Job description
Designation
- Supply Chain Manager Reports To
- Operations Head Location
- Kolkata (HQ) Experience - 6 to 10 years 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.
