About Locus

Battle-tested in 350+ deployments across 30+ countries, Locus is an agentic Transportation Management System for all-mile, all-channel, trusted by enterprises like Unilever, Nestlé, and Siam Makro.

The platform unifies orders, capacity, and carrier networks into one living plan, aligning planning, execution, and settlement so promises become proof. AI co-pilots with guardrails surface risk early and recommend the next best move to protect SLAs and reduce empty miles.

In 2025, Locus joined the Ingka Group (IKEA Retail) family, marking a major milestone in our journey. Backed by the scale and strength of IKEA, we continue to operate independently while accelerating our mission to make global supply chains faster, smarter, and more sustainable.

Our Journey and Impact

Since 2015, Locus has been on a mission to make logistics decision-making intelligent, sustainable, and real-world ready. Our platform has powered billions of deliveries across 30 + countries for global enterprises, driving measurable impact in cost savings, carbon reduction, and SLA performance. With the strength of the IKEA ecosystem behind us, we’re scaling that impact even further.

Our Global Footprint

Headquartered in Bangalore, with teams across the U.S., U.K., UAE, and Southeast Asia, Locus brings together 170 + engineers, designers, and problem-solvers united by a single goal : to reinvent how the world moves goods.

Traits We Value

We look for people who are :

  • Global in mindset : curious about diverse markets and ideas.
  • Unrelenting in drive : energized by complex challenges.
  • Intelligent in approach : analytical, creative, and thoughtful.
  • Dynamic in execution : adaptive and decisive in fast-moving contexts.
  • Exact in craft : detail-oriented and committed to excellence.

You will manage and mentor a team of product leaders, collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, design, architecture, and GTM teams, and ensure that our platform continues to scale for global enterprise customers.

This is a senior leadership role that requires deep product expertise, strong technical acumen, and proven experience in enterprise SaaS and logistics technology.
