  • Procure packaging materials based on production needs and customer sales orders.
  • Ensure timely delivery of stock to minimize production delays.

  • Verify and submit supplier invoices promptly.

Supplier & Pricing Management

  • Negotiate competitive pricing and manage price adjustments.
  • Update item price lists and purchase orders with current pricing.
  • Foster strong supplier relationships and resolve stock issues efficiently.

Stock Control

  • Prepare and execute smooth stock takes.
  • Investigate and report on stock variances with accuracy.

Sourcing for New Projects

  • Source creative, cost-effective packaging solutions with optimal MOQs.
  • Collaborate with R&D to ensure timely receipt of designs, INCIs, and artwork.
  • Manage sample requests and approvals before initial orders.
