About Coromandel Watch Co.

Coromandel Watch Co. is a growing Indian watch microbrand focused on designing and building thoughtfully crafted watches inspired by Indian culture, heritage, and stories.

The Role

We are looking for a highly organised, hands-on Operations Manager who can manage and streamline our daily business operations across inventory, order fulfilment, logistics, vendors, customer service, and internal coordination.

This is a key role for someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems, and building efficient systems in a fast-growing company.

Inventory Management

* Maintain accurate inventory records across watches, straps, packaging, accessories, and other components.

* Conduct regular physical stock audits and reconcile discrepancies.

* Coordinate inventory allocation during product launches and restocks.

* Monitor stock levels and coordinate replenishment requirements.

Vendor & Supplier Coordination

* Coordinate with manufacturers, packaging suppliers, logistics partners, and other vendors.

* Follow up on production, deliveries, quality issues, and pending requirements.

* Maintain robust communication with vendors and ensure timelines are followed.





Customer & After-Sales Operations

* Coordinate with the customer support team to resolve operational issues.

* Handle escalations related to shipping, replacements, servicing, and order fulfilment.

* Coordinate warranty/service requirements with the relevant teams.

Process & Team Management

* Develop and improve SOPs for daily operations.

* Strong organisational and problem-solving skills.

* Excellent communication and follow-up skills.

* Comfortable working with Excel/Google Sheets and e-commerce platforms.

* Experience with Shopify, shipping aggregators, or inventory management systems is an advantage.

* Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities independently.

* Strong attention to detail.

* A hands-on attitude. This is not a purely desk-based management role.

* Experience managing a small team is preferred.

What Matters Most
