Buyer - Sourcing & Development (Proprietary) role at Hero MotoCorp in Jaipur, Rajasthan. This is a full-time, on-site position at the company's R&D centre.

The listing was posted on 22 Oct 2026 on Hero MotoCorp's careers site, in the Procurement function.

About Hero MotoCorp

Hero MotoCorp describes itself on its careers site as the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, a position it has held for 25 consecutive years, with about 130 million customers across 52 countries. Its global R&D hub, the Centre of Innovation and Technology (CIT), is in Jaipur, and that is where this role sits.

The role in plain terms

This is technical sourcing for electrical proprietary parts and lamps: you develop and settle new parts with suppliers, manage motorcycle projects to cost, timeline and quality targets, and choose makers based on technology and lead time. The day-to-day is a mix of costing (budget and prototype POs), weekly development reviews with R&D and suppliers, negotiating mass-production costs within 2% of budget, BOM management and tracking competitor and technology benchmarks.

What the employer asks for

These requirements are quoted or closely condensed from the employer's listing so the details are not distorted:

BE / B.Tech.
5-8 years of relevant experience.
Expertise in the proprietary parts process and the electrical supplier base.
Deep understanding of the end-to-end part development process.
Ability to manage complex model event timelines and project MIS.
Strong commercial skills for budget costing and supplier settlements.
Knowledge of upcoming technology trends, government policies and impact analysis.

Who this role suits

This suits a sourcing or procurement engineer who already knows the two-wheeler electrical supplier landscape and enjoys the commercial side of part development: cost settlement within a 2% variance target is a precise, measurable accountability, so it fits someone who has negotiated production costs before. The 5-8 year bar is stated, and the role is technical enough that pure-commercial profiles without part-development exposure will struggle.

Practical notes

The listing names an internal pay band (E4 to M2) rather than a salary figure. Expect costing questions with real numbers: how you built a should-cost estimate, a settlement you closed and the variance you achieved. Knowing current raw-material trends for electrical parts, and a couple of VA/VE ideas you have implemented, is the most useful preparation.
