What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior procurement leadership opportunities, including Procurement Manager, Sourcing Lead, or Category Manager roles, with full-time or part-time remote options. I'm open to relocation across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Europe, and India.

At Bangladesh Steel Rolling Mills, I lead end-to-end procurement for rolling mill spares and bulk raw materials, including Sponge Iron and Silico Manganese, supporting Bangladesh steel plants from the Kolkata branch office.

I've delivered a USD 5.15 million cumulative procurement portfolio across FY21–FY25 and achieved 56% year-over-year growth in FY2024–25. I manage a 570+ vendor network across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, crane, and plant consumable categories while driving benchmarking, negotiations, ERP purchase-order workflows, and supplier performance.

I bring 19+ years across procurement, international sourcing, export operations, logistics, quality coordination, and supplier development. I use Oracle Cloud, Focus ERP, Excel, and AI-assisted research and analysis tools to improve sourcing decisions, documentation, and turnaround time.
