Role you're checking

Procurement Manager

Operations

Procurement Managers own the strategic sourcing and commercial governance of a company's external spend — from raw materials and capital equipment to third-party services and MRO (maintenance, repair, operations) consumables. In India, the role is the nerve centre of category-level buying at HUL, ITC, Nestle, RIL, Tata Steel, Bharti Airtel, GE India, Honeywell India, and the Adani and Mahindra group companies, where a single category manager can govern ₹200-2,000 Cr of annual spend. Day-to-day means running structured RFI/RFP/RFQ cycles, applying Kraljic-matrix categorisation to prioritise strategic sourcing effort, negotiating multi-year framework agreements, tracking supplier OTIF and defect rates on SLA scorecards, and reporting savings against budget to the CFO. The CIPS (Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply) qualification and an MBA in Operations or Supply Chain are the premium credentials; B.Tech + domain experience is the most common entry path for manufacturing and infrastructure sectors.
