About factori.com
Welcome to factori.com — The Factory for the World.
factori.com is a global manufacturing and commerce platform that connects 500+ partner manufacturers across India with business buyers, brands, institutions, and entrepreneurs worldwide. Our vision is to onboard 100,000+ manufacturers globally by 2030.
One of our three core offerings is retailing.factori.com — a plug-and-play platform that lets any entrepreneur launch their own e-commerce store in 30 minutes, on their own domain, with instant access to thousands of ready-to-ship products.
Our customers include Amazon, Apollo Hospitals, Asian Paints, Bharat Petroleum, Cult Fit, Decathlon, Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard, ISRO, Jio-bp, JSW, L&T Finance, Microsoft Learn, PhonePe, Samsung, Suzuki, Tata Capital, Tata Motors, UltraTech, Wipro — and hundreds more.
About the role
We're building the manufacturer and brand base that powers factori.com's platforms — and that means doing, at scale, exactly what you've already done somewhere else: finding the right manufacturers and brands, getting them onboarded, getting their products correctly listed, and then keeping their inventory live and accurate so nothing sells that isn't actually in stock.
We're specifically looking for people who've done this inside a modern retail or quick-commerce environment — DMart, Reliance Trends, Printo, Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, or a comparable platform — because that's the exact skill set this role needs: sourcing and onboarding a manufacturer or brand, negotiating the commercials, pushing their catalogue live, and then owning the inventory discipline that keeps the listing trustworthy. If you've done the full loop — onboard, list, stock — end-to-end, this role is built around that experience.
What you'll own1. Manufacturer & Brand Onboarding
- Identify and approach manufacturers and brands relevant to your category, and take them from first conversation to fully onboarded partner.
- Negotiate commercial terms, pricing, and MOQ in line with factori.com's guidelines.
- Own the onboarding paperwork and process end-to-end — nothing sits half-done in your queue.
2. Catalogue & Listing
- Get every onboarded partner's products listed correctly — with accurate descriptions, images, pricing, and category tagging.
- Coordinate with partners to fix listing gaps fast; a partner going live with a broken or incomplete catalogue is a failure of this role, not theirs.
3. Inventory Management
- Own inventory accuracy for your category — stock levels reflect reality, not last week.
- Coordinate with partners and internal ops to prevent stockouts and overselling, and to keep replenishment moving.
4. Category Growth
- Track category-level performance — partner count, catalogue depth, stock availability, sell-through — and act on what the numbers tell you.
- Bring back the manufacturers and brands your category is missing, not just the ones that come to you.
What we're looking forMust-have
- Direct, hands-on experience onboarding manufacturers/brands onto a retail or quick-commerce platform — DMart, Reliance Trends, Printo, Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, or a genuinely comparable platform. This is the core requirement, not a nice-to-have.
- Experience taking a partner from onboarding through to live listing through to managed inventory — the full loop, not just one piece of it.
- Strong negotiation skills — commercials, pricing, MOQ.
- Comfort with catalogue/listing tools and inventory systems.
- High attention to detail — a wrong price or a phantom stock count is a customer-facing failure.
- Ownership — you chase partners, you don't wait for them to chase you.
Nice-to-have
- Category-specific expertise in apparel, FMCG, home & living, or general merchandise.
- Experience with vendor management or catalogue systems (any modern retail/e-commerce backend).
- Prior exposure to a B2B or contract manufacturing environment.
Mindset we hire for
- You treat "onboarded" as step one, not the finish line — listing and inventory are your job too.
- You'd rather chase down a missing SKU image today than explain a lost sale next week.
- You build relationships with manufacturers that last past the first order.
What you get
- Reports to Manager, Category Management — real ownership of your category from day one.
- A platform built specifically to connect manufacturers and brands to buyers at scale — your onboarding work compounds.
- Direct exposure to how factori.com's manufacturer network and retailing platform actually run.
