About the Role

L4+ incident refers to a sequence of unwanted incidents taking place which lead to agitation and threat to the brand. It leads to uncertainty and causes major harm to the organization.The team detects early signs of brand risk and minimizes the damage against the negative consequences of the same. It not only affects the smooth functioning of the organization but also poses a threat to the brand name.

The role requires someone who can own and take ownership of a complete incident and not just a contact. The team does not deal with issues such as cancellation and route, but more in terms of a rider being harassed or a partner being assaulted. And this position needs to communicate with them directly.
