Senior Vegetable Sourcing/procurement(蔬菜/肉类采购 会中文）

About the role

As Senior Vegetable Sourcing, you will be responsible for ensuring stable supply, competitive pricing, and consistent quality across the vegetable category. You will manage two parallel sourcing channels: Direct Procurement (sourcing vegetables from wholesalers, importers, and farms; managing inventory in the warehouse to fulfil platform orders) and Supplier Onboarding (identifying, evaluating, and onboarding third-party suppliers onto the FoodMax platform, enabling them to sell directly to customers).

Key responsibilities

• Monitor daily stock levels of key vegetable SKUs; proactively identify and address shortage risks before they result in stockouts on the platform
• Build and maintain a diversified supplier base across multiple origins (Malaysia, Thailand, China, local SG farms) to reduce single-source dependency
• Track seasonal availability patterns and adjust sourcing plans accordingly
• Coordinate with warehouse team on receiving, storage conditions, and FIFO rotation to minimise spoilage
• Conduct regular price benchmarking against Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre market rates and competing B2B platforms
• Negotiate purchase prices, payment terms, and volume commitments with suppliers
• Analyse landed cost breakdowns (purchase price, freight, handling, wastage) to identify margin improvement opportunities
• Support pricing strategy discussions with data-driven recommendations
• Establish and communicate clear quality specifications for each vegetable SKU (grade, size, freshness, packaging)
• Conduct incoming goods inspections and work with suppliers to resolve quality issues promptly

About you

• Track supplier quality performance over time; initiate corrective actions or supplier replacement where needed
• Ensure all sourced products comply with SFA food safety requirements
