Own end-to-end supply chain for India and UAE: run monthly S&OP, manage inventory and forecasts, oversee international inbound (BOE, customs, CHA) and export documentation (BL, COO, LC/TT), drive landed-cost improvements, build SOPs and ERP discipline, and lead the inbound/outbound team to ensure on-time dispatch and minimal rejections.

Experience - 6 to 10 years
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.
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
