Role summary
This is primarily a negotiation-driven role. The Purchase Manager will own end-to-end buying of raw materials, imported
traded goods and packaging, and is expected to consistently win better price, payment terms and supply commitments
from suppliers, while ensuring the right quality, on time, with no production stoppage.
Negotiation skills core requirement
Strong, proven negotiation ability is the` most important requirement for this role. The candidate must be able to:
Price negotiation: negotiate hard and fact-based on volatile, crude-linked materials (MDI / isocyanates, polyols,
solvents, pigments) using market price trends, cost breakdowns and competing quotes.
Commercial terms: secure longer credit periods, better Incoterms, freight inclusion, lower MOQs and favourable
price-validity periods to protect margins and working capital.
Contracts: structure annual / quarterly rate contracts, volume-based discounts and price-variation clauses linked to
raw material indices; resist or delay supplier price increases.
Leverage: build alternate and dual sources (manufacturer vs distributor, domestic vs import) to create bargaining
power and avoid single-source dependency.
Imports: negotiate with overseas suppliers on price, payment (LC / advance / credit), lead time and shipping terms.
Claims and disputes: settle quality rejections, short supply, debit notes and replacements firmly while keeping
supplier relations healthy.
Track record: show measurable savings achieved in previous roles (e.g., % cost reduction, improved payment
terms); candidates will be assessed through a negotiation case / role-play during the interview.
