Assiduus - Manager - Brand Acquisition

Title : Brand Acquisition Manager / Category Manager - FMCG (Beauty & Wellness)

Location : Bangalore

Mode : Work from office

We are looking for a dynamic professional with strong experience in acquiring and managing FMCG brands, particularly in the personal care, beauty, health, and wellness sectors.

The ideal candidate will have a solid understanding of the e-commerce ecosystem, including marketplaces, quick commerce platforms, and D2C websites, and how each operates across the value chain.

The role demands a deep network of brand relationships, strong business development acumen, and prior experience in multi-brand management from a retailer or platform perspective-not a SaaS onboarding background.

Roles & Responsibilities :

• Brand Acquisition & Onboarding : Identify and onboard high-potential brands in the personal care, beauty, and health & wellness space across marketplaces, quick commerce, and D2C channels.
• Relationship Management : Build and maintain strong working relationships with brand partners to drive long-term engagement, strategic alignment, and mutual growth.
• Category Development : Curate and expand the brand portfolio with a focus on category depth, consumer trends, and assortment gaps in collaboration with internal teams.
• Business Development : Lead negotiations, commercials, and partnership structures that align with growth and margin targets.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration : Work closely with marketing, supply chain, operations, and tech teams to ensure smooth brand onboarding, cataloguing, and go-live processes.
• E-commerce Strategy Execution : Deeply understand various e-commerce models (marketplace, quick commerce, website / D2C), and contribute to strategic decisions to drive performance across these channels.
• Market Intelligence : Stay updated with emerging trends, competitor activity, and consumer behaviour in the beauty & wellness space to identify new opportunities.
