Position : Operations Analyst

Location: Gurugram

About the Role

This is a high-exposure, high-ownership role for someone who wants to be thrown into the deep end from Day 1. You will sit at the intersection of on-ground field operations, data management, and supply chain coordination for large-scale agroforestry carbon projects. The learning curve is steep — you will be expected to get up to speed quickly on how carbon project operations work, develop strong systems thinking, and take end-to-end ownership of critical functions with minimal hand-holding.

If you are someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building structure where there is none, and wants early career exposure to a fast-growing climate space — this role is for you.

What You Will Do

Data & Operations Tracking

• Own and maintain the master data systems tracking operational metrics across all project stages — from nursery to field deployment

• Build and update dashboards, trackers, and reports that give the leadership team real-time visibility into project progress

• Ensure data integrity, flag anomalies, and maintain clean, audit-ready records at all times

Nursery & Procurement Partner Management

• Serve as the primary point of contact for nursery procurement partners

• Track procurement schedules, plant availability, and quality compliance

• Coordinate with partners to ensure timely supply aligned with field operation timelines

• Maintain vendor records and help evaluate partner performance over time

Activity Assessments & Monitoring

• Conduct desk-based assessments of ongoing field activities using data inputs, reports, and coordination with field teams

• Support the Operations Strategy Manager in identifying bottlenecks, delays, or deviations from plan

• Prepare structured summary reports on activity status for internal reviews

Scheduling & Schedule Tracking

• Create and maintain detailed operational schedules for on-ground activities across project sites

• Track adherence to schedules, flag delays proactively, and help coordinate corrective actions

• Maintain a clear log of milestones, pending actions, and dependencies

Who You Are

• 0–1 year of experience — freshers with strong fundamentals are encouraged to apply

• Background in Agriculture, Forestry, Environmental Sciences, Operations/Supply Chain, or Data Analytics or a mix of these- not required, but is a plus. 

• Comfortable working with spreadsheets, data tools, and tracking systems (Excel/Google Sheets proficiency is a must; exposure to any project management or data tools is a plus)

• Strong attention to detail — you take pride in keeping things accurate and organized

• Proactive communicator — you don't wait to be told; you ask, flag, and follow up

• Ability to work in a fast-paced, evolving environment where processes are still being built

• Genuine interest in climate, sustainability, or land-based carbon solutions is strongly preferred
