The AGM Procurement leads procurement for a cluster of cities or a defined vertical within Flipspaces —

translating the national procurement strategy into on-the-ground sourcing execution. This role sits between the

GM Procurement (strategy and standards) and the city-level procurement teams (day-to-day execution), and is

accountable for vendor relationships, rate contracts, cost performance, and process compliance within the

assigned region or category.

The AGM Procurement is not a buyer; they are a commercial manager and team leader — responsible for ensuring

that every purchase across their region is strategically sourced, correctly priced, properly documented, and

delivered on time to the project.

Roles and Responsibilities:

A. Regional Procurement Leadership

- Lead and manage the procurement team across assigned cities or verticals — set KPIs, conduct reviews,

develop capability, and ensure consistent standards across all team members.

- Translate the national procurement strategy into city-level execution plans — vendor onboarding timelines,

rate contract roll-outs, benchmark database updates, and process digitisation milestones.

- Own procurement cost performance for the assigned region — track actual vs contracted rates, flag

variances, and drive corrective action within the procurement cycle.

- Report monthly to the GM Procurement on regional procurement performance — spend analytics, savings

delivered, vendor performance, process compliance, and open issues.

- Act as the escalation point for all procurement issues within the region — vendor disputes, supply failures,

material quality rejections, and commercial disagreements.

B. Vendor Management & Development

- Own the vendor relationship for all key vendors within the assigned region — maintain the relationship,

manage performance, and escalate or exit vendors based on scorecard results.

- Identify and onboard new vendors to fill gaps in the regional vendor panel — conduct technical and financial

assessments, negotiate terms, and complete the empanelment process.

- Drive annual and quarterly vendor performance reviews within the region — assess delivery, quality, pricing,

and responsiveness; share results with the GM and city project teams.

- Build local vendor networks in new cities that Flipspaces enters within the region — ensure procurement

readiness before project mobilisation.





- Maintain the regional vendor master — ensure all vendor data, rate cards, and performance records are

current, accurate, and accessible to the city procurement teams.

C. Rate Contracts & Commercial Negotiation

- Negotiate and execute rate contracts with key regional vendors across all material and subcontractor

categories — in alignment with the national framework set by the GM Procurement.

- Maintain the regional rate benchmarking database — update quarterly; validate all vendor quotes against

benchmarks before recommending order placement.

- Ensure all commercial agreements are formally documented with proper approvals — POs, work orders, and

rate agreements to be on file with zero verbal commitments.

- Track rate contract performance — monitor actual prices vs contracted rates across the region; identify and

close leakage within the procurement cycle.

- Support the GM Procurement in national-level contract negotiations by providing regional data on volumes,

vendor reliability, and pricing trends.

D. Procurement Process & Compliance

- Enforce the end-to-end procurement SOP across all city teams in the region — from purchase requisition

and vendor selection to PO issuance, GRN, invoice matching, and payment trigger.

- Drive process compliance audits within the region — identify gaps, retrain teams, and escalate repeat non-

compliance to the GM Procurement.

- Ensure all procurement transactions run through the digital platform — no WhatsApp orders, no verbal POs,

no payment without 3-way match completion.

- Monitor PO cycle times, GRN turnaround, and payment processing within the region — track against SLA

and flag delays to the finance and project teams.

- Prepare weekly and monthly procurement MIS for the GM Procurement — regional spend, savings, vendor

performance, process compliance, and open payables.

E. Project & Stakeholder Coordination

- Work closely with regional AVPs, AGM-Ops, and Project Managers to align procurement timelines with

project execution schedules — no site delay due to material non-availability.





- Coordinate with the QC team on material approval protocols — ensure no material is ordered without

sample approval and no material is accepted on site without GRN inspection.

- Support the design and pre-sales teams with material pricing inputs, vendor options, and lead time data

during BOQ preparation and client proposals.

- Coordinate with the finance team on vendor payment schedules, advance management, and vendor

payment dispute resolution within the region.

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE HARD:

- You are the link between national strategy and city-level reality — every standard set centrally must be

made to work in the messiness of live projects and local vendor markets.

- Managing vendor relationships in multiple cities means different market dynamics, different vendor

maturities, and different pressure points — there is no single playbook that works everywhere.

- Getting city procurement teams — often under intense project pressure — to follow process and use the

system, rather than defaulting to WhatsApp and verbal orders, is a daily uphill effort.

- Rate contracts give you volume commitments to negotiate with, but project pipelines shift — managing

vendor expectations when volumes are not delivered as promised requires skill and credibility.

- The role demands commercial sharpness, process discipline, and people leadership simultaneously —

candidates strong in one often struggle in another.

DESIRED CANDIDATE PROFILE:

- 10–15 years in procurement — with at least 3–4 years in a regional or cluster procurement leadership role in

commercial interiors, construction, real estate, or a project-based business.

- Robust vendor negotiation and contract management skills across construction and interior material

categories.

- Proven ability to lead and develop a procurement team across multiple locations.
- Comfortable with procurement technology and data-driven performance management.
- Degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, or Business Administration. MBA is an advantage.
