Job Description

About Trublz

We're building a candy brand for young India - indulgence-first, loud, cheeky, and made for the kids and teens of today who are done with anything boring. The brand is being built as part of The Foundery, a venture-builder program by Kishore Biyani, Nikhil Kamath, and Ronnie Screwvala.

The Role

We're hiring a Supply Chain & Ops Lead to build the function from zero. You'll own the end-to-end supply chain - from sourcing to warehousing to fulfilment. This is a founding seat. You won't inherit a function - you'll build it.

What you'll do

Run supply chain and ops on the ground - everything from ingredients to a customer's mouth passes through you.

Manufacturing coordination - India and international. Work with contract manufacturers in India, and with international partners where formats or ingredients require it. Own production plans, briefs, and quality checks across both.
Procurement and inventory. Source ingredients and packaging (domestic and imported), keep stock at the right levels, manage vendor relationships across geographies.
Imports and compliance. Manage customs, food safety compliance (FSSAI and international), and logistics for imported ingredients or finished goods.
Quality and food safety. Own QC processes and food safety across the chain — from factory floor to dispatch.
Dispatch and fulfilment. Move product from factory to warehouse to channels — cleanly, on time, without waste.
A small team. Hire and manage coordinators, QC associates, and warehouse staff as volume grows.

What we are looking for

Must Have

3–4 years in ops or supply chain in packaged food brand
High-ownership, organised, sharp on execution.
Comfortable with sheets, dashboards, and on-ground problem solving.
Genuinely good with people and vendors , a lot of this is chasing and unblocking.

Good To Have

Hands-on contract manufacturing experience in food or FMCG
FSSAI / food-safety awareness
Experience managing international suppliers or manufacturers - imports, customs, and cross-border logistics
Experience with logistics, warehousing, or D2C fulfilment
Set up ops from zero at an earlier startup

Success in this role

After 3–6 months, you will:

Have manufacturing partners set up with clear SOPs on production, quality, and dispatch.
Have inventory, procurement, and QC systems running cleanly.
Be leading a small ops team (QC, coordinators, warehouse) that runs without you needing to hold their hand.

Our Way of Working

Four principles guide how we work:

1. Earn the claps: We obsess over what the audience will love. Everything we make has to win a real reaction.

2. Always forward: We back the builder over the critic, and we keep our eyes ahead - no grudges, no replaying old debates.

3. Disagree & commit: We argue ideas hard. Once the call is made, we're all in - no second-guessing, no quiet undermining.

4. Calm in chaos: When things get noisy or uncertain, we stay calm and focused on what matters. No panic, no drift.
