Sourcing Specialist

The gist
Every great brand starts with something great in a bottle, jar or sachet. You'll be the one who finds it. At Meolaa, we're building a house of brands and we need someone who can sniff out the best ingredients, packaging, and manufacturers before anyone else does.
What you'll actually do
Find and vet suppliers: raw materials, fragrance oils, packaging, contract manufacturers
Negotiate prices, MOQs and lead times like it's a sport
Run sample rounds with R&D and brand teams. Track what works, bin what doesn't
Keep a live supplier database. No more "who was that vendor again?"
Check quality, compliance and certifications (BIS, CDSCO, cruelty-free, clean claims)
Chase POs, deliveries and delays so launches don't slip
Keep an eye out for new ingredients, trends and cheaper, better alternatives
Build backup vendors for everything. Single-supplier risk is not our vibe
You're a fit if
You've got 2-4 years in sourcing or procurement, ideally in beauty, personal care, wellness, or D2C
You know your actives from your emollients (or learn fast)
You're comfy with Excel/Sheets and numbers: cost sheets, landed cost, margins
You negotiate well without burning bridges
You follow up. Then follow up again
You're curious about what's trending in clean beauty and wellness
Bonus points
Existing network of fragrance, packaging or contract manufacturing vendors
Experience with import/export or China/EU sourcing
You've been part of a product launch from brief to shelf
What you'll get
Real ownership. Your calls shape what ships
Direct access to founders and brand leads
A fast-moving, General Catalyst-backed startup where your work shows up on shelves
Room to grow into a category sourcing lead
