What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a procurement-focused role where I can own end-to-end strategic sourcing, vendor/subcontractor management, documentation compliance, and cost optimization—supporting timely delivery across complex projects and multi-entity operations.

I’m a procurement and administrative professional with 9+ years of experience across construction and multi-entity environments in Qatar and Sri Lanka. I lead end-to-end procurement—from sourcing and negotiation to vendor and subcontractor management—while ensuring administrative operations, documentation control, and policy compliance.

I’ve delivered measurable results, including reducing operational delays by 10% and achieving average cost savings of 8%. I also mentor cross-functional teams and coordinate closely with finance and project stakeholders to support on-time project delivery. Alongside my core procurement work, I provide translation (English ↔ Sinhala/Tamil), SEO-focused web content, creative writing, and market research/client coordination on a project basis.
