• Lead commercial negotiations, including cost estimation, pricing discussions, and contract terms.
• Accelerate supply acquisition across North and West India markets, contributing directly to FlixBus's network expansion goals.
• Coordinate cross-functionally with Operations, Finance, and Network Planning to ensure seamless partner integration and compliance.
• Manage and maintain CRM records, contracts, settlement workflows, and partner data with a high degree of accuracy.
• Produce regular reporting and business analysis to track partner performance, flag risks, and support data-backed decision-making.
• Contribute to strategic initiatives such as large fleet partnerships, supply chain monetization, and long-term network planning.
• Streamline internal processes around CRM usage, settlements, and contracting workflows for greater operational efficiency.

About you

• Minimum 3 years of full-time experience in business development, partner/vendor management, B2B operations, or a closely related field.
• Strong communication and negotiation skills, with a proven ability to manage external stakeholders and close commercial agreements.
• Proficient in Excel and PowerPoint; comfortable with data analysis and building clear, compelling presentations.
• Hands-on experience with CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce or equivalent); ability to maintain data hygiene and extract actionable insights.
• Experience using AI productivity tools and digital workflows to improve efficiency and output quality.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, target-driven environment with multiple concurrent priorities.
• Strong analytical mindset — comfortable using data to guide decisions, manage partner expectations, and track business outcomes.
• Background in mobility, travel-tech, logistics, OTA, or startup ecosystems is a strong advantage.
• Exposure to dashboarding, reporting tools, or commercial negotiation in a B2B context is preferred.
• Diversity candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

• Hybrid work model: 5-day work week with 3 days in office and 2 days working from home.
• High-impact hiring exposure: Gain hands-on experience in large-scale and business-critical recruitment.
