Design, launch, and scale operational processes for the electronics vertical from the ground up or take existing operations to a significantly higher level of performance.

Establish standard operating procedures, performance benchmarks, and quality frameworks that can sustain rapid growth.

Own the analytics layer of operations: define the KPIs that matter, build dashboards, and use data daily to diagnose problems and make decisions.

Apply quantitative thinking to identify bottlenecks, forecast demand, optimise capacity, and allocate resources effectively.

Build a culture where decisions are evidence-based and gut feelings are validated with numbers.

Actively identify and integrate AI tools and automation into operational workflows to increase speed, accuracy, and team output.

Stay at the frontier of how technology is changing operations and bring that knowledge into Soum before it becomes standard practice.

Anticipate risks before they become problems and have contingency plans ready.

Drive cross-functional alignment with Product, Tech, Commercial, and Customer Experience teams to deliver on shared goals.

Build, develop, and lead an operations team — setting high standards, providing clear direction, and holding people accountable.

4–5+ years of progressive operations experience, ideally in e-commerce, last-mile delivery, logistics, or a related high-throughput environment.

Demonstrated track record of building large-scale operations from scratch or scaling them significantly — not just maintaining them.

Genuinely excited about AI — you follow developments in the space, experiment with new tools proactively, and find ways to apply them to operational challenges.
