What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead procurement end-to-end—managing tenders, TORs, ERP workflows, and supplier relationships—while building teams for donor-compliant, transparent, cost-efficient, audit-ready procurement delivery.

I’m a procurement and supply chain professional with over 10 years’ experience in INGOs and national organizations. I’ve built procurement policies, standard operating procedures, and donor compliant manuals, and I’m known for designing procurement templates, supplier databases, and managing high-value tenders with full donor regulation compliance.

Across roles from Procurement Officer to Acting Supply Chain Manager and Procurement Section Head, I’ve strengthened procurement systems for transparency, cost efficiency, and audit readiness. I lead market research, develop procurement specifications and TORs, manage contract and vendor negotiations, and deliver capacity building and training for staff and partners—ensuring procurement planning, reporting, and documentation are consistently audit-ready.
