I lead Cooking Gift Set Co. as CEO. We're a design-led cooking, food and kitchen brand, founded in 2016. My edge is product development - introducing new, design-forward products to the market. My background is in design and I personally lead product validation and design.
My biggest goal over the next 12 months is to accelerate product launches: we managed 4 new products this past year and I want to hit 15 next year. Launching more products is the number one lever for growth. The biggest challenge in the way is the sourcing bottleneck - chasing suppliers, getting NNNs signed, hitting cost sheet targets and sample quality. Roughly 10 product ideas were attempted this year and only 4 made it through. I'm based in Bangkok and I'm happy working with remote team members.
We're looking for a Product Sourcing Specialist. You'll take ownership of the sourcing side of new product development so we can dramatically increase the number of products we launch each year. You're a self-directed sourcing professional who can turn product briefs into launched products - someone who wants to crank these out and takes pride in owning their part of the process.
Take product specs, mockups and design briefs from the founder and run with them to find suitable suppliers
Identify and approach 5-6 potential suppliers per product, get them to sign NNNs, and get quotes
Negotiate with suppliers on pricing, MOQs, lead times, samples and production
Manage back-and-forth conversations with suppliers on design/component options and check in with the founder on decisions
Plug into the company's existing unit economics framework (HTS codes, cost sheets, ocean freight, etc.) to validate viability
Drive products through until they are checked into FBA in the US (the definition of a 'launch')
You'll need at least 3-4 hours of overlap with Bangkok (ICT) afternoons, roughly 1pm-5pm Bangkok time. Likely you'll start earlier in your day (around 8am your time) to catch the founder's afternoon.
Requirements
To be successful in this role, you need:
Sourcing background - understands MOQs, supplier negotiation, lead times, production, ocean freight
Baseline understanding of unit economics (cost sheets, HTS codes, etc.)
Experience sourcing from China (main focus; some Vietnam experience a plus but not required)
Experience with exporting shelf stable food and compliance requirements
Brownie points for:
⭐ A bit of a 'design eye' / attention to detail, since work is based off product mockups and images
The ideal candidate has a hungry, driven, hustler mindset - someone who wants to crank these out and takes pride and ownership of their part of the process. Accountability and self-direction matter here: the founder doesn't want to micromanage and dislikes problems being bounced back without investigation. Direct communication is valued (Eastern European style directness is a plus); emotionally avoidant candidates are a turn-off. You can think alongside the founder, not just execute.
