Position Overview
Asiacruit is supporting a growing beauty and cosmetics company in Indonesia in hiring a Purchasing Leader to oversee supplier sourcing, supplier development, production monitoring, and procurement activities across China. The position is based in China and will serve as a key liaison between the company's Indonesia-based management team and suppliers and manufacturers across China. The role requires strong on-the-ground supplier management, frequent travel across China, and regular business travel to Indonesia.
This is a hands-on opportunity for an experienced sourcing or procurement professional with strong knowledge of the Chinese supplier and manufacturing environment. The ideal candidate is proactive, commercially minded, highly independent, and able to identify potential supplier, production, quality, or shipment issues early.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify, source, evaluate, and develop suppliers and manufacturers across China.
- Compare supplier capabilities, pricing, quality, production capacity, lead times, and other commercial considerations.
- Support supplier negotiations and identify opportunities for cost savings and improved commercial terms.
- Monitor new projects and sample development, ensuring specifications, requirements, and timelines are properly followed.
- Monitor production progress and ensure suppliers meet agreed quality standards, specifications, and production schedules.
- Identify potential production, quality, and delivery issues early and coordinate corrective actions with suppliers.
- Monitor shipment readiness, shipping schedules, and relevant supplier documentation.
- Conduct supplier visits, factory assessments, audits, and production inspections across China.
- Maintain strong communication and follow-up with suppliers and manufacturers.
- Work closely with the Indonesia-based procurement and management teams to ensure supplier activities remain aligned with business requirements.
- Provide regular updates and reports covering sourcing progress, supplier development, sample status, production, shipment, potential issues, and corrective actions.
- Monitor supplier performance and identify opportunities to improve sourcing efficiency, cost competitiveness, quality, and supply reliability.
- Travel to Indonesia approximately every 3–4 months, or on short notice when required, for business meetings, reporting sessions, and coordination with the Indonesia team.
