IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Mechanical engineer and Certified Supply Chain Analyst (CSCA) with nearly two years of experience at Accenture, where I managed procurement, vendor coordination, and inventory planning for global clients across Asia Pacific and Europe.
In my role as a Supply Chain Operations Associate (Orange Business Services account), I managed the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for clients including Kering, Gucci, Hermès, Walmart (China), Volvo, Siemens, and TikTok—coordinating with vendors on material availability, timelines, and fulfillment to minimize supply disruptions.
I also built forward-looking inventory plans aligned with lead times and deployment schedules, handled international dispatches (customs coordination, delivery tracking, RTW processes, and cancellation handling), and managed 150+ chassis deliveries within a strict 5-business-day SLA window. I raised and maintained PRs/POs, performed quote comparisons and vendor performance evaluations against SLAs, and delivered onboarding and training on procurement systems and workflows.
