Develop and manage supplier networks in China and other key sourcing hubs for cost-efficient, quality-driven procurement. Coordinate with international suppliers on MOQs, lead times, compliance, and shipping schedules.

Negotiate contracts, payment terms, SLAs, and pricing to drive better margins and operational efficiency. Introduce private label SKUs and exclusive collaborations to enhance brand differentiation. Regularly audit supplier performance across quality, delivery timelines, and compliance metrics. Monitor key metrics : revenue, margins, inventory turns, sell-through, and returns. Leverage data to refine buying strategies, reduce dead stock, and increase category velocity. Generate actionable dashboards and MIS reports for leadership reviews and planning. Use consumer behavior insights to guide assortment planning and promotional campaigns. Lead and mentor a small team of category buyers and merchandisers. Foster strong collaboration with marketing, design, tech, logistics, and customer experience teams. Champion digital tools and platforms to automate workflows and improve buying efficiency. Drive process excellence, SOP standardization, and vendor onboarding digitization. 10–15 years of experience in buying, merchandising, or category management—preferably in e-commerce, lifestyle retail, or gifting. Proven track record of managing a high-growth category (₹100 Cr+ revenue). Strong sourcing and negotiation experience with China and international markets / vendors. Deep understanding of e-commerce merchandising, product curation, and consumer trends. Hands-on experience with dropshipping, private label development, or multi-vendor ecosystems. Commercially driven with a strong eye for detail and product sensibility. Excellent negotiation and vendor management skills. High proficiency in Excel, reporting tools, and ERP systems. Strong communication and team leadership abilities. Trend awareness in lifestyle, home, fashion accessories, and gifting. Bachelor’s degree in Business, Commerce, or related field is required. MBA / PGDM in Marketing, Retail, or Supply Chain preferred. Year-on-Year growth in revenue and contribution margins for Gifts & Accessories. Successful onboarding of China-based and global suppliers. Faster go-to-market timelines and reduced procurement lead times. Launch of private label ranges and exclusive collections. Higher assortment freshness and customer engagement rates.
