What I'm looking for

I seek a procurement role where I can lead strategic sourcing, deliver measurable cost savings, improve processes, collaborate cross-functionally, and leverage ERP/data skills for scalable, compliant procurement operations.

I am a procurement and supply chain professional with 10+ years of experience delivering strategic sourcing, vendor management, and contract negotiation across IT, non-IT, and infrastructure sectors. I have a track record of driving measurable cost savings and improving procurement cycle times while maintaining compliance and strong vendor relationships.

In prior roles I led end-to-end procurement for large contract portfolios, negotiated supplier agreements that produced 8–12% cost savings, and reduced procurement turnaround times by 20% through structured RFP and PO management. I am proficient in ERP tools including SAP MM, Oracle, and Autotask, and I use data reporting (Excel, pivot tables) to guide sourcing decisions.

I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams including finance, construction, and operations to align procurement with project goals, oversee logistics and inventory, and ensure timely delivery and billing. I seek opportunities where I can apply my technical ERP skills and supplier-management expertise to deliver cost-effective, scalable procurement solutions.
