• Manage local stocking of spares at Vizag, with dispatch to sites via local courier networks
• Oversee low-value spares stocked in mobile vans and at customer locations, secured under lock and key with field engineers

Customer & Breakdown Management

• Coordinate closely with customer teams to ensure spares reach breakdown sites within a strict 4-12 hour window
• Serve as the senior escalation point commanding customer confidence and trust at the GM level

Commercial Ownership

• Drive timely collection of payments from the customer, maintaining commercial discipline alongside operational delivery

What We're Looking For

• Qualification: BE (any discipline) + MBA
• Experience: Senior techno-commercial professional with a strong background in field service, project operations, or supply chain - ideally within IVD, diagnostics, healthcare equipment or medical device services
• Age: 40s
• Presence: Strong executive presence with the gravitas to command respect from customers at the GM level
• Language: Working knowledge of Telugu (native fluency not required)

Why This Role

• A rare GM-level mandate with true end-to-end ownership - service, supply chain, inventory and commercial collections all under one seat
• Direct customer-facing authority and decision-making power
• High-impact, mission-critical operation supporting a diagnostics program that directly affects patient care delivery
