At CricHeroes, we’re building the world’s largest cricket network with 40M+ users. As we expand beyond digital experiences, the CricHeroes Store is focused on delivering high-quality cricket gear to grassroots cricketers across India.
We are looking for a Equipment All-Rounder with strong hands-on experience in cricket equipment retail, distribution, or category management — someone who understands the market deeply and can drive this category with ownership and commercial clarity.
This is a business-critical role requiring a deep understanding of the game, execution strength, supplier understanding, and strong commercial judgement.
The Challenge
Build a strong, profitable, and scalable cricket equipment category within CricHeroes Store — ensuring the right products, strong margins, efficient inventory, and consistent growth.
You will work across developing new products, vendor negotiations, supply management, pricing strategy, inventory planning, and performance tracking — with full accountability for category performance.

- Define and manage the cricket equipment assortment (bats, balls, gloves, pads, helmets, kits, accessories and so on).
- Evaluate product quality, specifications, and pricing competitiveness.
- Continuously optimize the product mix based on demand trends and sales performance.
Vendor & Brand Partnerships
- Identify, onboard,
and manage relationships with manufacturers and distributors.
- Negotiate pricing, margins, credit terms, and supply timelines.
- Ensure reliable supply chain and strong commercial agreements.
Pricing & Commercial Strategy
- Set pricing strategies aligned with market positioning and margin goals.
- Monitor competitor pricing and market trends.
- Drive revenue, margins, and sell-through performance.
Inventory & Operations
- Plan inventory levels and forecast demand.
- Minimize dead stock and optimize stock rotation.
- Work closely with operations for smooth order fulfillment and stock management.
Performance Tracking
- Track category KPIs — revenue, margins, inventory turnover, sell-through rates.
- Identify growth opportunities and implement corrective actions.
- Build structured processes for scalable category management.
What We’re Looking For
- 4-8 years of hands-on experience in cricket equipment retail, distribution, or sports category management.
- Strong understanding of cricket gear quality, pricing structures, and brand positioning.
- Proven experience in vendor negotiations and inventory handling.
- Strong commercial acumen (margins, working capital, pricing strategy).
- Ability to work independently with high ownership.
- Strong analytical and decision-making skills.
- Robust knowledge of cricket equipment, preferably with prior playing experience at a competitive level.
- Passion for cricket and building a brand in this space, driven by an understanding of the game.
Let’s take grassroots cricket global — together.
