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.

• 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.
