Why should 20 trucks deliver to the same store in a single day? Why do people travel on bikes, burning fuel needlessly, to collect orders on scraps of paper? Why do store owners wait restlessly for someone to visit once a week to collect an order?\nTajir is a radical break from the past. We offer an app where stores can buy everything they need, delivered reliably the next day. We drastically reduce the number of vehicles on the road with efficient, centralized delivery, so both store owners and manufacturers enjoy higher profits. With $150B in purchases made by retailers annually, even modest efficiency gains have an outsized economic impact.\nWe are backed by Kleiner Perkins (early investors in Google, Amazon) and Y Combinator (early investors in Coinbase, Airbnb, Dropbox). Learn more about us onForbes andGeo News.\nAbout the role\nBizOps is short for Business Operations. We take on problems that haven’t been solved yet, usually because they cut across a few teams and don’t clearly belong to any one of them.\nThe way the team works is build-operate-transfer. You get a problem, work out what’s actually causing it, design a fix and run it yourself until it’s holding. Then, you hand it to the team that will own it from then on and move onto the next one.\nSome of the work is operations. Some is supply chain, finance or growth. A fair amount involves engineering, because the fix often needs something built.\nRight now, that might mean working out why a warehouse keeps dispatching late. Next quarter it could be why payments from certain outlets don’t settle cleanly. When either of that improves, thousands of stores feel the difference.\nWe use Claude and other AI tools across the team and you'll be expected to as well. It makes most of the work around a problem faster.\nWhat you will do\nOwn a problem from start to finish.\nFind it. Go through dispatch, order and delivery data. Then go and look. Sit with a warehouse supervisor at dispatch, ride a delivery route, spend a morning in a market. A lot of what's broken doesn't show up in a dashboard.\n\nBreak it down. Problems arrive vague. Part of the job is cutting one into pieces small enough to work on, then deciding which piece comes first. You'll have to explain that choice.\n\nDesign the fix. Sometimes it's a process change. Sometimes it needs building, in which case you write the spec and work with our engineers to get it made. Automate whatever shouldn't be manual.\n\nRun it, then hand it over. Watch the numbers until they move and stay moved. Write down what worked and what didn't. Then hand it to whoever owns it long term.\n\nWhatever you build, somebody specific has to use it. A loader at a distribution centre, someone in the head office, sometimes a founder. That person is who you're designing for.\nWho we're looking for\nA bachelor's degree in any discipline. You don't need prior experience, and we're open to any background or career stage. What matters:\nYou communicate clearly, in writing and in person.\n\nYou learn fast and can make progress without waiting to be told what to do, even when the problem is messy and nobody has written the playbook.\n\nYou question why things run the way they do, and reason up from the problem itself.\n\nYou finish things. A lot of this job is the unglamorous middle - running a fix yourself for weeks, chasing a number that won't move, fixing what breaks along the way.\n\nYou want to be around our customers, learning from them and helping decide what we build next.\n\nYou work well with anyone from a loader to a founder, and you take direct feedback and act on it.\n\nNice to have\nHands-on experience with data tools, especially Google Sheets, SQL or Metabase.\n\nYou've built or run something outside university or work. A business, a side project, a society, a team.\n\nThe one thing that helps your application most\nGo and sit with a kiryana store owner for twenty minutes. Ask what he buys, how he buys it, who he buys it from, and what irritates him about the whole business.\nThen tell us what you heard. Not a polished write-up. What actually surprised you, what he complained about, and what you'd do about it if it were your problem.\nIt's completely optional and plenty of people will skip it. But it's the closest thing to the actual job, and it tells us more than any answer you could write from your desk. We read every one of them.\nApplication stages\nApplication submission.\n\nHR interview.\n\nCase study round.\n\nFinal interview.\n\nApplication deadline\nNov 30, 2026.\nNote: This is a full-time, on-site role in Lahore. All in-person stages of the recruitment process, case study and interviews, will be held here in Lahore as well.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4846,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Marketplaces","B2B Commerce"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T23:41:46Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-20T19:53:09Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-11-12T19:01:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.255,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":66,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T23:00:11Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tajir-app-business-operations-associate","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tajir-app-business-operations-associate.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T23:00:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":48653,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":720757},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=720757"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftajir-app-business-operations-associate"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftajir-app-business-operations-associate"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftajir-app-business-operations-associate"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/tajir-app-business-operations-associate\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftajir-app-business-operations-associate"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":778059}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"tajir.app","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":778059},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
