Procurement & Supply Chain Manager  

We are looking for a Procurement & Supply Chain Manager to oversee and coordinate our India-based operations team. This is a management-focused role — you will be responsible for bringing structure, accountability, and operational discipline to a team of approximately 12 people covering manufacturing, sourcing, and logistics functions.

This is not a hands-on procurement role. You will not be negotiating contracts or managing vendors directly. Your job is to ensure the India team operates efficiently, meets deadlines, communicates clearly, and delivers consistent results.

Key Responsibilities

• Supervise and manage the India-based operations team (~12 people) remotely from Manila
• Establish clear workflows, processes, and accountability structures for the team
• Conduct regular check-ins, status updates, and performance reviews
• Ensure tasks related to manufacturing, sourcing, and logistics are completed on time and to standard
• Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and communication gaps — and fix them
• Serve as the primary point of contact between the India team and Manila leadership
• Escalate issues appropriately and provide regular status reports to the General Manager
• Document processes and create standard operating procedures where none exist

Required:

• 5+ years of experience managing remote or distributed teams
• Proven ability to bring structure and discipline to disorganized or underperforming teams
• Strong communication skills — clear, direct, and consistent
• Experience holding people accountable and driving results
• Comfortable working across time zones
• Fluent in English (written and verbal)

Preferred:

• Experience in operations, supply chain, or manufacturing environments (but not required)
• Familiarity with project management tools (Asana, Monday, Trello, etc.)
• Experience managing teams in India or South Asia
