ABOUT US:
Azista Industries Private Limited is a fast-growing, highly diversified technology and manufacturing conglomerate. We pride ourselves on driving "Innovation for Simplicity" across three primary, cutting-edge verticals: Healthcare/Pharmaceuticals, Aerospace, and Food Technology. From developing life-saving pharmaceutical drugs and global health products to building advanced satellite components and space-borne systems, Azista is dedicated to solving complex problems that improve lives. With world-class R&D labs and a flat, collaborative startup environment, we empower our team members to think differently, challenge the status quo, and build careers that span across industries.
JOB SUMMARY:
Azista Industries is seeking an experienced Assistant General Manager (AGM) – Purchase & Sourcing to steer our global strategic procurement and supply chain functions. Unlike traditional bulk API or chemical raw material purchasing, this executive role centers on Pharma Formulations, Finished Dosage Forms (FDF), CDMO/CMO partner management, and Technology Transfer projects, while providing strategic sourcing governance across our deep-tech engineering operations.
As a strategic leader, you will own the end-to-end lifecycle of contract manufacturing partnerships—from global vendor qualification and dossier acquisitions to commercial contract negotiation and regulatory compliance across US FDA, EU GMP, and WHO GMP standards. You will bridge the gap between R&D, Regulatory Affairs, QA, and commercial teams to ensure seamless product launches and uncompromised supply chain resilience.
In this role, you will hold direct accountability for critical supply chain performance metrics, including Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), On-Time In-Full (OTIF) delivery, Purchase Price Variance (PPV), vendor risk mitigation, and batch-release lead times.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Lead CDMO & Formulation Sourcing: Drive global sourcing strategies for Finished Dosage Forms (tablets, capsules, injectables, topicals) and onboard top-tier Contract Development & Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs/CMOs).
- Execute Tech Transfers & In-Licensing: Oversee commercial execution for Technology Transfer projects, dossier purchases, and co-development sourcing agreements in tandem with R&D and Regulatory Affairs.
- Negotiate High-Value Contracts: Structure, draft, and finalize Master Services Agreements (MSA), Quality Agreements (QAA), and Long-Term Agreements (LTAs) with external manufacturing partners.
- Drive Quality & Regulatory Compliance: Enforce strict procurement adherence to global regulatory frameworks, including cGMP, US FDA, EU GMP, ISO 13485, and AS9100.
- Cross-Vertical Sourcing Governance: Manage strategic procurement for CAPEX, specialized tooling, and indirect materials supporting aerospace and deep-tech manufacturing verticals.
- Optimize TCO & Supply Chain Analytics: Leverage ERP tools (SAP S/4HANA / Oracle SCM) to optimize inventory turnover, reduce lead times, and deliver sustainable cost savings without compromising quality.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR?
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy (B.Pharm), Chemical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related field. MBA in Supply Chain/Operations is strongly preferred.
- Experience: 12+ years of progressive leadership in Procurement or Strategic Sourcing, with at least 3–5 years leading teams in pharmaceutical sourcing.
- Domain Expertise: Proven track record in Pharma Formulations sourcing, CDMO/CMO partner selection, Finished Dosage Forms (FDF), and Tech Transfer procurement.
- Contract Management: Hands-on mastery of negotiating complex commercial supply contracts, Quality Agreements, and dossier licensing terms.
- Systems & Regulatory Knowledge: Deep proficiency in SAP MM / S/4HANA or Oracle SCM, coupled with a strong command of cGMP, US FDA, EU GMP, and dossier documentation (DMFs, COAs).
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Professional certifications such as CIPS, APICS (CSCP/CPIM), or CPSM.
- Experience operating within multi-vertical environments spanning both Life Sciences and Precision Engineering.
- Demonstrated history of successfully navigating global out-licensing negotiations and multi-region vendor risk management.
