Market Intelligence & Purchasing Specialist

About this opportunity

We are looking for a commercially driven textile professional — not simply a purchasing officer. The ideal candidate should understand the Saudi textile market, monitor competitor activity, identify market trends, and convert market intelligence into profitable purchasing decisions. Key Responsibilities • Monitor textile market trends, customer demand and seasonal requirements. • Conduct competitor research on products, pricing, quality and market positioning. • Identify new fabrics, products and market opportunities. • Recommend what to buy, when to buy, how much to buy and from which suppliers. • Source and evaluate local and international suppliers and negotiate prices and terms. • Compare supplier quotations and landed costs. • Analyse sales and inventory data to support purchasing decisions. • Identify fast-moving, slow-moving and potential dead-stock items. • Support product pricing and gross-margin analysis. • Prepare regular market, competitor and purchasing reports for management.
