Alejandra Maravilla
@alejandramaravilla
I am a strategic sourcing and supply chain professional delivering cost savings and procurement excellence.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven procurement and operations specialist with 10+ years of experience in supply chain management, strategic sourcing, and vendor contract negotiation. I specialize in end-to-end sourcing processes, MSA and SOW drafting and redlining, and cross-functional stakeholder collaboration.
I have delivered measurable savings — including $600K by eliminating redundant vendor contracts and $40K annually through SKU portfolio optimization — and led procurement of AI translation services projected to save $50K by 2026. I build and maintain spend and compliance dashboards in Oracle and Zip and partner closely with Legal, Finance, InfoSec, and Compliance to mitigate risk.
I bring hands-on experience with SAP MM, Oracle, Zip, RFx, KPI reporting, GMP/HACCP/TPM manufacturing practices, and supplier quality initiatives. Bilingual in Spanish and English, I thrive in collaborative, compliance-focused environments where I can drive cost optimization and operational efficiency.
