What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and professional growth.

I am a dedicated logistics, procurement, and administration professional with over 5 years of experience in managing supply chain operations for international non-governmental organizations (INGOs). My expertise lies in overseeing procurement processes, logistics operations, and administrative tasks, ensuring compliance with donor guidelines and organizational policies. I have a proven track record in fleet and asset management, staff training, and coordination during emergency situations, which has equipped me with the skills to handle complex procurement projects effectively.

Throughout my career, I have successfully collaborated with various UN donors and organizations, including ECHO, USAID, and DANIDA, to streamline procurement processes and enhance operational efficiency. My role as Area Procurement & Logistics Officer at Dan ChurchAid has allowed me to lead the procurement process, manage vendor relationships, and implement quality control measures to ensure that all procured goods and services meet the required standards. I am passionate about building strong partnerships and providing ongoing support to local NGOs to strengthen their supply chain management systems.

My commitment to excellence and continuous improvement drives me to seek innovative solutions to procurement challenges. I am currently pursuing an International Diploma in CIPS to further enhance my skills and knowledge in procurement and supply chain management. I am eager to contribute my expertise to an organization that values efficiency, transparency, and collaboration in its operations.
