What I'm looking for

I seek procurement roles focused on strategic sourcing, supplier performance improvement, ERP-driven process optimization, and measurable cost savings within collaborative teams.

I am a procurement and purchasing specialist with over two years of hands-on experience in strategic sourcing, supplier performance optimization, and end-to-end procure-to-pay processes. I work effectively across functions to deliver process improvements and cost-conscious sourcing.

At Amer Sports Europe GmbH I independently developed sourcing strategies for multiple projects, managed contract closures with legal, and owned commodities from purchase order through vendor payment. I collaborate closely with sales, project managers, and controlling to keep projects on schedule.

In prior roles as a working student in procurement and supplier quality I handled RFIs/RFQs, supplier benchmarking, invoice clearance, KPI monitoring for 30 suppliers, and master data management in ERP systems. I contributed to process optimization initiatives and supported supplier audits and TCO/cost calculations.

I am proficient with SAP MM, Ariba, and multiple procurement tools, fluent in English, learning German (B1), and seeking opportunities where I can apply strategic sourcing skills, improve supplier performance, and support measurable cost savings.
