Procurement & Vendor Management

Location

Rishihood Campus

ROLE PURPOSE

This role owns the operational engine of procurement for the entire campus — sourcing, purchasing, inventory and cost control for everything from kitchen ingredients and housekeeping consumables to maintenance spares and project materials. It works closely with the Kitchen & Dining, Estate Management, Facilities and Projects teams to translate their requirements into timely, quality-assured purchases, and with the Campus 2.0 Experience function to ensure every vendor contract protects the Rishihood Standard, not just the price.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Run end-to-end procurement operations: requisition management, sourcing, quotations/tendering, purchase orders, goods receipt and payment coordination.

• Build and maintain a reliable,



pre-qualified vendor base across categories — food & kitchen supplies, housekeeping consumables, maintenance and MRO items, project materials, office and campus supplies.

• Negotiate pricing, payment terms and contracts, balancing cost efficiency with the quality and consistency the Rishihood Standard demands.

• Own inventory planning and stock management for recurring consumables (kitchen, housekeeping, maintenance) to avoid both stock-outs and wastage.

• Partner with Head – Kitchen & Dining, Estate Manager and Facilities & Maintenance to forecast demand and plan procurement calendars.

• Maintain procurement MIS — vendor database, price benchmarks, spend analysis, purchase-order tracking — and report regularly to the Director – Operations.

• Ensure all purchased goods and vendors meet statutory, safety and quality compliance (e.g. FSSAI for food ingredients, safety certifications for maintenance items).

• Support Projects & Development
