About Airbound

Our mission is to make a world where everyone has access to delivery. Where goods move as freely as information moves today.

This is possible. Today the cost of moving on a scooter is ₹2/km. That’s the cost of moving a 150kg mass from point A to B. We’re bringing that mass down to less than 5kgs, concurrently bringing the cost down to 10 paise/km. This is how we make deliveries a reality. This is how we create a world where we’re doing billions of deliveries per day.

The tech is not there. The current cost of drone delivery is ₹100/km. We need to completely redefine the way things are done here. We’re building the world’s most efficient aircraft from the ground-up, and scaling that up to beyond anything the aerospace sector has ever seen. This cannot be an iterative process. We have to tear down all conventions and build everything up from scratch.

To do this, we need nothing less than the best engineers. The ones who care about building something fundamentally different, who are deeply curious about understanding the fundamentals of everything they’re working on, who are dreamers that believe in the impossible.


Key Responsibilities
  • Proactive Procurement — Anticipate consumables, spare parts, tools, PPE, and field equipment needs for the Flight Ops team; initiate purchase requests well ahead of requirement, without needing to be prompted

  • People Management — Lead, support, and coordinate the Flight Ops team day-to-day; assign and track tasks, keep everyone aligned, and step in to resolve bottlenecks so the team stays motivated and operations run without disruption

  • Vendor & Supplier Management — Identify, onboard, and maintain relationships with local and online vendors for drone components, safety gear, site equipment, and other ops supplies

  • Inventory Tracking — Own and maintain a real-time inventory of all field equipment and consumables; flag low-stock items and reorder before gaps impact operations

  • Logistics Coordination — Manage inbound and outbound shipments, handle last-mile delivery of equipment to field sites across Andhra Pradesh, Bangalore and surrounding areas

  • Cross-functional Coordination — Act as the primary liaison between the Flight Ops team and internal functions (HQ Admin, finance, procurement, HR) to unblock day-to-day operational needs

  • Admin Coordination — Work closely with the Flight Ops admin to keep day-to-day operations running smoothly

  • Field Support Readiness — Ensure every field mission departs fully equipped — no missing gear, no last-minute scrambles


Qualifications

Must-Have
  • Native or fluent Telugu speaker — essential for vendor coordination, site liaison, and local logistics

  • 1–3 years of experience in team management, admin, procurement, field coordination, or operations support (startup or field-heavy environment preferred)

  • Demonstrated ability to move fast, figure things out independently, and get things done with minimal hand-holding

  • Strong communicator — clear and direct in written and spoken communication, both in Telugu and English/Hindi


Good to Have
  • Prior exposure to hardware/deep-tech/logistics environments

  • Familiarity with basic purchase order workflows, GST invoicing, or vendor onboarding

  • Comfortable using tools like Google Sheets, WhatsApp Business, and basic inventory trackers


Who You Are
  • You think two steps ahead — the ops team never has to ask you twice for the same thing

  • You're resourceful and street-smart; you know how to get the best deal and the fastest delivery in Andhra Pradesh

  • You take ownership without needing a checklist

Work location: Field deployment across client sites in Andhra Pradesh & Bangalore to set up operations | Hoskote, Bangalore (Headquarters)

What We Offer
