Procurement Manager

Company: Project Authority

Location: Bangalore (On-site)

Experience: 3+ Years in Interior Procurement

Role Type: Full-time

About the Role

At Project Authority, we are the BRAIN behind smooth execution. In a fast-paced market like Bangalore, procurement isn't just about placing orders; it’s about managing a complex web of vendors, logistics, and on-site realities. We are looking for a high-energy Procurement Manager to own the entire supply chain from initial sourcing to the final "Quality Check" on-site.

Core Responsibilities

Local Vendor Ecosystem: Leverage and expand our network of Bangalore-based vendors (Carpentry, MEP, Civil, Stone, and bespoke Furniture). You must know who the best players are in the city for high-end commercial finishes.

Aggressive Negotiation: Manage and negotiate contracts with 10+ vendors per project. Your goal is to secure premium quality at the most competitive rates while ensuring strict credit terms.

On-Site Material Coordination: This is not a desk job. You will be on-site in Bangalore to oversee material deliveries, verify quantities, and ensure that what was ordered is exactly what was delivered.

FF&E & OS&E Specialist: Manage the procurement of high-end Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment. You will ensure all items align with brand standards (especially for hospitality/commercial clients) and technical GFC drawings.

Lead-Time Management: Create and maintain a "Procurement Tracker" to ensure long-lead items (like custom lighting or imported marbles) arrive exactly when the site team is ready for them—preventing costly idle time.

Quality & Compliance: Conduct factory visits and workshop audits across Bangalore's industrial hubs to ensure production is on track and matches the approved samples.

What We’re Looking For

Experience: 3+ years of solid experience in Interior Procurement, specifically within the Indian market. You should have a proven track record in commercial or premium residential projects.

Negotiation Power: You are a "firm but fair" communicator who knows how to hold vendors accountable to both quality and timelines.

Technical Knowledge: You must understand material specifications (e.g., MDF vs. Plywood grades, types of veneers, hardware brands, and commercial lighting specs) to ensure we aren't overcharged for subpar materials.

Logistics Expertise: Knowledge of Bangalore’s local logistics, entry permits, and site delivery constraints is essential.

Software: Advanced MS Excel skills for budget tracking and proficiency in project management tools.

Why Project Authority?

Leadership Opportunity: You will be the point person for all procurement in one of India's most active interior markets.

Professional Standards: We bring disciplined, international project management standards to the local execution level.
