Procurement and supply chain specialist improving margins through strategic sourcing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a “Well-organized, dynamic, reliable, and versatile Procurement and Supply Chain Specialist” with 6+ years of experience across Procurement, Logistics (inbound and outbound), Imports, and warehousing in manufacturing, FMCG/consumer goods, retail, building & construction, and telecommunication environments.
In procurement roles, I focus on “Preparing annual budgets and consolidating procurement plans,” implementing procurement procedures/systems, running e-sourcing and tendering, and negotiating contract terms. I enforce transparency and accountability in procurement to drive “substantial cost reductions,” and I manage supplier evaluation/appraisal, vendor performance, and supplier relationship management.
In logistics and warehouse work, I deliver measurable service outcomes—achieving a “25% increase in customer fulfilment rate” at DHL through efficient transportation planning, and raising on-time order fill rate and delivery performance by “90%” through dispatch and allocation improvements. I’m also highly hands-on with systems such as Microsoft AX Dynamics, SAP, Purchase order management (POM), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), and TMS/tracking tools, and I aim to keep inventory accurate (e.g., “95%” accuracy) while minimizing stockouts, expiries, and operating costs.
