Headsup Corporation

<p>We are &nbsp;looking for an AVP – Operations who will be responsible for driving day-to-day fleet operations excellence, leading business expansion into new cities/institutions, and building scalable systems for route and cost optimisation. The ideal candidate is a hands-on operator with a strategic mindset — someone who can run large-scale fleet operations, personally manage a distributed driver workforce, and actively contribute to the company's growth roadmap.</p>
<p><strong>Strategic Mandate&nbsp;</strong><br> Manage end-to-end fleet operations for school transportation contracts, including direct management of drivers and ground staff across cities.&nbsp;<br> Drive route and cost optimisation initiatives using data and technology tools to improve unit economics.&nbsp;<br> Partner with the leadership team to identify, evaluate and execute new city/market expansion opportunities.&nbsp;<br> Build and institutionalise systems, MIS and dashboards for real-time operational visibility.&nbsp;<br> Ensure full regulatory and safety compliance across the fleet and driver ecosystem.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Key Accountabilities</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Fleet &amp; Operations Management&nbsp;<br></strong> Manage end-to-end fleet operations for school transportation contracts — vehicle deployment, driver management, compliance, and safety standards.&nbsp;<br> Build and monitor SOPs for daily fleet operations, ensuring on-time<strong> </strong>performance, vehicle uptime, and service reliability.&nbsp;<strong><br></strong> Drive route optimisation initiatives to reduce transit time, fuel consumption, and vehicle idle time using data and&nbsp;<br>technology tools.&nbsp;<br> Implement cost optimisation frameworks across fuel, maintenance, manpower, and vendor management to improve&nbsp;<br>unit economics.&nbsp;<br> Ensure regulatory compliance (RTO norms, school transport safety guidelines, insurance, driver documentation, etc.).</p>
<p><strong>2. Business Expansion&nbsp;<br></strong> Partner with the leadership team to identify and evaluate new city/market opportunities for expansion.&nbsp;<br> Lead onboarding of new school clients — from operational feasibility assessment to fleet rollout.&nbsp;<br> Build relationships with schools, vendors, and local transport partners to support scale-up.&nbsp;<br> Support development of pricing models, proposals, and contracts for new business.&nbsp;<br> Track expansion KPIs and provide regular business reviews to leadership.&nbsp;<strong><br>3. Driver, Team &amp; Vendor Management&nbsp;<br></strong> Directly manage the driver workforce across all operating cities — recruitment inputs, deployment, discipline, performance and retention.&nbsp;<br> Build, mentor, and manage regional operations teams (city ops managers, drivers, dispatch staff).&nbsp;<br> Manage third-party vendors including vehicle owners/aggregators, maintenance partners, and technology providers.&nbsp;<br> Institute performance management systems and training programs for drivers and ground staff.&nbsp;<strong><br>4. Systems, Data &amp; Reporting&nbsp;<br></strong> Leverage fleet management software/GPS tracking tools for real-time visibility into operations.&nbsp;<br> Set up dashboards and MIS for tracking fleet utilisation, cost per km, on-time delivery, and safety incidents.&nbsp;<br> Present operational and expansion performance data to the leadership team.&nbsp;<br>Performance Scorecard&nbsp;<strong><br></strong>Final targets and weightings should be agreed with the leadership team. The measures below define the expected level of accountability for this role.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Preferred Candidate&nbsp;<br></strong> Ex-servicemen / Ex-Army officers strongly preferred, given the discipline, ground-level leadership, and large-team (including driver) management experience the role demands.&nbsp;<br> Prior experience managing uniformed or field-deployed personnel (transport, logistics, or security operations) will be a strong advantage.</p>
