| Type | Full-time, permanent — 3-month probation |

Purpose: Own the entire chain from supplier to customer doorstep — procurement, stock, dispatch, and order service — as a single accountable function. This is a command role, not a coordination role.

Procurement (handled personally)

• Procure all preforms, caps, labels, shrink film, cartons, jars, glass bottles, chemicals, consumables, and spares.

• Maintain minimum three approved vendors for every A-category material; justify single sourcing in writing.

• Negotiate rate agreements; benchmark against market quarterly with a written variance note.

• Raise purchase orders only against approved requisitions and within delegated authority.

• Route all incoming material through Quality before it is taken on charge.

• Maintain the Approved Vendor List with NTN, STRN, bank details, rates, terms, certifications.

• Conduct a documented quarterly vendor review — delivery, rejection rate, rate competitiveness.

• Track material cost per unit by SKU monthly against the approved costing model.

• Deliver documented cost-reduction initiatives each year.

Planning

• Prepare a rolling monthly material requirement plan from sales forecast and production schedule; review weekly.

• Set and review re-order levels, safety stock, and lead times for every material code.

• Pre-position packaging for the summer peak, plant expansion, and the Balochistan rollout.

• Align production plan with confirmed order book and available stock, weekly with the Production Incharge.

Supervision — Inventory

• Direct the Inventory Incharge on counts, GRNs, FIFO, and quarantine discipline.

• Sign off the monthly physical stock reconciliation and every variance explanation.

• Own the returnable jar position — loss rate, ledger accuracy, and reconciliation to deposits.

Supervision — Logistics

• Approve daily route plans and vehicle loading against the confirmed order sheet.

• Control delivery cost per unit — fuel, maintenance, driver overtime, third-party hire.

• Enforce delivery documentation: challans signed, jars returned and recorded, gate passes complete.

• Review vehicle uptime, breakdowns, and route productivity weekly.

Supervision — Customer Service

• Ensure every order is captured same day and the daily order sheet reaches Logistics before cut-off.

• Review the Complaint Register weekly; drive closure and root cause, not just response.

• Ensure the Customer Master File stays complete and accurate.

• Escalate all product quality complaints to Quality and the CEO; these are never closed within this department.

Reporting

• Weekly: material availability, open POs, stock-out risks, delivery performance, complaint status.

• Monthly: procurement spend, rate variance, vendor scorecard, cost per unit, stock reconciliation, jar position, delivery cost per unit.

Requirements

• Bachelor's in Supply Chain, Business, Commerce, or Engineering; Master's or professional certification an advantage.

• Minimum 6 years in supply chain, of which 3 managing a team of at least three subordinates.

• Beverage, food, or FMCG manufacturing experience essential; PET and packaging procurement a distinct advantage.

• Proven ownership of procurement, warehouse, and distribution together — not procurement alone.

• Strong Excel (pivots, lookups, cost modelling); hands-on ERP procurement, inventory, and despatch modules.

• Familiar with food-grade specifications and PSQCA packaging requirements.

• Valid driving licence; able to attend the plant early and travel for vendor and route audits.

Candidate Profile — the calibre required

• Commands a room.Must be able to direct three subordinates, hold them to targets, and correct them without escalating every matter to the CEO.

• Hard negotiator. Ask for specific savings delivered, with figures and the vendor context. Vague answers disqualify.

• Confronts rather than accommodates. Must be willing to reject a supplier consignment, refuse an unauthorised stock issue, and pull up a driver — including where the person is longer-serving than he is.

• Owns outcomes. Reports his own failures before they are discovered. Does not explain shortfalls by blaming subordinates or other departments.

• Numerate under questioning. Must build and defend a landed-cost calculation unaided, in the interview, on paper.

• Unimpeachable integrity. This role controls the largest discretionary spend and now supervises the man who counts the stock.

Cannot Do Without Approval

• Purchase above the limit stated in the appointment letter.

• Add a vendor to the Approved Vendor List without rate comparison and CEO countersignature.

• Vary a contract rate, extend credit terms, or issue an advance payment.

• Approve a stock write-off, adjustment, or scrapping above the specified value.

• Agree a customer rate, discount, or credit term — this remains with Sales and the CEO.

• Must declare in writing any personal or family interest in any vendor or transporter.
