I'm seeking a Procurement/Supply Chain role at an international organization where structured processes and analytical rigor are valued, so I can drive compliant sourcing, supplier resilience, and measurable cost improvements. I'm particularly interested in serving as a local representative or in-country coordinator for companies sourcing from or operating in Vietnam.

What I'm looking for
I’m a Procurement & supply chain specialist with 13+ years of experience across Oil & Gas, Research & Development, and High-Tech Agriculture. I’ve built procurement systems that turn informal purchasing into structured workflows, with a consistent focus on measurable cost reduction and dependable supplier performance.
In my most recent role, I managed annual procurement spend of approximately VND 20 billion and oversaw a portfolio of 50+ suppliers to maintain quality compliance with NOP (USDA) and JAS organic standards. I designed and implemented end-to-end procurement processes, established team protocols, and delivered an average cost reduction of about 20% versus initial purchasing estimates.
Earlier, as a Procurement Executive at Vietnam Petroleum Institute, I managed procurement for laboratory chemicals, analytical instruments, consulting services, and facility operations, and I resolved long-pending projects by restructuring bidding documentation in compliance with Vietnam’s Bidding Law. I also led sourcing and contract preparation for high-complexity categories (including international suppliers), consistently achieving procurement savings of 10–15% below approved budgets while preparing compliant bidding packages and managing ISO 9001/ISO 17025 documentation and audits.
