Job Responsibility:
Cluster & Team Leadership: Oversee multiple grocery sites, mentoring a team of associates and senior associates. You’ll conduct performance reviews and build team capability through structured field coaching.

Operational Audits: Conduct regular store walkthroughs to ensure strict adherence to our Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and quality standards.
Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary point of contact for partner management teams, collaborating cross-functionally with Supply Chain and Central Ops to resolve escalations.
Strategic Reporting: Consolidate cluster-level insights for Weekly and Monthly Business Reviews (WBR/MBR), presenting performance data and strategic recommendations to Regional Managers.
Requirements:
Multi-Site Leadership: Significant experience (3–4 years) in grocery, retail, or last-mile operations, with a proven track record of managing teams and multiple locations.
Analytical Rigour: Strong understanding of grocery metrics (B10s, IUNS, rejections) and the ability to interpret complex dashboards to drive operational changes.
Stakeholder Influence: Excellent communication skills with the ability to manage relationships with both on-ground store staff and senior central leadership.
Technical Proficiency: Proficient in using mobile/tablet applications and operational reporting tools to track live performance.
Mobility: A valid UAE driving licence and access to your own transport are essential for this field-based leadership role.
