Key Strategic Pillars

Strategic Sourcing & Global Procurement (RM & PM)

- Global Ingredient Strategy: Secure high-stability actives (Retinol, Vit C, Ceramides) from global vendors, ensuring ethical sourcing and cost leadership.

QA/QC & Regulatory Excellence

- Efficacy Benchmarking: Ensure every batch meets "Real Result" stability benchmarks before market release.

- Global Compliance: Maintain 100% adherence to GMP and regulatory standards for both Indian and international markets.

Packaging Innovation & COGS Optimization

- Functional Design: Source packaging that protects ingredient integrity (UV/Oxidation) while maintaining the brand's aesthetic.

- Value Engineering: Implement structural changes to reduce breakage and shipping costs without compromising the unboxing experience.

Data-Driven Demand & Omnichannel Planning

- Inventory Synchronization: Balance stock levels across D2C, marketplaces (Nykaa/Amazon), and General Trade, Modern Trade to eliminate stock-outs.

- Predictive Forecasting: Use consumer feedback loops and sales velocity data to drive agile production cycles for NPD and hero products.

What We're Looking For

- Experience: 10+ years in Supply Chain/Operations within Beauty, Personal Care, or FMCG.

- D2C DNA: Proven track record of navigating the agility and speed required by high-growth, digital-first brands.
