Head of Procurement

Procurement Head — BRÜK
📍 Bangalore, India
🕒 Full-time | Work from Office
About BRÜK
BRÜK is a premium consumer lifestyle brand inspired by Scandinavian design — built around simplicity, functionality and everyday joy. We're at an early, pre-revenue stage of building the brand, and we're looking for someone to own procurement and vendor relationships as we set up for launch.
The Most Important Qualification
Hands-on experience in procurement and vendor management is a MUST — ideally in a D2C, retail, manufacturing, or consumer brand setup.
This is a founding-stage role. You'll be setting up processes from scratch, not managing an existing team or system.
We're looking for someone who understands:
Vendor sourcing, evaluation and negotiation
Purchase order and inventory management
Cost control and budget tracking
Quality checks and vendor accountability
Basic contracts and procurement documentation
What You'll Do
1. Vendor Sourcing & Negotiation
Identify, evaluate and onboard suppliers/vendors (raw materials, packaging, manufacturing partners)
Negotiate pricing, payment terms and delivery timelines
Build and maintain vendor relationships for long-term reliability
Continuously scout for better/alternate vendors as the brand scales
2. Purchase & Order Management
Manage purchase orders end-to-end
Track deliveries and resolve delays or quality issues
Set up basic procurement processes and documentation from scratch
3. Inventory & Cost Management
Track stock levels and coordinate reorders
Monitor costs and flag inefficiencies
Work with founders on budgeting for production runs
4. Cross-functional Support
Work closely with founders on early-stage procurement decisions
Help build scalable procurement systems as the company grows from zero
Who We're Looking For
3–5 years of experience in procurement or supply chain
Prior experience with vendor negotiation and purchase order management — mandatory
Comfortable working in a pre-revenue, early-stage environment with ambiguity
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
Comfortable using basic tools (Excel/Sheets, WhatsApp/email for vendor coordination, AI tools like ChatGPT for drafting/tracking)
Hands-on, resourceful, and willing to build processes from the ground up
Important
Procurement and vendor management experience is the #1 requirement for this role.
We're looking for someone who has actually negotiated with and managed vendors — not someone with only theoretical exposure.
