About the Role
Aramya is launching Artificial Jewellery — a new category, being built from zero, and you would own the vendor and sourcing engine behind it.

You'll build the vendor base end-to-end, negotiate terms, and ensure consistent, high-quality delivery as we scale this category from the ground up. 

Key Responsibilities

• Build the vendor base from scratch for Artificial Jewellery — identifying, evaluating, and onboarding the right factories/suppliers.

• Own the full vendor lifecycle: sourcing, negotiation on cost/MOQ/lead time/terms, and ongoing relationship management.

• Hold at least two vendors for every core line so the category is never single-sourced.

• Run the end-to-end sourcing process — from vendor discovery to first production run.

• Negotiate pricing, terms, and timelines to hit cost and quality targets.

• Ensure on-time, on-quality delivery from vendors, holding them accountable to commitments.

• Work with the design team to translate trends and customer insights into buyable, producible styles.

Key Skills & Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience specifically in the artificial jewellery category.

• Strong, hands-on experience in procurement, sourcing, and vendor management — end-to-end.

• Background from NIFT, NID, FDDI, or an artificial jewellery-focused educational/professional pedigree.

• Proven ability to independently identify, evaluate, and onboard vendors for artificial jewellery.

• Experience owning quality standards and inspection processes.

• Strong understanding of materials, plating, casting, stone setting and finishing processes,  category metrics, margins, pricing and assortment planning.

• Willingness to travel to vendor clusters as needed.
