Our Product Range Developer shapes what Slomilled makes. This is not a typical retail buying role. It calls for deep respect for biodiversity, nutrition science and market insight, and for making sure every product we develop, from heirloom wheats to ancient millets, is the best version of that ingredient.
The mission
Our stores aren’t just selling flour; they are offering an answer to modern nutritional gaps. Your mission is to design a high-performing range that turns traditional slow-food wisdom into a modern retail format. You will decide what stays on our shelves, which new Slomilled products we launch, and how the range solves real needs for our customers, from the perfect roti to specific dietary preferences.
What you’ll do
Portfolio strategy and development
- The core range: develop and manage the primary product list: heirloom wheats, ancient millets and pulses.
- New blends: lead the creation of new flour blends with nutritionists and our food technologist. Any functional or health claim must be evidenced before it reaches a label.
- Occasion-based ranges: develop seasonal and festive ranges, such as vrat flours and winter specials like bajra and makki, to keep the store relevant all year.
Range performance and analytics
- Product lifecycle: keep evaluating SKU performance. If a product isn’t moving, or doesn’t meet our standard, retire or reformulate it.
- Customer insight: spend time on the store floor, listen to what customers ask for, and turn those needs into new products.
- Space productivity: plan how products are laid out in store so the range tells a clear story about health and transparency.
Benchmarking and quality
- The standard: define taste, texture and nutrition benchmarks for every product.
- Competitor mapping: keep track of the health-food and specialty retail landscape.
- Packaging: work with design so each pack communicates its product clearly and honestly.
Who you are
- A food lover with a business brain: you care about Indian ingredients and also about retail velocity and margins.
- Customer-obsessed: you build products that do a real job for the modern Indian household.
- Creative yet disciplined: you can brainstorm twenty blend ideas and have the rigour to pick the two that will scale.
- Agile: you enjoy the incubator phase, prototyping a blend on Monday and seeing it on the shelf by Friday.
Why TrueSubstance
- Identity: you help decide what our brands taste and feel like.
- Ownership: you aren’t just managing a category; you are building a brand from the grain up.
- Growth: as we expand, you will lead the evolution of the range across new locations and formats.
