About EVM

EVM is a fast-growing Indian brand in IT Storage, IT Peripherals, and Mobile Accessories, known for building trust through strong product support and service accountability. Our after-sales experience is a major part of our brand promise, and we are looking for a strong operator who can own this function on the ground.

About the Role

We are hiring a Service Incharge who can take full ownership of an EVM service center while also driving performance across multiple ASPs (Authorized Service Partners).

This is not a passive desk role. We need someone who can control service operations, reduce pending cases, improve TAT, handle escalations, enforce warranty discipline, manage spare flow, and keep ASPs fully aligned with EVM standards.

The ideal candidate is hands-on, operationally sharp, process-driven, and tough on follow-up. He should be able to manage both internal service execution and external partner governance without losing control on service quality, reporting discipline, or customer experience.

• Check invoice, serial number, product condition, warranty eligibility, and case remarks before closure or approval
• Prevent unauthorized replacements, wrong commitments, and policy leakage

Spares, Replacement & Inventory Discipline

• Monitor spare requirement for service center and ASP network
• Coordinate with warehouse / operations for replenishment and stock movement
• Ensure proper tracking of spare inward, outward, consumption, replacement units, and defective stock
• Control misuse, mismatch, leakage, or undocumented part movement

Reporting & Service MIS

• Publish strong MIS around open jobs, ageing, TAT, closure rate, repeat complaints, spare usage, and ASP performance
• Share insights on recurring product issues, common field failures, and service bottlenecks
• Keep management updated with action-oriented reporting, not just raw data

Training, Audit & Governance

• Train service center staff and ASP teams on products, SOPs, customer handling, and warranty norms
• Conduct periodic audits of service process, documentation, stock discipline, and partner compliance
• Ensure all records are clean, traceable, and audit-ready

• 4 to 8 years of relevant experience in after-sales service, service center management, or partner service network management
