ZING is seeking an experienced International Fragrance Sourcing Manager (Consultant) for a highly visible, long-term consulting opportunity.
This is not a traditional procurement role. We are looking for someone who already knows how to navigate the international fragrance marketplace, including gray-market and parallel-import channels, global wholesalers and exporters, product authenticity, customs documentation, and international supplier negotiations.
Reporting directly to executive leadership, you will have the opportunity to help build and shape a global sourcing strategy for authentic, full-size fragrance products.
If you already have relationships within the international fragrance or beauty supply chain, particularly across Dubai/UAE, Europe, or Singapore, we want to hear from you.
Build and manage a global network of wholesalers, distributors, exporters, and other international suppliers
Source authentic fragrance products through gray-market and parallel-import distribution channels
Identify and develop new international sourcing opportunities
Negotiate pricing, payment terms, minimum order quantities (MOQs), purchasing terms, and supplier agreements
Evaluate supplier legitimacy and perform product authenticity verification
Review customs records, trade data, bills of lading, and import/export documentation
Manage and strengthen relationships with international suppliers and distributors
Partner with Purchasing, Quality, Legal, and Operations teams to support sourcing initiatives
Navigate trademark, import, trade compliance, and parallel-market considerations for consumer products
Travel internationally as needed to develop supplier relationships and support sourcing initiatives
5+ years of experience in international sourcing, procurement, supply chain, strategic purchasing, or a related function
Direct experience with gray-market and/or parallel-import sourcing
Proven experience building and managing relationships with international wholesalers, distributors, and exporters
Experience negotiating international supplier agreements, pricing, payment terms, and MOQs
Hands-on experience with import/export documentation, customs records, bills of lading, and trade data
Strong supplier qualification, due diligence, and authenticity verification experience
Working knowledge of trademark, import, and parallel-market considerations related to consumer goods
Ability and willingness to travel internationally when required
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States
Visa sponsorship is not available for this position
Experience within one or more of the following industries is strongly preferred:
Existing sourcing relationships or market experience in Dubai/UAE, Europe, or Singapore is highly attractive.
This is an opportunity to do more than manage an existing supplier list. You'll have the chance to build and shape an international sourcing network, leverage your existing industry relationships, and play a key role in a long-term global procurement strategy.
You'll work remotely with a flexible schedule, have direct exposure to executive leadership, and take ownership of sourcing initiatives with significant business impact.
Think global sourcing, fragrance expertise, and serious supplier-network building. If you know the international fragrance market and understand how parallel-market procurement really works, we'd love to connect.
