Job Purpose

The Vendor Management Executive / Manager will completely oversee our end-to-end supply chain, raw material procurement, and external fabrication partnerships. This role is responsible for scouting premium material suppliers, onboarding specialized local workshop vendors, negotiating cost-effective contracts, and tracking deliveries to ensure our internal design and production floors never face project delays.

Key Responsibilities

1. Vendor Sourcing, Onboarding & Management

• Scout, evaluate, and onboard high-quality suppliers for core model-making raw materials, including premium acrylic sheets, specialized polyurethane resins, SLA/FDM 3D printing filaments, high-grade wood composites, and specialized miniature electronics (matrix LEDs, micro-controllers, wiring kits).
• Identify and build a robust pipeline of backup local fabrication vendors providing specialized job-work like large-format CNC routing, metal fabrication, precision laser cutting, and specialized spray painting.
• Maintain an up-to-date, centralized database of active and alternative vendors, including performance ratings, lead times, credit terms, and pricing cards.

2. Negotiation, Cost Control & Contracting

• Negotiate competitive pricing models, annual volume discounts, delivery schedules, and favorable credit timelines (e.g., 30/60-day billing cycles) with suppliers.
• Draft, execute, and renew formal Service Level Agreements (SLAs), Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), and supply contracts in coordination with our legal and finance teams.
• Conduct periodic market research to benchmark material costs and aggressively identify cost-saving procurement alternatives without compromising on premium quality.

3. Purchase Coordination & Inventory Alignment

• Review bill-of-materials (BOM) requests generated by internal Design Team Leads and Project Managers to understand exact project dimensions, scaling needs, and material specifications.
• Raise clear, accurate Purchase Orders (POs) and closely track production schedules at vendor workshops to eliminate raw material bottlenecks.
• Monitor incoming material quality alongside the production floor supervisors and manage dispute resolution, item replacements, or credit notes for defective supplies.

4. Logistics & External Workshop Supervision

• Coordinate custom protective crating, heavy flight-case manufacturing, and specialized domestic/international freight transport for high-value finished models.
• Visit external job-work vendor sites across the Vasai-Virar and Mumbai industrial belts to audit quality standards, verify progress, and ensure strict project timeline adherence.
