We empower businesses, both large and small, to optimize their operations and unleash unprecedented growth in their core functions. Industry Leadership: As the fastest-growing leader in last-mile logistics, we have a pan India and International presence with operations spanning multiple cities. With a fleet size exceeding 750k driver partners and 15 million customers, Porter is at the forefront of this dynamic and rapidly expanding sector.
- Thriving Community: Join a community of passionate individuals committed to doing the best work of their lives.
We are looking for a driven Business Manager to own and drive high-impact programs within Porter's Payments charter — spanning vendor management, cost optimization, multi-vendor architecture, security/compliance, and current-market payment expansion. As an individual contributor, you will own end-to-end vendor management for payments, SMS, and e-invoicing across markets — finding, evaluating, negotiating, and onboarding vendors, then managing the relationship afterward — while also driving the programs that sit on top of that vendor base: cost optimization, multi-vendor architecture for resilience and leverage, Infosec/security initiatives within the payment charter, and building Porter's understanding of new-country payment rails and local infrastructure. This is a build-from-scratch role: there is usually no existing playbook for a given market, vendor category, or program, so you'll need to develop your own read on the landscape, judge technical fit against Porter's infrastructure,
and carry both deals and programs through to execution — all while staying current enough on payment rails, local regulation, and security requirements to know what's actually negotiable or non-negotiable.
Vendor Management: Own the end-to-end vendor lifecycle across payments and adjacent channels — sourcing, evaluating, negotiating, onboarding, and managing the relationship for the life of the contract.
- Build Porter's foundational understanding of new markets — payment rails, local infrastructure, and adjacent compliance requirements — to support new-geography launches.
- Security & Compliance: Ensure vendor, architecture, and program decisions within the payments charter meet Porter's security and regulatory bar, partnering with Infosec as needed.
- Technical & Commercial Judgment: Evaluate technical fit against Porter's infrastructure and negotiate commercial terms accordingly — knowing what's genuinely fixed vs. Landscape Building: Bachelor's in Engineering from a Tier-1 institution
- 2+ years of experience spanning vendor management, program/project management, payments/fintech partnerships, or strategic sourcing — exposure to payment gateways, PSPs, or banking rails is a plus
- Strong negotiation instincts, from commercial terms to contractual close
- Willingness to build regulatory fluency in a new market (India or Southeast Asia) as needed
- Comfortable operating cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Security, Legal, and Finance
