HEAD – E-COMMERCE & QUICK COMMERCE
Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka
Department: E-Commerce & Quick Commerce
Employment Type: Full-Time
ABOUT KOSHER
Kosher is one of India's fastest-growing tissue manufacturing companies with a strong presence across the country through multiple manufacturing facilities and an expanding distribution network. Built on a foundation of quality, innovation, and customer trust, we are now on an ambitious journey to evolve into one of India's most respected FMCG companies.
Over the years, Kosher has built a strong presence across institutional, hospitality, healthcare, retail, and B2B markets. As we enter the next phase of our journey, our focus is to strengthen our existing brands, build new consumer categories, expand our product portfolio, and create a strong direct-to-consumer and digital presence.
As part of this growth journey, we are looking for an exceptional Head – E-Commerce & Quick Commerce who can build and lead our digital commerce business and make E-Commerce and Quick Commerce a significant growth engine for the company.
POSITION SUMMARY The Head – E-Commerce & Quick Commerce will have end-to-end responsibility for developing, building, and scaling Kosher's digital commerce business across E-Commerce, Quick Commerce, Marketplaces, D2C, and emerging digital channels.
The role will own the overall digital business strategy, revenue growth, profitability, platform relationships, product assortment, pricing, promotions, digital marketing, analytics, inventory coordination, and team building.
Working closely with the Founder and Executive Leadership Team, the Head will be responsible for turning Kosher's digital opportunity into a scalable and profitable business.
This is not a marketplace operations role. We are looking for a business leader who can understand the complete digital ecosystem, identify opportunities, build the right strategy, create the right team, and take ownership of business outcomes.
The ideal candidate should be comfortable operating in a fast-paced setting where the expectation is not simply to manage an existing business, but to build, scale, experiment, and create.
