- - Handle day-to-day purchase requests across departments, ensuring timely procurement, proper approvals, and adherence to internal purchase policy.
- - Own IT purchases — laptops, desktops, peripherals, networking equipment, and software licenses — in coordination with the IT team on specifications, budgets, and timelines.
- - Manage office stationery and consumables: track inventory, plan replenishment, and control wastage.
- - Negotiate pricing, payment terms, and service levels with vendors to optimise cost without compromising quality or delivery timelines.
- - Maintain up-to-date knowledge of product specifications and prevailing market rates to benchmark vendor quotes and validate pricing before approval.

- - Raise and track purchase orders, maintain accurate procurement records, and ensure audit-readiness of all purchase documentation.
- - Coordinate with the Finance team for invoice verification, payment processing, and budget tracking.
- - Monitor vendor performance against agreed SLAs and escalate/resolve issues around delivery, quality, or compliance.
- - Maintain and periodically update an approved vendor list and asset/inventory registers for IT and office supplies.
- - Identify cost-saving opportunities and recommend process improvements in the procurement workflow.
- - Support annual procurement planning and budgeting in coordination with Finance and department heads.
- - Ensure vendor compliance on statutory documentation (GST, PAN, contracts/NDAs) before onboarding and payment release.
Key Skills
- Strong negotiator — consistently secures favourable pricing, payment terms, and SLAs from vendors.
- - Excellent at vendor management and sourcing — skilled at identifying and onboarding new, reliable vendors.
- - Deep knowledge of products and their respective market rates — able to benchmark quotes and spot overpricing.
- - Strong inventory management skills — accurate stock tracking, reorder planning, and wastage control.
- - Good command of MS Excel and procurement/ERP tools for tracking, reporting, and analysis.
- - Strong organisational and multitasking skills, with the ability to manage multiple vendors and purchase requests simultaneously.

- - High attention to detail and ownership when it comes to documentation, approvals, and audit trails.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Commerce, Supply Chain Management, or a related field.
- - 5–8 years of experience in procurement / purchase management, preferably in a technology, SaaS, or corporate administration environment.
- - Proven experience in vendor sourcing, negotiation, and contract management.
- - Working knowledge of IT hardware/software procurement is preferred.
