What I'm looking for

I seek a procurement role where I can lead a team, optimise supplier relationships and deliver measurable cost savings while collaborating across functions and using ERP systems to drive efficiency.

I am a results-driven Procurement Team Leader with over 7 years' procurement experience across manufacturing and services.

I lead and mentor teams to deliver efficient sourcing, contract management, supplier negotiation and ERP-driven purchase order processes, having managed teams and procurement for multi-site operations.

I have driven cost optimization, KPI development and reporting, supplier performance measurement, and compliance (NDAs, customer approvals, LTAs), using systems such as SAP, Oracle, NAV and BC.

I collaborate with finance, operations, engineering and quality functions to resolve delivery and quality issues, support audits, and deliver measurable savings and continuous improvement.
