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.

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.
