Job Overview
We are looking for two detail-oriented Operations Associates to support BukuWarung's warehouse migration period on a 3-month contract (target start: late May; through August). The role focuses on backend order processing — translating order data, executing fulfillment uploads to vendor systems, capturing serial numbers and airwaybills, and logging inbound activity. During the migration period, two warehouse systems will run side-by-side, requiring careful manual reconciliation to keep merchant operations stable while the new ops automation tools are still being built.
Two associates will be hired:
One to cover BukuPay product flow (QRIS / payment-side order processing)
One to cover EDC product flow (Saku & Android device order processing — inbound, outbound, returns, replacements)
Both work the same SOP and report into the Logistics Ops team.
Responsibilities
1. Order Processing & Fulfillment
Translate order data from the internal order management system into the warehouse vendor's CSV upload format (~20 min per batch), applying the BukuWarung-to-vendor field mapping exactly
Upload assignments to the warehouse vendor's dashboard and confirm orders land in the Pending queue
Validate field completeness and flag malformed rows before upload
Apply the correct packing configuration by order type (in-app, partnership, MS-OTS, marketing) — Saku vs Android
Monitor that the daily 11:00 AM internal order management system automation runs successfully; escalate to AI team if the system is not updated by 11:30 AM
2. Inbound Tracking & Logging
Receive and confirm new EDC stock notifications from BD via email (with attached purchase docs); reply with the Pulogadung delivery address
Store inbound details in the [Working Sheet] EDC Ops Outbound - Inbound Process — including serial numbers, device type, quantity, and warranty data
Quality-check returned and replacement EDCs and log inbound including the box / storage location
Acknowledge failed-delivery notifications from the warehouse vendor via the BukuWarung × warehouse vendor WhatsApp group and update the inbound log
Maintain end-to-end audit trail across all inbound categories (supplier, return, replacement, failed delivery)
3. Serial Number & Airwaybill Capture (D+1)
Download SN and airwaybill files from the warehouse vendor's daily email and save raw files to the consistent location (sn-airwaybill-raw.xlsx)
Verify the internal order management system has been updated post-11:00 AM automation run
Escalate to AI team for manual pipeline trigger when automation fails; alert Ops if the warehouse vendor email is missing by 10:00 AM
Log confirmation of SN capture in ops-tracking-log
4. Cross-Functional Coordination
Coordinate with Partnership, BD, Merchant Success, Marketing, and Product teams on order requests and inbound expectations
Manage WhatsApp threads with the warehouse vendor and 3PL partners; close out aging issues through to resolution
Reply promptly to internal stakeholders confirming inbound and outbound status
Escalate vendor performance drops early — especially during migration cutover windows
5. Migration Support (Migration-Specific)
Bridge dual warehouse systems running in parallel through the migration period
Daily reconciliation between old and new warehouse data — surface mismatches before they affect outbound
Flag stock-binding mismatches (Order ID QR code SIM number Serial Number) before they impact merchant transactions
Support the 29 May stock-take with daily-worker coordination on the ground
Document new errors and process gaps surfacing from the new warehouse so SOPs can be updated
Requirements
2–4 years experience in operations, warehouse, e-commerce, fintech, payment ops, or admin / billing-ops roles
Strong attention to detail — track record of zero or minimal mistakes on bulk data entry / order processing
Comfortable with spreadsheets at an advanced level (VLOOKUP, pivots, conditional formatting), bulk uploads, and structured CSV processing
Good written communication in Indonesian; comfortable with email and WhatsApp coordination with vendors and internal stakeholders
Reliable follow-up discipline — closes out threads, doesn't drop the ball mid-conversation
Able to start immediately and commit through the contract period (late May through August)
Nice to Have
Experience in warehouse operations, payment operations, e-commerce fulfillment, or merchant support
Familiarity with WMS / ERP / OMS tools (e.g., warehouse vendor portals such as ShipperERP / Ginee / Desty, or internal order management systems — or similar)
Prior experience supporting a system migration, warehouse move, or vendor cutover
Basic English written communication for cross-functional and vendor coordination
Background similar to multi-entity billing operations or admin (e.g., Paper.id-style workflows — Jean Innestia tier persona)
Working Style
Execution-focused, hands-on, comfortable with admin-heavy and repetitive work
Calm under operational pressure; doesn't escalate prematurely but does escalate when judgment says so
High ownership — owns the order log, owns the WhatsApp follow-up, owns the reconciliation
Comfortable with ambiguity in a migration context (SOPs may shift week by week)
Contract Terms
6-month fixed-term contract with potential extension based on migration timeline and performance
On-site in Jakarta
Reports to: Logistics Ops Lead (with dotted line to Ops Performance / Head of Operations during migration)
