  • Lead procurement of raw materials, packaging, and services, ensuring quality, cost efficiency, continuity of supply, and supplier compliance.
  • Build and manage a strong supplier base, including alternate sources, contracts, rate negotiations, and performance reviews.
  • Set inventory norms for raw materials, packaging, and finished goods, balancing availability, working capital, and shelf life.

  • Lead primary and secondary logistics, including transporter selection, freight negotiations, route planning, and delivery performance.
  • Ensure seamless fulfillment across distributors, modern trade, e-commerce, and quick-commerce channels, meeting each channel’s service norms.
  • Coordinate supply plans with third-party manufacturers, tracking material availability, production schedules, and dispatch adherence.
  • Drive supply chain cost reduction across procurement, freight, warehousing, inventory holding, and expiry or damage losses.
  • Ensure compliance with Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), legal metrology, GST/e-way bill, and other regulatory requirements across the supply chain.
  • Strengthen Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Warehouse Management System (WMS) usage, master data, and dashboards to provide real-time visibility of demand, inventory, and service levels.
  • Build and lead the supply chain team, defining roles, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and capability development; act as a key partner to leadership.

  • Forecast Accuracy: Improved forecast accuracy by channel and key SKU.
  • S&OP Effectiveness: Aligned monthly plans with agreed actions and follow-through.
  • Product Availability: Higher fill rate and fewer stock-outs across channels.
  • On-Time Delivery: Customer orders delivered in full and on time.
  • Inventory Health: Optimal stock levels with lower days of inventory.
  • Freshness & Expiry Control: Reduced near-expiry, expired, and damaged stock.
  • Supply Chain Cost: Lower procurement, freight, and warehousing cost per unit.
  • Supply Continuity: No production loss due to material shortages.
  • Supplier Performance: Suppliers meeting quality, delivery, and cost standards.
  • Warehouse Performance: High stock accuracy, FEFO adherence, and dispatch speed.
  • Partner Supply Adherence: Third-party manufacturers delivering to agreed plans.
  • Systems & Visibility: Accurate ERP data and real-time supply chain dashboards.

Experience

  • Minimum 10 years in supply chain management, including leadership of planning, procurement, warehousing, and logistics teams, with a strong understanding of the end-to-end value chain.
  • Experience in Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) or food manufacturing, preferably with short shelf-life products and multi-channel distribution.
  • Proven experience running S&OP and demand-planning processes that improved forecast accuracy and product availability.
  • Demonstrated ability to clearly define complex problems, break them into actionable workstreams, and deliver measurable outcomes.
  • Proven track record of reducing inventory, freight, procurement, or expiry costs, with results validated by finance.
  • Experience managing third-party logistics (3PL) warehouses and transport partners.
  • Ability to work hands-on in a startup environment, prioritize limited resources, and build systems that support growth.
