Job description

We are seeking a Head Supply Chain for a Series A funded Wellness Brand.

Job Profile:

Own the entire journey of our products - from raw herbs, through our manufacturing partners, to the shelf in every clinic.

The brand procures and owns the raw materials (around 120 herbs) and works with a network of RM vendors and manufacturers to turn them into finished goods.

This results in longer lead times, more quality checks, and more moving parts to coordinate.

Your job is to bring order, speed and control- so that clinics never run out of stock, product quality stays consistent, and costs stay under control.

Manufacturer & vendor coordination - Build strong, well-governed relationships with our manufacturers and raw-material vendors. Lock production plans and material timelines ahead of demand, and make sure no single manufacturer carries too much of our load.

Faster delivery - Optimise raw-material-to-finished-goods cycle, so clinics are always stocked.

Quality control - Make sure every batch of raw material and finished goods meets specification, reduce quality deviations at source, and hold manufacturers accountable through proper checks and corrective actions.

Stock & availability - Keep every clinic supplied. Own inventory planning, availability, accuracy, and days of stock across warehouse and clinics.

Cost, COGS & working capital - Own how we calculate cost of goods, keep our stock and books reconciled, reduce raw-material wastage, and improve payment terms and cash flow with our vendors.

Compliance - Work with our manufacturers to keep all product licences and certifications (AYUSH, GMP, drug licences and renewals) current and in order.

Systems & knowledge - Own our supply-chain data, dashboards and reporting. Build a proper playbook so the function runs on process, not on individuals.

Team leadership - Lead, grow and get the best out of the supply-chain team.

Head Supply Chain Requirements:

9+ years of experience in supply chain, with time spent leading a function or a significant part of one.

Background in Ayurveda, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, FMCG or a similar regulated, product-based business.

Real experience working with external manufacturers and raw-material vendors - coordinating production, managing quality, and keeping things on time.

Strong grip on the numbers: inventory, COGS, working capital, and the ability to work hand-in-hand with Finance.

Understanding of quality control and compliance in a manufacturing setup.

A builder's mindset - someone who fixes root causes, documents how things work, and doesn't rely on firefighting.

Calm, clear and dependable under pressure, and able to bring the best out of a team.

Good to Have

Direct experience in Ayurveda or herbal manufacturing and raw-material sourcing.

Familiarity with ERP systems (ERPNext) and building dashboards and MIS.

Experience setting up quality and vendor-governance processes from the ground up.
