WHAT WILL YOU DO AT WHOLSUM FOODS?

Unlike a traditional Sales Director role, the Wholsum Foods CRO has the mandate to redefine how a healthy food brand reaches the modern Indian parents. You will have the resources of a well-funded startup and the brand equity of a category leader to experiment with new revenue models. You will be the architect of Wholsum Foods’ next phase of growth. As we scale toward a multi-hundred-crore revenue target, the CRO will synchronize our high-growth digital presence with a robust, premium physical retail footprint. This role requires an FMCG veteran who understands the nuances of traditional distribution but has the digital fluency to dominate "New Commerce.

Responsibilities:

1. Strategic Channel Relationship Building (The "Partnership" Pillar) The CRO must move beyond transactional selling to create high-level strategic alliances:

Joint Business Plans (JBPs): Lead annual and quarterly JBP negotiations with major platforms (Amazon, Blinkit, Zepto, Reliance) to secure preferential visibility, lower take-rates, and data-sharing agreements.
Modern Trade Alliances: Build "Category Captain" relationships with premium retailers (Nature’s Basket, Foodhall, Spencer’s). Position Slurrp Farm/Millé not just as a vendor, but as a consultant on the "Healthy Breakfast/Snacking" category.
Distributor Ecosystem Management: Design and oversee a high-performance distributor network for General Trade, ensuring transparency, ROI for partners, and long-term loyalty in a competitive market.
Influencer & Community Revenue: Partner with the Marketing team to turn brand communities into revenue streams, ensuring D2C exclusive launches feel like "events" for our most loyal customers.

2. Revenue Operations & Channel Harmony

Channel Conflict Mitigation: Implement a "One-Price" or "Tiered-SKU" strategy to ensure that aggressive Q-commerce discounting does not alienate Modern Trade partners.
Inventory & Demand Sensing: Collaborate with Supply Chain to ensure 98%+ fill rates across all channels. Use real-time data from Blinkit/Zepto to predict demand surges and prevent stock-outs.
Trade Marketing Excellence: Allocate and optimize "Below the Line" (BTL) spending. Ensure that every rupee spent on shelf-branding or digital banners has a clear, tracked ROI.

3. D2C & Digital Revenue Growth

LTV Optimization: Treat the D2C website as the "Brand Flagship." Lead the team to improve Average Order Value (AOV) and Repeat Purchase Rates through personalization and subscription models.
Performance Marketing Oversight: Work closely with the CMO to ensure that performance spending is driving profitable revenue, not just "vanity metrics."

4. Sales Force Leadership & Culture

Field Force Transformation: Move the sales team from "order takers" to "growth consultants" by implementing SFA (Sales Force Automation) tools and data-driven beat plans.
Talent Mentorship: Build a high-performance culture where the team is incentivized not just on "Secondary Sales" but on "Shelf Health" and "Brand Presence."

WHAT YOU WILL BRING WITH YOU?

Professional Background

The FMCG Foundation: A minimum of 10 years in a "Legacy" FMCG powerhouse (e.g., HUL, Nestlé, ITC, Marico). You must know the "science" of distribution, margin structures, and trade schemes.
The Scale-up Experience: 5+ years in a leadership role at a high-growth D2C or "Challenger" brand. You must be comfortable with ambiguity, rapid pivots, and the tech stack of modern commerce.
The Revenue Track Record: Proven experience managing a P&L of ₹200 Cr+ with a clear history of scaling brands across multiple geographies.

Competencies for Wholsum Foods

Strategic Negotiation: The ability to sit across the table from a Category Head at Amazon or Reliance and negotiate terms that protect Wholsum’s margins.
Analytical Rigor: You should be as comfortable in a complex Excel pivot table as you are in a field visit to a local kirana store.
Passion for Nutrition: A genuine belief in the mission of Slurrp Farm and Millé to bring millets back to the plate.

STARTING DATE: April 2026

LOCATION: Golf Course Road, Gurugram

Wholsum Foods is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity in its workforce.
