Job Title:

Purchasing Director

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Purchasing Director to oversee our end-to-end vendor and supply chain process for fast-growing health supplements, cosmetics, food & nutraceuticals products.

The ideal candidate will have 4–10 years of experience in purchasing/procurement/vendor management in FMCG, cosmetics, nutrition, personal care, or consumer goods industries.

The key responsibilities include:

  • Vendor Identification & Development: Research, identify, and onboard reliable vendors, raw material suppliers, packaging vendors, and contract manufacturers (domestic and international).
  • Contract Manufacturing & Private Label Management: Work with third-party manufacturers and private label partners to develop new products, ensuring compliance with formulations, packaging, quality standards, and regulatory norms.
  • Procurement & Negotiation: Lead end-to-end procurement, including RFPs, RFQs, and tender processes. Negotiate pricing, credit terms, lead times, and minimum order quantities (MOQs) to drive cost optimization while maintaining consistent supply and vendor loyalty.
  • Regulatory & Quality Compliance: Ensure all vendors meet regulatory certifications and quality standards (FSSAI, GMP, ISO, FDA, Ayush, etc.). Liaise with internal QA/RA teams to manage documentation, product testing, and statutory compliance before marketplace listings.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with New Product Development (NPD), R&D, Quality, Operations, and Marketing teams to bring new SKUs from concept to commercialization.
  • Supply Chain & Inventory Alignment: Work with logistics and supply chain teams to ensure timely inbound delivery, warehousing, and outbound movement of raw materials, packaging, and finished goods.
  • Vendor Relationship & Performance Management: Maintain strong, long-term relationships with strategic vendors. Monitor vendor performance using KPIs (on-time delivery, cost competitiveness, quality, and compliance).
  • Cost Optimization & Benchmarking: Continuously benchmark raw material and packaging costs across vendors. Identify alternate suppliers and innovative sourcing channels to reduce procurement costs without compromising quality or speed.
  • Risk Management & Contingency Planning: Develop backup vendor options and alternate sourcing strategies to reduce dependency and mitigate risks of supply disruptions, price fluctuations, or regulatory changes.
  • Market Intelligence & Innovation: Stay updated with market trends, raw material innovations, packaging trends, and supplier ecosystems. Share insights with NPD/Marketing to develop differentiated, consumer-first products.
Requirements

To succeed as a Purchasing Director, you must have:

  • 4–10 years of experience in purchasing/procurement/vendor management in FMCG, cosmetics, nutrition, personal care, or consumer goods industries.
  • A proven track record in negotiating with third-party manufacturers, private label suppliers, and raw material vendors.
  • Strong knowledge of procurement processes, supply chain operations, and vendor compliance.
  • Exposure to certifications/regulatory requirements (FSSAI, GMP, ISO, FDA, etc.) is a plus.
  • Strong commercial acumen, analytical mindset, and relationship management skills.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with NPD, quality, operations, and e-commerce teams.
