What I'm looking for

I seek a role in procurement or operations where I can drive cost efficiencies, manage imports and stock, and improve logistics processes within a collaborative team.

I am a results-driven procurement and operations specialist with extensive experience in logistics, costing, and import administration. My background includes hands-on roles in air freight control, import costing, and procurement across both local and international suppliers.

I have a proven track record of reducing costs through consolidation, negotiating with freight forwarders and suppliers, and accurately calculating landed costs and profitability using SAP. I bring operational discipline from coordinating shipments, managing stock levels, and ensuring timely deliveries.

My technical toolkit includes SAP, CargoWise, Xero, ShipShape systems, and advanced Microsoft Office skills, complemented by design work in Canva and strong administrative capabilities. I consistently maintain accurate systems, clear communication with stakeholders, and detailed reporting.

I thrive in collaborative environments where I can apply a sense of urgency, high organization, and a go-getter attitude to improve processes, deliver cost savings, and support operational teams to meet service commitments.
