What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior procurement role where I can drive strategic sourcing, contract negotiation, and measurable savings—partnering with stakeholders to improve supplier performance and customer service through disciplined process improvement and ERP-led execution.

I’m a commercially astute procurement professional with 10+ years spanning strategic sourcing, contract negotiation, and end-to-end supplier and stakeholder relationship management. I focus on resolving complex issues quickly, improving service delivery, and translating commercial intent into measurable outcomes.

As a Senior Buyer at Supply Point Systems, I manage made-to-design procurement using CAD and technical specifications, deliver disciplined contract negotiations, and act as an escalation point for supplier performance. Previously at National Grid, I supported a £20 million project pipeline and helped drive category strategies across IT, HR, Legal, Tax, and Change Management through Master Framework Agreements, eRFx/eAuctions, and SLA performance tracking—plus I’ve delivered £110,000 in verified savings on an £800,000 spend base in food manufacturing.

Earlier in my career at Mainone Cable Company, I owned end-to-end procurement and logistics for a telecoms infrastructure portfolio, including import documentation, customs clearance coordination, and supplier evaluations to ensure continuity of supply. I’m also progressing with CIPS Level 4 while leveraging ERP platforms such as Coupa, Ariba, SAP, Oracle, Navision, and Syspro.
