor.

Key Responsibilities

1. Market Growth & Business Development

• Shape and execute Farmio’s market expansion strategy in Singapore, including category development, customer acquisition, and commercial initiatives.

• Lead the development of new product verticals and cross-border supply-chain opportunities across Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and other sourcing markets.

• Manage and deepen relationships with key accounts, restaurant groups, retail chains, and distribution partners.

• Oversee contract negotiations, tenders, and partnerships to drive sustainable, long-term revenue streams.

• Establish a robust market intelligence loop to identify opportunities, competitive dynamics, pricing shifts, and operational improvement areas.

2. Operations & Supply-Chain Excellence

• Oversee day-to-day operations, including warehousing, logistics, distribution, inventory management, procurement workflows, and order fulfillment.

• Implement and optimise SOPs across Sales → Operations → Logistics → Finance to ensure seamless coordination and high service reliability.

• Drive operational performance improvements across metrics such as fulfillment accuracy, dispatch timeliness, route efficiency, inventory integrity, and customer satisfaction.

• Lead the operational rollout of Farmio’s AI modules (e.g., dynamic route planning, demand forecasting, inventory optimisation) and ensure adoption within daily workflows.

• Ensure compliance with all food safety, regulatory, importation, and quality-control standards.

3. Team Leadership, Culture & Organisational Development

• Lead, coach, and develop Singapore’s cross-functional teams—including Sales, Operations, Logistics, Customer Support, and Administrative functions.

• Build scalable organisational structures, talent pipelines, and succession plans as volume and market complexity increase.

• Establish and enforce clear performance metrics, discipline standards, and accountability mechanisms across teams.

• Foster a culture of operational rigor, continuous improvement, and data-driven decision making.

• Align team incentives, behaviours, and execution cadence with company-wide strategic goals.

4. Strategic Initiatives & Cross-Market Coordination

• Lead strategic projects including new warehouse setups, category launches, infrastructure upgrades, and cross-border workflow integration.

• Serve as the primary market leader interfacing with regional and headquarters teams (Product, Tech, Supply Chain, Finance).

• Drive cross-market consistency while adapting processes to Singapore’s unique operational characteristics.

• Prepare and deliver structured performance updates, operational insights, and strategic recommendations to the Founder and executive leadership.
