Head Of Logistics

Company: SOLARA (Win The Buy Box Private Limited)

Location: On-site at our warehouse, Hyderabad

Type: Full-time

SOLARA is a fast-growing D2C consumer brand in the home & kitchen space — cookware, small kitchen appliances, and drinkware — selling across Amazon, Flipkart, Blinkit, Zepto, our own Shopify store, and a growing offline/B2B channel. As volumes scale across all these channels, our warehouse is the engine that keeps every order moving. Were hiring a hands-on leader to run it.

As Warehouse Manager / Head of Logistics, youll run the warehouse day-to-day and own all outbound shipments — B2B/vendor inbound to Amazon and Flipkart, quick-commerce dispatches, and B2B shipments to offline customers and distributors. Youll be responsible for throughput, accuracy, dispatch SLAs, and cost — and for building and managing the floor team and contract labor that make it happen. This is a warehouse-floor role, not a desk role. Youll report directly to the leadership team.

• Own all outbound shipments — plan and execute B2B/vendor consignments to Amazon and Flipkart (appointments, labeling, ASN/inbound compliance, palletization) and B2B shipments to offline customers and distributors.
• Maximize warehouse throughput — design and optimize layout, slotting, picking, packing, and dispatch flows to push more volume through the same footprint, faster.
• Hit dispatch SLAs — ensure same-day/next-day dispatch targets, marketplace appointment windows, and quick-commerce timelines are consistently met.
• Manage the floor labor — recruit, organize, train, schedule, and supervise warehouse staff and contract/unorganized labor; set daily targets and drive productivity and discipline.
• Run inventory accuracy — own cycle counts, stock accuracy, GRN/inward, returns processing, and warehouse-to-system reconciliation; minimize shrinkage and damage.
• Manage logistics partners — coordinate with transporters, 3PLs, and surface/LTL carriers; negotiate rates, manage performance, and resolve dispatch issues.
• Ensure marketplace compliance — meet Amazon and Flipkart vendor/FBA inbound requirements (packaging, labeling, box specs, documentation) to avoid chargebacks and rejections.
• Drive cost & efficiency — control labor, packaging, and freight costs; track and improve cost-per-order and cost-per-shipment.
• Build the system — establish SOPs, safety standards, and KPIs; bring structure and process to the warehouse as it scales.

• 6+ years in warehouse operations / logistics / supply chain, with at least 2–3 years in a managerial or head role running a warehouse floor.
• Direct experience dispatching to Amazon and Flipkart (vendor central / FBA inbound, appointments, labeling, and compliance) — strongly preferred.
• Proven people management of large blue-collar / contract / unorganized labor teams — you know how to organize, motivate, and hold a floor accountable.
• Throughput and process mindset — youve measurably improved picking/packing/dispatch productivity, layout, or order accuracy.
• Strong grasp of inventory control, GRN, returns, and stock reconciliation.
• Experience managing transporters and 3PLs and negotiating freight.
• Hands-on, on-the-floor leadership style — comfortable being present in the warehouse daily, not managing from a distance.
• Working knowledge of WMS/ERP systems and comfort with data (Excel/dashboards) to track KPIs.

• Experience in D2C, e-commerce, or consumer-goods fulfillment with multi-channel dispatch (marketplace + quick-commerce + offline B2B).
• Experience setting up or scaling a warehouse, or implementing a WMS.
• Familiarity with quick-commerce (Blinkit / Zepto) dispatch flows.
• Lean / Six Sigma or similar process-improvement exposure.
  

• Own the entire warehouse and logistics function end-to-end, with real authority and direct access to leadership.
• High-growth brand with rising volumes across every major channel — a chance to build, not just maintain.
• A fast-moving, execution-focused team that ships every day.
