Area Business Manager

Experience:** 2–10 years

Location:** Across Multiple locations - Pan India

Role Summary**

We are looking for a founder-minded operator to run a geography like it's their own business. As an Area Business Manager, you will own a cluster of stores end to end- the numbers, the teams, the customer experience — with the autonomy to make calls and the accountability to deliver on them.

This is a role for builders: People with sharp business acumen, people leadership at scale, and the appetite to operate independently in a fast-scaling, ambiguity-rich environment where pace is a feature, not a bug.

What You Will Own**

Business Performance**

Deliver revenue, productivity, and profitability targets for the assigned stores in a cluster (12-15 stores)

Drive performance through data-led reviews, insights, and action planning

Identify local growth opportunities and execute market-specific initiatives

Operational Excellence**

Ensure consistent execution of operational standards and processes across locations

Drive efficiency, compliance, and service quality

Monitor key metrics and proactively resolve performance gaps

People Leadership**

Lead large, distributed frontline teams through strong performance management and coaching (50+ individuals)

Build a high-performance culture focused on accountability and results

Drive manpower productivity, capability development, and retention

Customer Experience**

Embed a customer-first culture across the area

Track customer feedback and service indicators, and drive continuous improvement

Execution & Governance**

Manage multiple priorities and deliver outcomes within tight timelines

Ensure strong governance through structured reviews, audits, and reporting

Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to drive business initiatives

Education**

MBA / PGDM or B.E. / B.Tech from a Tier 1/2 institution.

Experience**

2–10 years of experience in sales or business management roles

Experience managing multiple locations, territories, or distribution channels; large/Retail store formats

Background in high-scale, consumer-facing industries preferred

Key Competencies**

P&L Ownership:** Drives end-to-end performance of a geography/business unit with full accountability.

Data-Driven Leadership:** Uses analytics to inform decisions and unlock growth.

Scale Management:** Leads and develops large frontline teams (50–150) to deliver consistent results

Execution Intensity:** Translates strategy into disciplined, on-ground delivery under constraints.

Structured Decision-Making:** Applies rigorous problem-solving and strong business judgment.

Stakeholder & Customer Alignment:** Influences cross-functional partners while championing customer experience.

Why This Role**

Because you won't be maintaining a machine you'll be building one. You get a real P&L, a large team, and the freedom to run your area the way an owner would.

We are in a phase of rapid expansion where performance dictates progression. At Lenskart, leadership opportunities come early, and advancement is based on merit rather than a fixed timeline.

If you want a role where the outcomes are visible, the decisions are yours, and the growth curve is steep.
