What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a procurement/strategic sourcing role where I can manage MRO and indirect spend, negotiate pricing and contract terms, and keep plant supply reliable and compliant—even on short notice.

I’m a procurement specialist with over 20 years buying MRO and indirect materials for North American manufacturing plants. My strength is sourcing spare parts, industrial supplies, construction materials, and facility services while negotiating directly with distributors and OEM suppliers to keep plants running and costs in check.

In my current role, I run a high-volume B2B procurement desk, turning around quotes for plant sites across North America. I compare suppliers by price, lead time, and service level, negotiate contract terms, track supplier performance (on-time delivery, fill rates, quality), and step in early when supply risk appears—using SAP Ariba and Microsoft Business Central daily to manage requisitions and POs.

Previously, I served as a delegated buyer for Ford Motor Company’s indirect procurement, handling construction materials, contracted services, and forklift spare parts under Ford’s procurement rules. I built commodity strategy using preferred supplier lists and sourcing frameworks, kept PO records audit-ready, and partnered with accounts payable to resolve invoice issues—backed by years of hands-on MRO and operations support.
