About the Role

You'll source, evaluate, and buy the fabrics behind Aramya's collections — working closely with design to translate creative direction into the right fabric, and with production to land on quality, cost, and timelines.

This is as much a technical role as a sourcing one: strong textile engineering fundamentals, an eye for quality, and the commercial acumen to negotiate well and cost accurately — with design sensibility layered on top.

Key responsibilities

1. Sourcing & Vendor Management

• Identify and finalise fabric, greige, and yarn suppliers, with a view toward long-term, formalised arrangements at the best possible prices
• Build and leverage a strong sourcing network; contacts in Southern India are a strong advantage
• Evaluate in-house production versus external sourcing models as the business scales

2. Technical & Textile Engineering

• Bring a working technical understanding of textile engineering — weaves, construction, fabric behavior — beyond sourcing execution alone
• Support R&D benchmarking, evaluating fabric quality, cost, and performance against market and competitor standards
• Deepen weaving and manufacturing process expertise on the job, building toward hardcore textile engineering capability over time

3. Costing & Design Liaison

• Own costing accuracy as an independent check against brand-level KPI targets
• Act as the liaison between design and sourcing, ensuring fabric choices are feasible and cost-aligned
• Operate with a degree of independence in validating cost assumptions across supplier options

Key skills & qualifications

• 2-4 years of experience in fabric sourcing, buying, or textile merchandising
• Strong technical grounding in textile engineering, not just sourcing execution
• Contacts with India mills/vendors a strong advantage
• A blend of design sensibility and technical fabric expertise, suited to the India market
• Comfortable operating at the intersection of sourcing, costing, and design
• Ownership mindset; able to function semi-independently on cost validation
