Milani Cosmetics is seeking a driven, detail-oriented

Global Procurement Operations Manager

to oversee global purchasing and supplier operations across our component and finished goods vendor network.

This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role that ensures our supply base runs efficiently and cost‑effectively. You’ll play a critical part in delivering accurate, on‑time, and compliant materials that support our fast‑paced innovation pipeline and global growth.

The ideal candidate is a strong communicator and analytical problem solver who thrives in cross‑functional collaboration—partnering with teams across Project Management, Supply Planning, Packaging/PD, Quality, Logistics, and Finance/AP to drive service, cost, and compliance excellence.

This position does not lead supplier selection or contract negotiations. It provides analytics, documentation, and operational execution that support strategic sourcing decisions and initiatives.

Responsibilities Procurement & PO Operations

Maintain vendor master price lists and ensure all POs reflect accurate pricing, quantities, lead times, commit dates, and Incoterms

Conduct weekly open‑order reviews and drive supplier commitment updates

Manage 3‑way match integrity (PO/receipt/invoice) and resolve discrepancies promptly with AP and suppliers

PPV, Chargebacks & Cost Control

Monitor and analyze purchase price variances (PPVs) versus standards; identify cost drivers and publish regular dashboards

Execute vendor chargebacks per policy (e.g., late shipments, labelling errors, quality issues) and maintain auditable documentation

Supplier Documentation & Compliance

Collect, track, and renew required supplier compliance documents (e.g., SDS/CoA, IFRA/INCI, REACH, Prop 65, FSC/PEFC, ethical‑sourcing declarations)

Maintain vendor and item master data (pricing tiers, MOQs, lead times, pack sizes); initiate change control when costs or specs change

Specifications & Change Control

Support the review and routing of specifications, drawings, artwork, BOMs, and vendor change notifications; ensure suppliers work to the latest approved revisions

Tariff & Trade Compliance

Monitor and interpret tariff and trade actions (HTS updates, Section 301/232, AD/CVD) and maintain SKU‑level exposure tracking

Govern HTS classification for components and finished goods; ensure accurate country‑of‑origin and substantial transformation documentation

Build landed‑cost models and propose duty mitigation strategies (e.g., supplier/geography shifts, FTA qualification, tariff engineering)

Coordinate FTA documentation (e.g., USMCA, KORUS, CAFTA) and maintain audit‑ready records

Partner with brokers/forwarders on customs entry accuracy and post‑summary corrections (PSCs)

Support evaluation and rollout of programs such as duty drawback, bonded/FTZ, and reconciliation where applicable

Prepare reports for leadership on tariff exposure, savings, and compliance risk

Freight & Inbound Logistics

Optimize inbound freight for components and finished goods to reduce landed cost and dwell time

Monitor and improve freight spend, container utilization, and demurrage/detention rates

Partner with Logistics to identify and implement process improvements in inbound operations

Cross‑Functional & Strategic Support

Partner with the Sr. Director of Project Management, Director of Supply Planning, and Warehouse Manager on cost‑saving initiatives (supplier rationalization, MOQ resets, pack redesign)

Provide risk visibility related to capacity, lead times, and geopolitical factors

Support new product development (NPD) launches with timely material readiness and first‑article builds

Systems, Reporting & Continuous Improvement

Build and maintain operational dashboards (PPV, PO adherence, supplier OTIF, invoice discrepancies, freight cost)

Develop and maintain SOPs for PO lifecycle management, discrepancy resolution, and compliance documentation

Drive ERP/MRP data integrity and champion process automation

Requirements

Minimum of 5 years of experience in procurement operations or sourcing execution (CPG, beauty, or personal care preferred; color cosmetics a plus)

Bachelor’s degree in supply chain management or a related quantitative field

Strong expertise in PO management, 3‑way match, PPV analysis, chargebacks, landed cost, and Incoterms

Knowledge of import compliance and trade regulations

Proficient in ERP/MRP systems (Sage/Netstock preferred) and Excel (pivot tables, lookups, cost modeling)

Highly organized, analytical, and proactive; able to thrive in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment

Excellent communication, follow‑up, and cross‑functional collaboration skills

Strong integrity, accountability, and work ethic

Benefits

Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
