We are looking for a highly aesthetic, design-oriented and trend-sensitive Curation professional to own the curation of our gifting categories at IGP. This role is for someone who can look beyond "what sells" and understand what people would want to discover, gift and own.

The Role

As the Curator, you will be responsible for building and continuously evolving a differentiated, relevant and commercially viable assortment across IGP's gifting categories.

You will identify emerging trends, discover interesting brands and products, evaluate design and quality, and curate collections that are aligned with IGP's brand identity, customer expectations and gifting occasions.

The ideal candidate has a strong visual and aesthetic sensibility, understands contemporary design and lifestyle trends, and can translate cultural, consumer and design trends into commercially relevant gifting assortments.

Key Responsibilities

- Own the curation of gifting assortments across relevant occasions, themes and customer segments.
- Identify products that are aesthetically distinctive, relevant, giftable and commercially viable.
- Build collections and assortments around occasions, trends, themes, price points and consumer needs.
- Maintain the right balance between evergreen products, trend-led products and newness.
- Continuously refresh the assortment to keep the category exciting, relevant and differentiated.

- Stay closely connected to design communities, exhibitions, design platforms, brands and emerging creators.

3. Product & Brand Discovery

- Scout and identify compelling brands, designers, artists, makers and suppliers aligned with IGP's aesthetic and quality standards.
- Evaluate products based on design, functionality, quality, price, uniqueness and gifting potential.




- Build a strong pipeline of potential products and brands.
- Work with internal teams and external partners to bring relevant products into the assortment.

4. Occasion & Collection Curation

- Develop curated collections for key gifting occasions, festivals and everyday gifting needs.
- Identify opportunities to create differentiated assortments around emerging occasions, consumer trends and cultural moments.
- Develop thematic collections that give customers an easy, inspiring and visually compelling way to shop.

5. Commercial Understanding

- Balance aesthetic appeal with commercial performance.
- Analyse sales, customer behaviour, product performance and category trends to identify opportunities.
- Understand price architecture, margins, sell-through and assortment productivity.
- Use data and customer insights to refine and improve curation decisions.
- Identify gaps in the assortment and opportunities for category expansion.

6. Cross-functional Collaboration

- Work closely with Category, Design, Buying, Merchandising, Marketing, Creative, Supply Chain and Operations teams.
- Partner with the Design and Creative teams to ensure products and collections are presented in a manner consistent with IGP's brand language.
- Collaborate on new launches, campaigns, seasonal collections and key gifting moments.
- Work cross-functionally to ensure curated products move seamlessly from concept and selection to launch and customer experience.

7. Category & Competitor Intelligence

- Regularly benchmark leading gifting, lifestyle, fashion, home and design brands in India and globally.
- Identify whitespace opportunities and emerging categories.




- Monitor competitor assortment, pricing, trends and customer propositions.
- Bring new ideas and perspectives to continuously strengthen IGP's product portfolio.

What We're Looking For

What Will Set You Apart

- Has a strong personal point of view on design and aesthetics.
- Naturally follows brands, designers, creators, fashion, interiors, art and lifestyle trends.
- Has an instinct for identifying "the next thing" before it becomes mainstream.
- Can create a compelling product story around an assortment.
