Reliance Jio is recruiting more than 1,900 executives for its sales and distribution team. Reliance Jio Infocomm, the telecom arm of billionaire Mukesh Ambani-led conglomerate Reliance Industries, said on its website – jio.com – that the positions “will be responsible for demand creation, sales costing and budgeting, sales research and planning, establishing sales territories, and co-ordination of sales”. Jio, in order to support its expansion plans, is apparently looking to strengthen its team. The positions were available at various locations across the country, spanning states like Delhi, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Kolkata, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh, as per their website.

Jio was seeking the education requirement of “10+2/ITI/Diploma/Certification in Device Care” with an experience between zero to four years, for the position of Senior Digital Repair Specialist. Skills that were listed for this position included good communication skills, problem solving, customer focus and spares operations knowledge.

Jio is looking at candidates responsible for “Planning and achieving Brand-wise and town wise growth”, for the Mobility Sales Lead positions, with an experience of 5-7 years, stressing upon range selling and distribution expansion, among other responsibilities. Jio said preference would be given to those holding MBA, although they are seeking graduates.
The company’s website showed that they are also recruiting over 120 individuals for its customer service team. Positions listed under customer service and sales on the website included assistant managers, digital repair specialists, relationship managers, digital sales specialists and home connect techies.

Candidates for Jio’s Customer Service team will be required to take up customer interaction, resolve customer queries and ensure “100 per cent SIM Provisioning to achieve error free handset activation”, among other responsibilities. “As a part of the Customer Service team, you will interact with our customers, understand their problems, identify the gaps and take action to deliver a world class digital experience,” Jio said.

Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani last month announced the launch of a 4G-enabled feature phone, called JioPhone. Jio aims to garner, using features phones, the 50 crore customer base.

The company’s aggressive data tariffs increased the competition in the telecom sector, as many competitors are revising their tariff plans and announcing various offers to protect the market share.
