Bazana! is a fast-growing FMCG snack brand focused on offering healthier, roasted, oil-free snack options for people with active lifestyles across India. The company aims to become the #1 snack brand for active India by combining quality ingredients with accessible pricing.

About the RoleBazana! is a healthy snacking branded foods business scaling toward ₹280 crore this year, run by a lean team moving at high speed.

This role exists because that pace creates a gap: things the Business Head needs tracked, fixed, or filtered that no single functional team owns.

This is not a traditional EA role, and it is not a pure analyst role.

It is a force-multiplier role built around three pillars:

? Data Analytics × Executive Support × Sales Operations

You will sit close enough to the business to see how a P&L; is actually run — and be trusted to act on what you see, not just report it.

? PILLAR 1 — Strategic PlanningKeep the team aligned to the Business Head's goals and ensure the numbers that matter are always in view.

- Own the KPI cadence — sales mix, GP, ECC ratio and ad spend efficiency — across Modern Trade, General Trade, Q-Commerce/Marketplaces and Corporates/Institutions.
- Run the data crunching that feeds the profitability agenda; convert raw numbers into a decision-ready narrative, not a data dump.
- Build and drive the weekly agenda — chase inputs from channel leads, pressure-test the numbers and keep the review cadence tight.




- Flag deviations from plan before they reach the Business Head's desk, with a recommendation attached — not just a red flag.

? PILLAR 2 — Operational FixesBe the first line of defence — step into gaps, solve what's urgent and remove friction before it slows the team down.
- Act as the de facto Sales Coordinator: audit sales and reporting hygiene across channel teams and chase fixes directly with owners.
- Interface confidently with channel leads and field teams across a wide range of educational and experiential backgrounds — this is a floor role as much as a desk role.
- Step into urgent, unowned problems as they surface — a stuck vendor, a missed handoff, a reporting gap — without waiting to be asked.
- Spot repeat inefficiencies in sales operations and fix the workflow, not just the instance.

? PILLAR 3 — Communication BridgeAct as a trusted proxy for the Business Head — filtering signal from noise and connecting the dots across teams.
- Triage the Business Head's inbox daily: separate urgent, important and routine, and draft first-cut responses for the routine.
- Maintain a single running log of open items and follow-ups owed across Sales, Marketing, Brand and Sales Ops, so nothing falls through.
- Represent the Business Head's priorities accurately when coordinating across functions — carrying context both ways,



not just messages.
- Prep sharp, one-page briefs ahead of internal and external meetings so the Business Head walks in ready.

? What We're Looking For• MBA from a Tier 2 B-school with 0–2 years of post-MBA experience. Internships/prior stints in sales ops, consulting or analytics are a plus.

- Strong Excel/data skills — comfortable building trackers, pivoting large datasets and spotting the signal in the noise.
- Sharp written communication — able to draft crisp emails and turn messy inputs into clean structure.
- High EQ and adaptability — equally comfortable in a leadership review and a candid conversation with a field sales executive.
- Genuinely young and hungry — high ownership, low ego and comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-scaling, understaffed setting.
- Discretion — this role sees sensitive commercial and people information before most of the organization does.

? What Success Looks Like in 6 MonthsStrategic Planning:

A self-updating KPI/profitability tracker is in place and trusted enough to drive real decisions.

Operational Fixes:

Sales hygiene issues are caught and resolved before they become escalations.

Communication Bridge:

The Business Head's inbox, calendar and cross-team follow-ups run with minimal oversight.

? How to ApplySend your CV along with a short note (under 150 words) answering:

“Tell us about a time you turned messy data into a decision.”

⚠️ Applications without the note will not be reviewed.

If you are someone who enjoys being at the centre of the action, solving problems before they become problems, and learning how a business is actually run — this could be your role.
