Pune
India Pack is a B2B packaging procurement firm based in Chinchwad, Pune. For about ten years we have sourced FIBCs (big bags), PP woven bags, BOPP bags, flexible pouches and container liners from 10 audited Indian manufacturers, for buyers in the UK, Germany, Scandinavia, the USA and the Middle East.
Our buyers rely on us for much more than a price. They expect us to watch every order from purchase order to delivery, keep factories on schedule, get documents right first time, and act quickly when something goes wrong after the goods arrive.
We are hiring an After-Sales Support & Vendor Coordination Executive to own that work: following up with our partner factories, keeping international customers informed, handling complaints and claims, and making sure the terms we agree with buyers are the terms our suppliers deliver.

Key responsibilities
After-sales support
- Be the first point of contact for customers after an order is placed and after goods are delivered.
- Log, investigate and resolve complaints about quality, quantity, packing, labelling or documents.
- Gather evidence from the customer (photos, samples, test reports, batch numbers) and work with the factory to find the root cause and agree corrective action.
- Manage claims through to closure: replacement, credit note or rework, with clear records of what was agreed and why.
- Track recurring issues and report them so they are fixed at source.
Coordination and follow-up
- Follow every open order against its production timeline: raw material, weaving, printing, stitching, inspection, packing and dispatch.
- Chase factories before deadlines, not after them, and flag any likely delay to the Managing Partner and the customer early.
- Coordinate pre-shipment inspections, samples, approvals and lab tests.
- Work with freight forwarders and CHAs on bookings, container loading and shipment tracking.
- Check export documents (invoice, packing list, certificates, bill of lading) before they reach the customer.
Vendor management

- Maintain supplier records: capabilities, certifications and their expiry dates, contacts and capacity.
- Score supplier performance on quality, on-time delivery, responsiveness and complaint history.
- Support supplier audits and onboarding of current factories.
Contracts and order terms
- Check that each supplier purchase order matches the customer's order: specifications, quantities, prices, Incoterms, delivery dates, payment terms and labelling.
- Maintain a register of customer and supplier agreements, rate contracts and price validity, and flag renewals and expiries in advance.
- Track that agreed terms are actually met, and record any deviation and how it was resolved.
International customer support
- Communicate with buyers in Europe, the UK, the USA and the Middle East by email and video call, clearly and professionally, in written English.
- Send proactive order updates so customers never have to chase us.
- Respond within agreed timelines, with attention to customer time zones.
