Purchase Head

Job Title: Purchase Head Company: Katyayani Organics SAP Module: SAP MM Roles & Responsibilities: Job description About the Role We are looking for a senior purchase professional to own the Purchase function end-to-end for packaging materials and consumables. This is not an order-punching role. You will own the category, the vendor base, the cost, the forecast, the inventory calls, and the team. You will be the single point of accountability for making sure that no batch, no dispatch, and no season is ever held up for want of packaging material, and that we buy it at the right cost. Key Responsibilities * Own the full procure-to-pay cycle for all packaging materials: HDPE and COEX bottles, jerry cans, caps and closures (including CRC), induction seals and wads, printed labels and wrap-around labels, laminates and flexible pouches, mono cartons, corrugated boxes, WPP and BOPP bags, tin containers, drums, measuring cups, shrink film, tapes and liners. * Own procurement of plant and factory consumables, MRO items, packing consumables, safety and PPE items and lab consumables. * Take full responsibility for cost, quality, quantity and on-time delivery of the category. 4. Vendor development, cost and negotiation * Build and develop a reliable, dual-sourced vendor base for every critical item, including alternate and backup vendors for peak season. * Negotiate rate contracts, annual price agreements and payment terms; run RFQs, comparative statements and should-cost or cost-breakup based negotiation. * Track polymer and input price movement (PP, HDPE, LDPE, kraft paper, tin plate, printing ink) and use it proactively for both cost reduction and cost protection. * Deliver year-on-year cost savings, better payment terms and improved landed cost without compromising quality or compliance. * Drive vendor rating, vendor audits and development of vendors on quality, capacity and delivery. * Lead, review and build the purchase team: set targets, define review cadence, build SOPs and develop the next level. * Institutionalise the function in the ERP: purchase requisition to PO to GRN discipline, item masters, approval matrix, vendor masters and clean documentation. * Publish the monthly purchase MIS: spend analysis, savings delivered, price trend, vendor performance, inventory days, stock-out and near-miss report. Why This Role * Complete ownership of a function, not a slot in someone else's function. You will own the category, the team and the numbers. * Direct access to leadership, quick decisions and no long approval chains. * A company growing fast enough that your planning quality directly shows up in dispatch, revenue and farmer service.
