Job Description:

End-to-End Procurement, Own Brands. Lead sourcing of raw materials (actives, excipients,

fragrance, colour cosmetics inputs), packaging materials (primary and secondary), and select finished

goods from both domestic and international vendors.

Multi-Quote Process Design & Enforcement. Design and enforce a non-negotiable multi-vendor

quote process for every significant procurement. Maintain an auditable quote history and variance

analysis before PO issuance.

Vendor Development & Market Intelligence. Continuously scout and onboard new suppliers.

Maintain a structured new-vendor pipeline covering price benchmarks, quality certification, capacity,

and compliance status.

Localisation Programme. Map imported components across the product portfolio, assess localisation

feasibility, and build domestic partnerships to progressively reduce import dependency - improving

lead times and landed costs.

Inventory Risk Management.



Work with planning and brand teams to right-size procurement

volumes; monitor slow-moving and non-moving inventory; drive root-cause resolution and liquidation

plans.

New Product Launch Support. Partner with NPD and brand teams to keep procurement on the

critical path - not the bottleneck. Define and own procurement SLAs for new launches.

Cost Benchmarking & Savings Reporting. Own a structured cost-saving tracker - initial quoted price

versus final negotiated cost - and report outcomes to leadership monthly by category.

Contract & Compliance Management. Negotiate and formalise vendor agreements, payment terms,

and quality commitments. Ensure compliance with Nykaa's quality, safety, and regulatory standards.

Team Building. Recruit, mentor, and grow a small, high-performance procurement team with explicit

ownership by category and function.
