01 /The company & the role

Materials are our craft.
Communication is yours.

Space Chemical is a Russian manufacturer of paints for wood and leather, polymer coatings, and epoxy resins. We are launching production in China; the legal entity is already registered.

You will be the primary link between our English-speaking leadership and the local suppliers, contractors, and employees. Their first language is Chinese; their English is limited or nonexistent.

Your remit is sourcing, negotiations, coordination, and follow-through on agreements. Technical decisions and final hiring calls stay with our specialists and leadership.

02 /The work

From first contact
to a working process.

Five workstreams to launch operations in Dongguan.

Production & warehouse

Find production and warehouse space that matches the requirements we give you. Talk to local contacts and gather the information leadership needs to decide.

Procurement & suppliers

Source raw materials, packaging, and equipment. Compare quotes, minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and delivery and payment terms. Negotiate, request samples and technical documentation, and track orders.

Supply adaptation

Work with our technologists to adapt sourcing to the materials and suppliers available in China. Gathering options and pinning down details is your job; judging technical fit is theirs.

The local team

Help recruit production and warehouse staff. Run first-round screening in Chinese against defined technical requirements and pass the results to leadership for the final decision.

Communication & coordination

Translate working correspondence and negotiations, record agreements, clarify statuses, and keep operational tasks moving between the team and our Chinese counterparts.

03 /Who we're looking for

The languages
that get deals done.

Chinese
Strong enough to run business negotiations with local partners on your own.
English
B2 and above — to communicate with leadership and hand over working details.
Russian
A plus.
Experience

You don't need to know it all on day one.

A background in procurement or supply chain is a plus, not a hard requirement. You don't need experience in every area listed: tell us which of these tasks you have already handled.

04 /Terms

A role at the launch stage.

Remote for now

Production, the warehouse, and day-to-day operations are based in Dongguan, China.

Full-time or part-time

Tell us which format works for you. For part-time, say how many hours a week you can commit.

In your application, state your expected income: a specific figure or a range, the currency, the period, and whether it is gross or net.

05 / Your next step

Let's
get acquainted.
