Senior Manager Operations

Jewels. Hire, a distinguished leader in the realm of jewellery industry recruitment, extends its invitation for a position at a renowned jewellery manufacturer located in Andheri east, Mumbai Job Responsibilities: SKU & Stock Planning: Own the SKU master, manage stock levels across categories, and build a planning rhythm that balances bestsellers, new launches, and slow movers.

Manufacturer Management & Sourcing: Be the primary point of contact for our existing manufacturing partners, and actively scout, evaluate, and onboard new ones to build resilience and unlock new product capabilities. COGS Ownership: Understand the cost build-up of every piece — materials, making charges, certification, packaging — and work to optimise it without compromising on craft.

Cross-Border Warehousing: Coordinate warehousing operations across India and the UK, ensuring stock visibility, accurate inventory, and smooth movement between locations. Demand Planning & Analytics: Identify fast-moving SKUs, predict demand patterns, and translate that into purchase orders and production plans. Bring a data-led lens to merchandising decisions.

Packaging & Display Sourcing: Lead vendor sourcing and planning for packaging, display units, and any retail or trade-show collateral. Communication: Keep founders, the UK team, manufacturers, and warehouse partners aligned through clear, structured, and proactive communication.

Requirements

4–8 years of experience in jewellery, fashion, or premium D2C/retail brands, with a strong merchandising or buying foundation and meaningful operational exposure. Strong commercial instincts — comfortable with COGS, margins, sell-through, and stock turn. Manufacturing exposure: experience working with manufacturers, karigars, or workshop-based supply chains is a significant plus.

Cross-geography comfort: prior exposure to import/export or cross-border logistics is a bonus. Sharp analytical mindset — Excel/Sheets fluency is non-negotiable; familiarity with inventory or ERP tools is welcome. Excellent communication — both written and verbal, across internal teams and external partners. A founder's mindset: hands-on, organised, low-ego, and energised by ambiguity.
