About the Role
We are a leading global financial institution seeking a detail-oriented and operationally disciplined professional to join our IT Warehouse Operations team in Bengaluru.

- Provide operational support for IT hardware fulfilment and warehouse-related service requests
- Act as a coordination point for internal stakeholders on inventory status, order fulfilment, and exceptions
- Adhere to defined turnaround times and service level agreements consistently
