Warehouse Assistant

The role

Every insight we produce starts with a working device on a shop floor. Getting it there, and keeping it working, is this job.

You build and pack the YoYo Retail Kits, check every device and accessory before it leaves, get them dispatched and delivered, and keep the inventory records straight. Once a store is live, you are also the person they call. A device not charging, a kit short of an accessory, a salesperson who cannot get something working. You pick up, you find out what is wrong, and you get it fixed.

It is detailed work and it is not glamorous. A wrong count in a kit or a shipment nobody chased becomes a store that cannot go live on time. 

How you will work

Nothing here moves unless you move it. Couriers will not update themselves, and a pending issue will sit pending until you pick up the phone. The people who do well in this job are the ones who close things rather than report them. You will work closely with the Technical Assistants on the ground, with the Operations Manager on anything that needs escalating, and directly with store teams once they are live. Most of what you need will not come to you. You will have to go and ask for it.

A lot of this job is currently tracked by hand. If you spot something that should not be manual any more, say so. We would rather fix it than have you keep doing it. 

What you will do

• Prepare and pack the kits. Build YoYo Retail Kits to what the deployment needs. Verify devices, accessories and quantities before anything is dispatched, because a short kit is found at the store and not in the warehouse
• Keep the inventory honest. Maintain records of devices, kits and accessories. Know what is active, what is faulty, what is spare and what is out for replacement, without having to go and count.
• Run last-mile logistics. Coordinate dispatch, track shipments, and follow up with logistics partners on anything delayed or pending until it actually lands.
• Handle replacements, returns and recoveries. Get faulty devices back, get working ones out, and keep the mapping correct through all of it. 
• Support live stores. When a store hits a problem after go-live, connect with their team, understand the issue and resolve it. Loop in a Technical Assistant when it needs someone on the ground. 
• Maintain the trackers. Devices, kits, shipments, TA activity and deployments. These are what everyone else plans from, so they have to be current.
• Support new deployments. Make sure everything operational for a new store or brand is done on time, and escalate anything critical to the Operations Manager early rather than late.

What we are looking for

Must have

• 1 to 3 years in operations, logistics, field operations or inventory management
• Basic Excel and Google Sheets. You should be comfortable maintaining a tracker and spotting when something in it does not add up 
• Attention to detail. Counts, mappings and serial numbers have to be right the first time 
• Relentless follow-up. Most of this job is making sure something that was promised actually happened 
• Good communication. You will be talking to couriers, store staff and technical assistants in the same hour 
• Fluent Hindi, plus two South Indian languages, preferably Kannada and Tamil. You will be speaking to store teams directly, in whatever they speak on the floor
• Comfort working hands-on with devices, packaging and inventory 

Good to have 

• Experience with hardware, electronics or any inventory that has serial numbers attached to it
• Exposure to e-commerce or last-mile delivery operations
• Any experience supporting customers over phone or WhatsApp 
• Comfort with AI or automation tools to cut down repetitive tracker work
