Role summary

This is a full-time remote position focused on strengthening BigBasket’s network of organic sourcing partners. The role centers on finding, onboarding, and maintaining relationships with organic farmers while ensuring they follow organic farming standards and certification requirements.

What the role involves

You will support day-to-day field coordination, including virtual or in-person farm visits when required. The job includes monitoring crop planning and produce quality, checking and validating documents, and working closely with internal teams on procurement and quality verification.

You will also guide farming partners on organic cultivation methods, sustainable agriculture practices, and proper handling after harvest. In addition, you will monitor performance indicators, prepare regular updates and reports, address operational challenges, and help improve the organic supply chain.

Qualifications and expectations

The ideal candidate should understand organic farming methods, certification norms, and sustainable agriculture practices. Prior experience in field operations, farmer coordination, or agri-supply chain work is preferred, especially in fresh produce or retail environments.

The role suits someone who is self-driven, comfortable working remotely, and capable of planning work independently. Good time management, problem-solving ability, and a willingness to travel to farming locations when needed are important. Experience with post-harvest handling and basic supply chain processes will be an added advantage. A degree in Agriculture, Horticulture, or a related discipline is preferred, and the role calls for inclusive collaboration with diverse communities.
