Procurement and Logistics Officer delivering compliant, cost-efficient sourcing and contract outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Procurement and Logistics professional with 6+ years experience in international NGO environments, advancing from Procurement Assistant to Procurement Officer. I develop and execute procurement strategies, source and engage reliable suppliers, and negotiate advantageous contract terms to deliver cost-efficient procurement outcomes.
I manage end-to-end procurement and supply chain operations with a strong focus on spend analysis, risk assessment, and donor compliance. In my current role, I run tendering procedures, quotation analyses, purchase order processing, and procurement reporting, using Kissflow Kprocure ERP and enforcing strict SOPs.
I also strengthen operational delivery through supplier/vendor management, contract enforcement, and logistics coordination. I’m currently completing my thesis for MSc in Procurement and Contract Management at JKUAT, with hands-on systems knowledge across Kissflow, InfoSun6, Agresso, and e-procurement workflows.
