Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa Linked Up Pty Ltd Full time R400 000 - R800 000 per year

Cape Town | Southern Suburbs | Full-time

The company is DMQ Product Development and Trading

Are you an experienced product sourcer and negotiator with a passion for finding great products and building strong supplier relationships?
We are looking for a dynamic sourcing professional to join our Cape Town team, sourcing fashion, sport, lifestyle, outdoor and home accessories for some of South Africa's leading retailers.

Who We Are:

We are an established and growing import company supplying major SA retail groups. We specialise in Fashion, Sport, Outdoor, Leisure, Lifestyle, Home and related products — and pride ourselves on trend-forward, value-driven ranges that perform in store.

What You'll Do:

  • Source and build relationships with international suppliers — mainly in Asia (China focus)
  • Negotiate product costs, terms and delivery schedules
  • Confirm product duties, accurate costing and gross margins
  • Work closely with our merchandising team to develop and customise products for briefs
  • Manage sampling, approvals, QC processes and supplier sign-off
  • Coordinate with our in-house import logistics and clearing post
  • Track inbound samples and shipments to ensure on-time delivery
  • Identify and solve supply chain challenges proactively
  • Attend international trade shows and visit factories where needed
  • Drive quality feedback, negotiate replacements or credits when required

Who You Are:

  • Proven experience in sourcing, buying or client sales (ideally with Asian suppliers)
  • Strong understanding of the full sourcing process — from product development to delivery
  • Commercially astute — comfortable working with pricing, GP, and margin targets
  • Skilled negotiator — securing best terms while maintaining strong relationships
  • Detail-focused — accuracy in costing, documentation, and process tracking
  • Highly organised and able to manage multiple projects and deadlines
  • Advanced Excel and computer skills essential (Outlook, WeChat, etc.)
  • Familiar with international shipping and customs processes
  • Mandarin or Cantonese language an advantage
  • Retail sector knowledge (fashion or lifestyle products) a bonus
  • Driver's licence and own transport
  • SA citizen or valid work permit required

Why Join Us:

  • Work with an energetic, creative, and professional team
  • Help shape exciting ranges across multiple retail categories
  • Opportunity for international travel (trade shows, factory visits)
  • Competitive salary aligned with experience
  • Collaborative working environment

To Apply:

If you are an experienced sourcing professional who thrives on negotiation, detail, and delivering results, we would love to hear from you. Please send your CV and a brief cover letter via Indeed. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
