Position: Head Of Supply Chain
Location: Pune
Working Days: Monday to Friday
Experience Required: 2-4 years
WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS
Bilt will only work if the electronics are good. A toy is interactive only if it does what it promises every time it's switched on, and that comes down to the components inside it. We aim to diversify the supplier base. As of now, much of our core electronic line sits with a few suppliers, and broadening that decides what we can launch and keep in stock. Demand is solid, and the job is building the ability to serve all of it. You'll own this end to end.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
- Electronics end to end: component sourcing, PCBA, and qualifying EMS partners
- Building supplier depth by qualifying alternate manufacturers, then holding both to a standard
- Landed cost per unit, with a mandate to bring it down
- Component-level demand and supply planning across SKUs and channels, connecting the launch calendar to what factories can deliver
- Materials: finding plastic alternatives and non-toxic materials that survive daily use, a factory and a price point
- Localisation and import strategy for the electronics bill of materials, building toward EN71 and ASTM F963
- The team: you'll lead the logistics, procurement and operations team we already have in-house
HOW THE JOB IS MEASURED
- Defect and reject rates
- Landed cost per unit
- Out-of-stock days by SKU
- The inventory cycle, in turns and days of stock
- Order cycle time
- Supplier diversification, measured as the share of spend sitting with any single supplier
REQUIREMENTS
- Electronics sourcing at component level. You have owned a multi-level BOM and bought the parts inside it
- You have qualified and scaled an EMS or PCBA partner yourself
- Supply chain or procurement in a physical product business. Consumer electronics, appliances or electronic toys preferred
- Demand planning for a multi-SKU, multi-channel operation
- An advantage: existing relationships with Chinese suppliers, agents or trading houses, experience running sourcing trips, and export-grade compliance (EN71, ASTM F963, BIS)
WHAT THE ROLE GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO
- Lead a team drawn from logistics, procurement and operations, already in-house
- Build a China muscle of your own. Our aim is to enable you to build a China import line. We'll back you to form direct supplier and factory relationships there, travel included, rather than routing through agents. Those relationships stay yours
- Earn variable pay tied to outcomes
