About the Role:
Aramya is launching Artificial Jewellery - a new category, being built from zero, and you would own the vendor and sourcing engine behind it.
You will build the vendor base end-to-end, negotiate terms, and ensure consistent, high-quality delivery as we scale this category from the ground up.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build the vendor base from scratch for Artificial Jewellery - identifying, evaluating, and onboarding the right factories/suppliers.
- Own the full vendor lifecycle: sourcing, negotiation on cost/MOQ/lead time/terms, and ongoing relationship management.
- Hold at least two vendors for every core line so the category is never single-sourced.
- Run the end-to-end sourcing process - from vendor discovery to first production run.
- Negotiate pricing, terms, and timelines to hit cost and quality targets.
- Ensure on-time, on-quality delivery from vendors, holding them accountable to commitments.
- Work with the design team to translate trends and customer insights into buyable, producible styles.
Key Skills & Qualifications:
- 8+ years of experience specifically in the artificial jewellery category.
- Strong, hands-on experience in procurement, sourcing, and vendor management - end-to-end.
- Background from NIFT, NID, FDDI, or an artificial jewellery-focused educational/professional pedigree.
- Proven ability to independently identify, evaluate, and onboard vendors for artificial jewellery.
- Experience owning quality standards and inspection processes.
- Strong understanding of materials, plating, casting, stone setting and finishing processes, category metrics, margins, pricing and assortment planning.
- Willingness to travel to vendor clusters as needed.
