Key Responsibilities

• Support the Procurement Manager in day-to-day procurement and sourcing activities.
• Assist in supplier identification, evaluation, and onboarding across South Asia and global markets.

  • Sending RFQs to suppliers and ensuring timely responses and follow‑ups
  • Compiling supplier quotations and preparing comparison sheets
  • Supporting detailed cost breakdown analysis and data validation
• Prepare and maintain landed cost structures, including product cost, freight, duties, tariffs, and other associated cost components.
• Conduct cost analysis and pricing evaluation to support procurement decision-making and margin planning.
• Support the development of pricing inputs and cost models for bid proposals (final pricing ownership remains with the Manager).
• Maintain procurement data within ERP systems and internal tools.
• Track purchase orders and ensure timely follow‑ups with suppliers.
• Ensure accuracy and completeness of product specifications, RFQ documentation, and procurement data.
• Generate reports and insights to support cost optimization and operational efficiency.

• Proven experience working in environments involving international trade and import cost structures, including:
  • Customs duties and tariffs
  • Freight and logistics cost components
  • Incoterms and related cost implications
• Strong ability to understand and incorporate landed cost components into cost analysis and pricing support (coordination with logistics providers is not a primary responsibility).

• Proven ability to prepare and analyze landed costs structures with accuracy and attention to detail.
• Strong analytical mindset with focus on data accuracy and structured evaluation.
