What I'm looking for

I am seeking a fast-paced role where I can apply logistics and marketing experience, work with a learning-focused team, and take on responsibilities that offer growth and measurable impact.

I am a logistics and marketing professional with broad experience across supply chain, field marketing and sales support in FMCG, retail and industrial sectors. I have served as a Logistics Officer representing my company to government mining regulators and coordinating materials, and previously led marketing initiatives for fire protection services and field merchandising roles.

My background includes formal training in business management, accounting and digital marketing, complemented by hands-on roles as a merchandiser, receiving clerk and sales clerk where I managed stock, sales recording and in-store merchandising for national brands. I have a proven ability to manage logistics, liaise with regulators and customers, and support commercial operations.

I bring attention to detail, strong communication skills in English and several local languages, and a commitment to continuous learning and growth. I am excited to contribute practical operational leadership and marketing execution to a fast-paced organization focused on scale and compliance.
