Operations Manager

About the role

Human Archive runs large-scale field deployments to collect egocentric robotics data.

We are hiring a Field Operations Manager to own the day-to-day execution of these deployments. You will coordinate field teams, hardware, transportation, schedules, and deployment locations to make sure every operation starts on time and hits its daily targets.

This is a highly hands-on role for someone who is organised, resourceful, and comfortable solving problems in real time.

What you will do

Plan and manage daily field deployments

Coordinate field teams, team leads, vehicles, hardware, and deployment locations

Create daily schedules and assign people across projects

Ensure teams receive the right equipment and reach locations on time

Track attendance, deployment progress, productivity, and daily targets

Coordinate with inventory teams for hardware dispatches and returns

Handle transport, accommodation, vendor, and other logistical requirements

Resolve last-minute issues such as absences, delays, hardware failures, or location changes

Maintain clear daily reports and operational dashboards

Improve processes to make deployments faster, more reliable, and more efficient

Help launch operations in new locations and cities

Hire, train, and manage field coordinators and team leads as the operation scales

Who we are looking for

Strong experience in field operations, logistics, workforce management, or last-mile operations

Excellent at coordinating large numbers of people and moving parts

Highly organised and detail-oriented

Comfortable working with targets, dashboards, and daily performance metrics

Strong communication and people-management skills

Calm and decisive when things go wrong

Willing to be on the ground and take full ownership of execution

High agency, urgency, and willingness to do whatever is required to get the deployment completed

Experience at companies such as Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy, Urban Company, Delhivery, Porter, Amazon, Flipkart, or similar operations-heavy businesses is a strong advantage.

This is not a strategy-only role. You will be expected to be closely involved in daily execution and field problem-solving.
