Role Summary

We are looking for a Central R&M Manager to own and drive reliability, efficiency, and product/process excellence in our Repairs & Maintenance function across all cities. This is a high-impact role focused on maximizing bike longevity, reducing faults, and driving repair effectiveness through data-driven interventions, cross-functional collaboration, and continuous improvement of tools and processes.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive Bike Longevity:

Conduct in-depth Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on critical and recurring

failures.

Implement Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) to extend bike life

and improve component reliability.

• Parts Reliability and Lifecycle Control

  :

Predict and proactively manage parts failure trends through historical data and on-ground inputs.

Optimize the Parts Lifecycle Control (PLC) to minimize wastage and improve cost efficiency. Collaborate with sourcing and design teams to introduce more durable parts based on failure insights.

• Reduce Fault Rates and Improve Repair Efficiency:

Analyze fault trends and work with city teams to reduce repair frequency

per bike.

Identify bottlenecks and improve repair SOPs and workflows to reduce

fault-to-fix time.

• Product and Process Improvements:

Lead changes and enhancements in the Yuzen Repair Module (Yulu's ops

app) to make diagnosis and repair tracking faster and more reliable.

Collaborate with city R&M managers to improve workshop/shopfloor

efficiency.

Drive standardized best practices, audits, and continuous improvement

programs across locations.

• Analytics and Reporting:

Build and maintain dashboards for fault rate trends, part failure rates, TAT, and

repair efficiency.

Track KPIs and align improvement initiatives to measurable outcomes.

Key Metrics of Success

• Improvement in mean time between failures (MTBF) and bike life per km.
• Reduction in fault recurrence and repair frequency per bike.
• Improved repair TAT and first-time-fix rates (FTFR).
• Increased spare part utilization efficiency and reduced returns/rejections.
• Effective and timely enhancements in repair product flows (app).
• Implementation and success rate of CAPA initiatives city-wide.

Key Requirements

• 4+ years in R&M, product ops, or reliability engineering roles. EV experience

is highly desirable.

• Proven track record in data-driven RCA, maintenance engineering, or quality

improvement roles.

• Ability to understand mechanical/electrical subsystems in vehicles and drive

reliability programs.

• Experience in working with tech/product teams to build ops-focused tools or

process automation.

• Strong analytical mindset with proficiency in tools like Excel, SQL, or
