Operations Manager, Bike Financing at Zeno

You will own operational performance across the bike financing portfolio and implement systems, controls, and processes that drive portfolio quality, reduce losses, improve customer experience, and support scalable growth. This role requires strong field execution capability, financial acumen, and data-driven project management capabilities in a fast-growing mobility and fintech environment.

What You'll Do:


Operations Ownership: Own the full lifecycle of bike financing operations — including customer onboarding, documentation verification, disbursement coordination, asset handover, repayment tracking, collections support, and repossession processes.
Portfolio Performance Management: Monitor and manage portfolio health metrics including repayment rates, PAR (Portfolio at Risk), default rates, recovery rates, and asset utilization. Implement operational interventions to improve portfolio performance and reduce delinquencies.
Field Operations Management: Lead and coordinate field officers, sales agents, and recovery teams across regions. Ensure proper asset verification, GPS installation, compliance checks, and structured follow-up on repayments.
Collections & Recovery Oversight: Establish structured delinquency management processes and early-warning systems. Oversee repossession and recovery protocols to minimize losses while maintaining compliance and customer fairness.
Process Design & Optimization: Develop and refine scalable SOPs across all operational touchpoints. Drive continuous process improvements to reduce turnaround time (TAT), increase operational efficiency, and enhance customer experience.
Systems & Reporting: Leverage Loan Management Systems (LMS), GPS tracking tools, and CRM platforms to drive visibility across the financing portfolio. Develop dashboards and reporting frameworks that enable data-driven decision-making.
Risk & Compliance Control: Ensure adherence to internal credit policies, financing regulations, and contractual requirements. Mitigate fraud risks through strong verification, monitoring, and audit processes.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely across various operational stakeholders to ensure overall execution goals met.
