Job Description
This Purchase Executive / Senior Executive role at EC Technologies, based in Sonipat, sits at a more strategic level than typical purchase execution positions, requiring genuine procurement strategy leadership rather than pure transaction processing. You will lead material procurement strategy end to end, working to optimize overall spend while mitigating supply chain risks that could disrupt production continuity. Close collaboration with the engineering team is required specifically around new product launches, meaning procurement decisions need to align with product design requirements from an early stage. Managing supplier relationships extends beyond transactional purchasing into genuine partnership development, and contract negotiation work aims to secure favorable long-term terms.
Requirements
Candidates need 2-7 years of experience with practical SAP MM procurement transaction skills combined with genuine vendor development and strategic sourcing capability. Strong material planning skills are required to ensure on-time availability for production needs. Cost reduction experience is essential, since this is an explicit performance expectation rather than a secondary responsibility. Comfort maintaining ISO documentation and supporting audit processes is required, reflecting the quality-management rigor at this established manufacturer. Because cross-functional coordination with PPC, Production, QA, and Finance is central to this role, candidates need strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders. A B.
