Procurement Specialist
IM8 is a next-generation health and longevity brand co-founded by David Beckham and Prenetics (NASDAQ: PRE), on a mission to make world-class nutritional science accessible to everyone. Launched in late 2024, IM8 grew Q1 2026 revenue nearly 6x year-over-year to $33.8M, and the company has raised full-year 2026 IM8 revenue guidance to $190M–$210M. Over 60% of revenue is generated outside the US. We ship to 43 countries, and our athlete partner roster includes David Beckham, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Aryna Sabalenka, Ollie Bearman, and Inter Miami CF.
We are built on science, not story — our flagship Daily Ultimate Essentials carries 90 active ingredients, we run randomized controlled trials on our products, and we hold a clinical-grade standard in a category notorious for shortcuts.
Our business is subscription at its core. Every shipment that lands on time, in full, and to spec is a brand promise kept - and on a subscription model, those promises compound into loyalty, LTV, and the freedom to keep growing.
Why This Role Is Different
Most procurement roles inherit bloated processes and spend their days pushing paper. This one does not. At IM8’s growth rate, procurement is the difference between a product that ships flawlessly and a stockout that reads as a broken promise to a subscriber. Every ingredient sourced, every shipment tracked, and every document filed correctly protects the customer experience our brand is built on. We need someone who treats procurement as a brand asset, not a back-office function - and who wants to help build the playbook, not just follow one.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Procurement Assistant - IM8, based in Hong Kong (on-site), to support the end-to-end flow of raw materials, packaging, and finished goods from our manufacturing partners to our customers. You will work hand-in-hand with Operations, Quality Assurance, and Product Development to keep our supply chain accurate, on time, and audit-ready as we scale. Your mandate: make sure what we promise customers is delivered flawlessly - every ingredient, every shipment, every time.
What You’ll Do
Procure-to-Pay
Own the end-to-end procure-to-pay process for raw materials, packaging, and finished goods across our life-science and healthcare products.
Support procurement managers and officers with research, analysis, and reporting that keeps sourcing decisions sharp.
Cross-Functional Coordination
Partner daily with Operations, Quality Assurance, and Product Development to align on components, packaging requirements, lead times, and new product iterations - anticipating and resolving supply issues before they surface.
Support inventory control: monitor stock levels and coordinate with relevant teams for timely replenishment.
Sourcing & Vendors
Source and evaluate vendors on pricing, quality, delivery, regulatory compliance, and ethical sourcing; negotiate low-risk agreements under senior guidance, capturing every detail accurately.
Logistics & Documentation
Book freight, track shipments, and manage import/export documents (Certificates of Analysis, customs declarations), resolving delivery exceptions with minimal disruption.
Maintain accurate records in our ERP and supplier-performance dashboards (on-time delivery, cost savings, quality metrics, compliance documentation).
What We’re Looking For
1-3 years’ experience in purchasing, supply chain, or operations support.
A strong analytical mindset with exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy.
Proven ability to juggle multiple priorities and hit tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Excellent written and verbal communication (English; Cantonese/Mandarin a plus) to work with vendors and internal stakeholders.
Proficiency with Excel or Google Sheets for cost analysis, reporting, and data management.
Non-Negotiable
You are on-site in Hong Kong, ready for real-time collaboration and vendor coordination.
You are meticulous. When a Certificate of Analysis, a customs declaration, or a cost figure is wrong, you catch it before it becomes a problem. If “close enough” is your standard, this is not your role.
Nice to Have
Exposure to consumer products, manufacturing, or health-science categories.
Familiarity with D365, Procurify, Precoro, or an equivalent ERP, with an emphasis on accurate data entry and reporting.
You Must Be AI-Native
Active, fluent daily AI tool usage is mandatory, not optional. We expect you to be embedding AI into every workflow you touch on day one.
