ABOUT US:

INITIA Group is a Singapore-based company that develops and operates its own brands across F&B, beauty, wellness and lifestyle.

Since launching our first F&B brand in 2013, we've steadily expanded our business and now operate more than 20 brands across Singapore and Malaysia.

Working in procurement at INITIA Group means being part of the full supply journey — finding the right suppliers, negotiating the right terms, and making sure ingredients, products and equipment travel from Korea to our outlets in Singapore and Malaysia on time.

Because procurement supports every business in the Group — F&B, salons, wellness and lifestyle — you'll work closely with Operations, Finance, Marketing and outlet teams and see first‑hand how a reliable supply chain keeps the business running. Building a new outlet together, from the first purchase order to opening day, is one of the defining experiences of this role.

As our business continues to expand, we are looking for a Procurement Executive to manage purchasing and supply chain operations connecting Korea, Singapore and Malaysia.
