Role Overview :

We’re looking for an entrepreneurial Operations Sourcing Specialist to lead the discovery, evaluation, and onboarding of regional and global manufacturing and gifting partners.

Key Responsibilities :

• Identify and onboard r egional manufacturers, print houses, and product suppliers across India, the Middle East, and Asia.
• Evaluate partners on pricing, product quality, turnaround time, and scalability.
• Negotiate commercial contracts, pricing structures, lead times, and SLAs that support scalable eCommerce fulfilment.
• Use AI-driven tools (e.g., AI supplier match, demand forecasting, contract management) to optimise partner selection and performance.
• Create partner sourcing frameworks and maintain a partner performance database.
• Collaborate with marketing and product teams to match product innovation needs with sourcing capabilities.
• Monitor production metrics, order flow, QC, and escalations with regional partners.

Qualifications :

• 4+ years in sourcing, procurement, or manufacturing partnerships in B2C eCommerce or gifting.
• Strong negotiation and vendor contract management skills.
• Experience sourcing in emerging markets (India, GCC, Southeast Asia preferred).
• Familiarity with AI / ML tools for supplier discovery, sourcing automation, or quality analytics.
• Self-starter attitude and ability to operate independently across time zones.

Why Join Us?

• Commission-based earnings directly linked to your sourcing success in addition to your base salary.
• Work on cutting-edge operational strategies using AI and automation.
• Shape our supply chain from the ground up in high-growth regions.
• Be part of a purpose-driven brand that delivers smiles globally.
