Category Lead

Role Overview

As Category Lead, you’ll be responsible for driving end-to-end operational excellence — from vendor management and production planning, logistics, and cost optimization. You’ll bridge design, sourcing, manufacturing, and fulfilment — ensuring we deliver the right product, at the right time, at the right cost.

You’ll operate in a fast-growing environment where speed, systems thinking, and ownership matter more than hierarchy.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan & Execute Supply Chain Operations : Build and manage production timelines across multiple factories (furniture, rugs, textiles) ensuring on-time delivery for export and D2C channels.
• Vendor & Factory Management : Partner closely with manufacturing units to drive efficiency, capacity planning, and quality outcomes.
• Demand & Supply Planning : Work with category, design and merchandising teams to translate forecasts into production and procurement plans.
• Cost Optimization : Track landed cost per SKU, negotiate logistics and packaging costs, and constantly identify opportunities to improve margins.
• Technology & Systems : Implement data-driven visibility tools to improve tracking, traceability, and reporting.
• Logistics & Warehousing : Manage inbound shipments, consolidation, and export coordination from India to the Europe.
• Cross-functional Coordination : Work with design, sourcing, operations, and warehouse teams to ensure seamless order-to-delivery flow.
