Function / Department: Business Development
Position Level: Senior Consultant
Employment Type: Full Time
Work Mode: Onsite
Location: Coimbatore, India
Reports To: CEO, Sourcing & Business Development
Team Size: 1 - 3
Travel Requirement: Frequent (25-50%)

ABOUT THE ROLE
This role sits at the join between two markets. On one side, global industrial buyers in manufactured products (engineering and related), who need reliable, cost-competitive manufacturing out of India. On the other, an Indian supply base of foundries, forge shops, machining units and fabricators whose capability is real but whose export readiness varies enormously. You will build the pipeline on the buy side, develop and qualify the partner base on the supply side, give recommendations, facilitate customisations & negotiate the commercial terms that make both work. The role is based in Coimbatore and expected to stay close to it. The manufacturing and engineering clusters here, spanning foundries, forge shops, pump and motor manufacturers and precision machining units, is one of the densest in the country,



and supplier development in this business is done on shop floors rather than over video calls. Travel is frequent but largely within Tamil Nadu and the neighbouring manufacturing and engineering belts. This is a senior individual-contributor position. You will operate with full autonomy on a mandate, setting the approach, sequencing the work and bringing decisions rather than questions. This is a forerunner position able to self-direct to grow the Business.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Build and own the client pipeline for sourcing and supplier-development mandates, targeting industrial buyers across oil and gas, valves and pumps, automotive and EV, general engineering, iron and steel, aerospace and mining.
- Convert qualified opportunities into signed engagements, structuring scope, commercial terms and success criteria that hold up through delivery.
- Identify, assess and onboard Indian manufacturing
