About Ecoright
Ecoright is a design-led sustainable lifestyle brand, built in India for a global market. We make sustainability desirable — quirky, fashion-forward, and never preachy.
The Role
We're looking for a sourcing manager who knows the ground — factories, vendors, trims, and timelines. Someone who has sat across a supplier, negotiated hard, and still got the sample out on time. You'll own end-to-end sourcing across accessories and textiles, work closely with the design and product teams, and make sure what's on paper actually gets made.
What You'll Do
Vendor Development & Management
- Identify, evaluate, and onboard vendors across accessories and textiles
- Build and maintain a reliable vendor base — domestic and where relevant, international
- Conduct factory visits, audits, and performance reviews
Buying & Procurement
- Execute seasonal and ongoing buying in line with product plans and budgets
- Negotiate pricing, MOQs, lead times, and payment terms
- Raise POs, track confirmations, and manage order books
Product Development Support
- Work with the design team from brief to bulk — trims, materials, construction
- Source and manage sampling for new product launches
- Maintain tech packs, material libraries, and approved vendor lists
Quality & Compliance
- Ensure materials and products meet brand quality standards
- Coordinate pre-production and inline checks with QC teams
- Flag and resolve quality issues before they hit production
Operations & Planning
- Track delivery timelines and proactively manage delays
- Maintain sourcing trackers, cost sheets, and vendor databases
- Coordinate with production, logistics, and finance teams
What We're Looking For
- 2–4 years of sourcing experience in fashion, accessories, or lifestyle products
- Hands-on accessories sourcing experience — bags, hardware, trims, packaging
- Textile sourcing experience — fabrics, print, embroidery, surface treatments
- Buying experience — you've owned a buy, not just supported one
- Strong negotiation skills and vendor relationship management
- Detail-oriented with solid follow-through on timelines and deliverables
- Comfortable working across multiple categories simultaneously
What You Get
- Ownership of the full sourcing function — not just execution support
- Work across multiple product categories as the brand grows
- A role that shapes the product, not just sources it
