- Build strong relationships with platform category and business teams.

- Drive revenue, visibility, assortment, availability and share of category.

- Own advertising efficiency and marketplace contribution margins.

- Improve listing quality, ratings, reviews, conversion and organic ranking.

- Manage promotions, deals, launches and platform events strategically.

- Closely track commissions, advertising, returns, logistics and other marketplace costs.

Quick Commerce:

- Own growth across Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart and emerging Q-commerce platforms.

- Build senior relationships with platform teams and negotiate commercials, visibility and expansion.

- Drive city, dark-store, SKU and platform-level performance.

- Ensure strong fill rates, availability and inventory productivity.

- Expand assortment and launch new categories intelligently.

- Make clear resource-allocation decisions across channels based on opportunity and profitability.

Build & Lead the Team:

- You know when to get into the details and when to let your team own the solution.

- You build strong relationships with platforms but negotiate hard when the economics don't work.
