Work towards positioning the brand as a leader in clean, conscious, and responsible packaging within the premium beauty segment. Coordinate with supply chain and operations teams to align procurement schedules with production timelines. Manage end-to-end packaging lifecycle - from sampling, approval, mass production to delivery and warehouse coordination. Monitor vendor KPIs (quality scores, delivery adherence, and rejection rates) and maintain detailed performance records. Troubleshoot packaging issues proactively to ensure zero production delays and smooth brand launches. Stay updated with global beauty packaging trends, new material innovations, and consumer preferences. Benchmark against top-tier beauty brands to ensure brand’s packaging stands at par with global luxury aesthetics. Participate in industry expos, trade fairs, and supplier meets to discover new materials, technologies, and design inspirations. Continuously optimize packaging processes for cost efficiency, quality enhancement, and sustainability impact. 4+ years of experience in packaging sourcing, vendor management, or supply chain (preferably in cosmetics, personal care, or FMCG). Strong vendor network across India, China, and Southeast Asia is a plus. Understanding of printing, labeling, molding, and finishing techniques (foil stamping, UV coating, embossing). Excellent negotiation, costing, and analytical skills. Strong collaboration mindset to work with design, marketing, and production teams.
