Market Intelligence & Purchasing Specialist

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.
