Supply Chain - Manager

Role Summary

Duratuf ships electrical safety equipment to industries in 65+ countries from two entities — India and the UAE. The Supply Chain Manager owns the keystone sub-function of Operations: plan demand, hold the right stock, and buy and move every order — Purchase Order (PO) to dispatch, fully documented — so nothing ships late and nothing sits dead. You inherit a working team and live lanes on day one, and you own the planning cycle, the vendors, the freight, and the trade documentation across both entities.

Key Responsibilities

Demand & Supply Planning

• Stand up and personally run the monthly S&OP (Sales & Operations Planning) cycle — forecast, stock policy, replenishment — within your first 60 days.
  
• Hold stock cover within policy bands on fast-moving items: high forecast accuracy, minimal stockouts, inventory turns at target.
  

International Sourcing & Imports

• Run inbound operations hands-on: Bill of Entry (BOE), customs clearance, Customs House Agent (CHA) coordination, inbound freight from overseas suppliers.
  
• Own supplier inbound OTIF (On-Time In-Full) on strategic international vendors, with a structured expediting cadence.
  

Export Dispatch & Documentation

• Own on-time dispatch across Kolkata and Bhiwadi lanes.
  
• Own export documentation end-to-end — Bill of Lading (BL), Certificate of Origin (COO), Letter of Credit / Telegraphic Transfer (LC/TT), packing documentation — ex-India and ex-Dubai, with zero rejections as the standard.
  

Cost & Negotiation

• Drive landed cost down against baseline through freight and vendor negotiation to engineering should-cost benchmarks.
  

Systems & Team

• Build SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) others can run — ERP/Zoho-class systems discipline, dashboards over chasing.
  
• Lead and develop the inherited supply chain team across inbound and outbound.
  

Requirements

Experience

• 6+ years in supply chain, with at least 3 years owning a demand-planning or S&OP cycle — personally ran the monthly cycle with owned forecast-accuracy and stock-cover numbers, not "supported planning."
  
• Personally ran both import operations (BOE, customs clearance, CHA coordination, inbound freight) and export operations (BL, COO, LC/TT, packing documentation) within the last 3 years — with named lanes and ports.
  
• Vendor and freight negotiation with owned numbers — named lanes and the % savings you personally delivered.
  
• ERP/Zoho-class systems discipline — builds SOPs that outlive you.
  
• Exposure to a certified-product or quality-critical context is a strong plus.
  

Non-Negotiables

• Hands-on import and export operations within the last 3 years — supervising a team that did it does not qualify. You should be able to walk a shipment end-to-end from memory, including where clearances go wrong.
  
• First-hand demand planning / S&OP ownership — having "supported planning" does not qualify.
  
• Based in Kolkata or committed to relocating.
  
• Notice period of 60 days or less.
  

Benefits

• Flexible Leave Policy
  
• WFH and Out of Office opportunities on requirement and condition
  
• Performance Recognition
  
• Dynamic Career Growth
  
• Statutory benefits as per industry standards
  
• High ownership, performance-driven work culture
  
• Opportunity to manage a critical function in a growing organization
