I am a results-driven procurement officer with over 10 years of experience in sourcing and negotiating contracts with suppliers. Throughout my career, I have been skilled in cost analysis, vendor management, and inventory control, which has allowed me to achieve annual cost savings of 10% for my previous organization. I am now seeking a challenging procurement role where I can utilize my expertise in optimizing procurement processes and driving cost savings for the organization. I am highly motivated and aim to contribute to the success of a dynamic and forward-thinking company.
In my current role as a Procurement Officer at Kenyatta University, I have successfully negotiated contracts with suppliers, resulting in significant cost savings. I have also conducted market research and vendor evaluations to identify new procurement opportunities. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, I ensure the timely delivery of goods, works, and services. Additionally, I am responsible for preparing RFQs, soliciting bids, and evaluating tender documents. I have also compiled reports for various programs and prepared the annual procurement plan.
Prior to my role as a Procurement Officer, I worked as a Stores Assistant at Kenyatta University. In this position, I managed inventory levels, conducted regular stock checks, and re-ordered supplies as needed. I also assisted in receiving and inspecting incoming shipments, maintaining a clean and organized store environment.
