What I'm looking for

I seek a procurement role where I can lead strategic sourcing, drive cost savings, optimize supplier relationships, and support cross-functional project delivery in a collaborative, process-driven environment.

I am a Senior Procurement Officer certified in CISCP and CISCM with strong experience managing procurement for civil and mechanical works, fitout projects, goods, and services across local and international markets.

I have a proven record of driving cost reduction—delivering almost 1 million QAR savings in 2024—and maintaining high procurement accuracy (90% in 2024) while optimizing cash flow through extended vendor credit terms.

My day-to-day strengths include sourcing, tender management, RFQ/RFP generation in ERP, technical and commercial evaluations, contract negotiation, vendor performance evaluation, logistics and inventory management, and close collaboration with finance.

I bring a strategic, detail-oriented approach, strong communication skills, and a proactive problem-solving mindset focused on timely, cost-effective delivery across complex procurement scopes.
