This is a hands-on, field-intensive role working directly with Rural Entrepreneur Partners (EPs), farmers, warehouse staff, and agronomists in rural settings. You will conduct daily monitoring, verify compliance with agricultural protocols, track performance gates, and detect problems before they become losses.

This is not a limitation—it is the strategy. Every manual inspection you conduct, every data point you record, every problem you document becomes the foundation for designing effective automation systems when we scale. You are building the blueprint.

As Controls Officer, you are the eyes and hands of the company's performance management function in India. Your job is to execute systematic controls that protect our pilot investment, prevent value leakage, and gather the data that proves (or disproves) our business model.
