Product Sourcing & Merchandising Manager
Location: Delhi NCR (Hybrid)
Employment Type: Full-Time
About Us
We are an early-stage women’s lifestyle company building a multi-channel business across our own website, leading marketplaces (Amazon, Flipkart, etc.), and offline retail.
Our vision is to create a trusted lifestyle brand offering curated women’s apparel, handbags, and lifestyle accessories through both B2C and B2B channels.
We’re not looking for someone to simply fill a role, we’re looking for one of our first core team members who wants to help build a business from the ground up.
What We’re Looking For
We believe potential, ownership and commercial thinking matter more than years of experience.
If you’ve worked in product sourcing, merchandising, buying, fashion, D2C brands, e-commerce, supplier management or have gained equivalent hands-on experience, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re looking for someone who is curious, commercially minded, enjoys solving problems, and takes ownership.
Whether you have 18 months or 8 years of experience is less important than your ability to make an impact.
