Job description

Ecoright is a design-led sustainable lifestyle brand, built in India for a global market. We make sustainability desirable — quirky, fashion-forward, and never preachy.

The Role

We're looking for a sourcing manager who knows the ground — factories, vendors, trims, and timelines. Someone who has sat across a supplier, negotiated hard, and still got the sample out on time.

• Source and manage sampling for new product launches
• Maintain tech packs, material libraries, and approved vendor lists

Quality & Compliance

• Ensure materials and products meet brand quality standards
• Coordinate pre-production and inline checks with QC teams
• Flag and resolve quality issues before they hit production

• Detail-oriented with solid follow-through on timelines and deliverables

What You Get

• Ownership of the full sourcing function — not just execution support
• Work across multiple product categories as the brand grows
• A role that shapes the product, not just sources it
