Cosmetics Vendor Sourcing & Ops Support

You’ll step in as my part-time project manager and operations arm, dedicating about 10–15 hours each week to keep our young cosmetics brand in India moving. Most of your energy will go into vendor sourcing—identifying and vetting manufacturers, packaging suppliers, and design agencies that fit our quality, MOQ, cost, and timeline targets.

Alongside the hunt, you’ll chase follow-ups, keep timelines realistic, and maintain a single source-of-truth tracker in Google Sheets / Excel. Every document that matters—trademark filings, compliance certificates, manufacturing contracts, box dielines, test reports—needs to live in the right folder with version control and clear naming, so the whole team can grab what they need instantly. Fast, proactive communication is crucial; unanswered messages stall launches.

Weekly rhythm
• Update the master tracker with status, next actions, and risks
• Deliver a concise shortlist sheet for any newly scouted vendors, showing comparisons and your recommendation
• Send a one-page plan for the upcoming week so we’re aligned before Monday morning

Acceptance criteria
• Tracker and folders are always current and shareable without clarification
• At least three qualified options presented for each vendor category requested that week
• All dates in the tracker match reality, with slippage called out and a mitigation noted

If spreadsheets are your second language and you enjoy orchestrating multiple suppliers until everything lands on schedule, you’ll thrive here. I’ll be available on WhatsApp and email for quick decisions, and I expect the same responsiveness in return.
