What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic and results-oriented Procurement and Logistics Specialist with over four years of experience in strategic sourcing, vendor management, contract negotiation, and supply chain coordination. My expertise lies in optimizing procurement operations to drive cost savings, enhance supplier performance, and ensure seamless logistics management. I am currently expanding my skills with a certification in Project Management, which complements my strong background in procurement.
In my most recent role as a Procurement and Logistics Officer at Bianca Investments Ltd, I spearheaded procurement operations, successfully negotiating with vendors to ensure competitive pricing and compliance. I streamlined the supplier onboarding process, reducing procurement cycle times by 15%, and coordinated logistics schedules that improved on-time deliveries by 20%. My previous experience as a Procurement and Supply Chain Assistant at Zionat Multipurpose International Ltd further honed my skills in managing procurement processes and vendor relationships, achieving significant cost savings and compliance rates.
