Results-driven Purchasing and Supply Specialist with procurement expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Purchasing and Supply Specialist with extensive experience in procurement, supply management, and inventory control. Over the years, I have honed my skills in negotiating favorable terms, streamlining procurement processes, and analyzing market trends to optimize supply chain operations. My goal is to leverage my expertise in sourcing cost reduction and process improvement to contribute to the efficiency and profitability of organizations while delivering high-quality service and innovative solutions.
In my recent role as a Stores Clerk at Ufulu Gardens Hotel, I assisted customers, managed inventory, and maintained a clean store environment. Prior to that, I worked as a Sales & Inventory Clerk at SFFRFM – Lilongwe, where I managed procurement processes, established relationships with suppliers, and conducted market research to identify new opportunities for cost reduction. My ability to analyze sales data and prepare reports on purchasing trends has been instrumental in implementing streamlined supply chain procedures that improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.
