Role Overview

As a Performance Marketing Specialist , you’ll drive user growth, activation, and retention across digital channels. You’ll own paid media strategy and execution - from Meta and Google Ads to influencer collaborations - ensuring every rupee spent converts to measurable impact.

What You’ll Do

  • You’ll play a core role in ensuring RXpress dark stores never run out of what customers need - from prescription medicines to wellness SKUs. This isn’t just about purchasing;

it’s about building India’s smartest pharmacy supply chain from the ground up.

Own Procurement Across Dark Stores

  • Manage end-to-end sourcing and replenishment for Rx, OTC, and wellness categories across RXpress’s hyperlocal dark stores.
  • Develop and refine reorder triggers based on real-time sales velocity, expiry tracking, and store-level consumption patterns.
  • Maintain a live inventory availability of >

    Manage Multi-Channel Vendor Network

  • Build and manage supplier relationships across pharma distributors, wholesalers, and digital B2B platforms such as RetailIO, Pharmarack, MedleyMed, Tata 1mg Partner, etc.
  • Ensure each dark store has access to a multi-vendor supply chain, with redundancy for critical SKUs and high-fill rates.
  • Negotiate pricing, credit terms, and service SLAs to optimise gross margin while maintaining regulatory compliance.
  • Standardise vendor onboarding, GST documentation, and digital PO / invoice processes.
  • Leverage Tech for Procurement Automation

  • Integrate procurement processes with RXpress backend systems - enabling live stock visibility, auto purchase order generation, and digital GRN validation.
  • Collaborate with Tech and Product teams to connect B2B APIs (RetailIO, MedleyMed, etc) for real-time pricing and stock sync.
  • Use data dashboards to track fill rates, supplier performance, and lead times, helping reduce manual intervention and procurement delays.
  • Forecast Demand and Plan Inventory

  • Work with Operations and Data teams to predict SKU demand based on AI-driven consumption models, local health trends, and telemedicine data.
  • Anticipate seasonal fluctuations (e.G. cough, cold, flu seasons) and plan bulk purchases or forward stocking accordingly.
  • Translate insights into actionable buying plans - optimising working capital without compromising service speed.
  • Drive Cost Efficiency and Compliance

  • Benchmark pricing across multiple supply channels to identify savings opportunities and margin expansion levers.
  • Use AI-based SKU alternatives and generic substitution where clinically appropriate to reduce costs.
  • Maintain full compliance with pharmacy procurement laws, GST norms, and DLT documentation.
  • Ensure traceability for all purchases (batch number, expiry, manufacturer data) through RXpress’s digital compliance stack.
  • Support Scale & Expansion

  • Create procurement playbooks to support expansion from 1 → 100 dark stores.
  • Help set up centralized procurement hubs or regional aggregators to unlock volume discounts and better logistics coordination.
  • Identify and onboard vendors in new cities as RXpress scales its footprint across metros and Tier-II markets.
  • Metrics You’ll Own

  • SKU availability rate (Target : >

  • Procurement cost variance vs market benchmark

  • Strong in vendor management, cost negotiation, and purchase planning.
  • Analytical, data-driven, and comfortable using tools like Excel, BI dashboards, or procurement software.
  • Hustle mindset – someone who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous startup environments where speed, ownership, and adaptability are key.
  • Strong analytical data-first mindset - comfortable with managing procurement dashboards
  • Bonus : Experience with pharmacy delivery E-commerce / . Q-commerce.
  • What’s in it for you?

  • Be part of a founder-led early-stage startup with fast decision cycles.
  • Shape the growth engine of Pharmacy 2.0 from the ground up.
