Procurement & Sourcing Specialist with 6+ years of experience in international procurement, supplier sourcing, factory verification, price negotiatio
What I'm looking for
My main expertise is finding and qualifying reliable suppliers, especially in China, requesting and comparing quotations, negotiating prices and MOQs, coordinating samples and production, monitoring quality and delivery, and supporting international shipments and customs processes. I have worked with a wide range of product categories, including industrial equipment, machinery, raw materials, electronics, home goods, sports products, café equipment, and consumer products.
I have completed 300+ sourcing and procurement projects for international clients and have experience managing significant procurement volumes. In different projects, I have achieved cost reductions of approximately 5–25% through supplier competition, negotiation, MOQ optimization, and better purchasing conditions.
I am highly detail-oriented and comfortable working with spreadsheets, online marketplaces, supplier databases, WeChat, Alibaba, 1688, and AI tools. I actively use AI tools to research information, analyze data, improve workflows, and increase productivity.
I am currently interested in remote positions such as Procurement Specialist, Buyer, Sourcing Specialist, Purchasing Coordinator, Procurement Coordinator, and Supply Chain Specialist. I am particularly interested in companies working with international suppliers, e-commerce, consumer products, manufacturing, industrial equipment, and global supply chains.
I am looking for a long-term remote opportunity where I can contribute my practical procurement and sourcing experience while continuing to develop my skills in international business and modern AI-assisted workflows.
