Supply Chain, Operations and Planning (Skincare Brand / E-Com / Q Com)

About the role :

30% Planning (data-driven, weekly S&OP)

Run a weekly 12-week S&OP (D2C + marketplaces) : convert demand to a supply plan with frozen / slushy / liquid horizons.

Set safety stock / ROP per SKU & node using variable lead times (primary / secondary packs, common RM, occasional regulated RM imports).

Track OTIF, OOS; publish crisp, action-oriented dashboards.

50% Backend supply (procurement & production with 3P manufacturers)

Primary packaging (30–70d, high variance) : rolling POs, dual-sourcing, MOQ ladders; protect against variability with time buffers.

Secondary packaging (~20d) : cost-efficient buys while limiting obsolescence (design / version control).

Raw materials : place / expedite common RM (~30d) with CMOs; for regulated imports (120d+ with variance), coordinate vendors / distributors and timelines so material is available when needed.

Convert the plan into factory schedules once secondary packaging docks; ensure adherence to SOPs and clean change control on artwork / regulatory.

20% Logistics & deployment (multi-node, multi-channel)

Replenish fast expanding network of D2C FCs to Days-of-Inventory targets; keep aged inventory low.

Own Amazon FBA and new marketplaces replenishment (catalog readiness, ASN / inbound windows, compliant labels).

Prepare for quick commerce : narrow, high-velocity SKU sets, node-level inventory sync and frequent top-ups for dark stores, fast SLAs, and pack / price suited to rapid-delivery missions

Good to have :

4–6 years in FMCG / D2C / e-commerce supply chain; preferably in beauty / personal care

Hands-on S&OP / MRP : translating spiky demand into clear POs and line schedules.

Packaging & RM procurement experience (lead-time / cost SLAs, dual-source playbooks).

Marketplace ops : Amazon FBA replenishment fundamentals and inbound compliance.

Tooling : strong Excel / Sheets; working knowledge of Unicommerce (OMS / WMS) and Shiprocket (courier allocation, labels).

Crisp written updates, supplier rapport, and “one source of truth” discipline.

Beauty / cosmetics or personal-care exposure; familiarity with Indian cosmetics labeling basics.

Comfort partnering with data-driven planning models
