What I'm looking for

I am looking for a fully remote Procurement or Supply Chain role where I can use my 10+ years of experience in purchasing, supplier management and inventory control. I value flexibility, clear communication, a supportive team and opportunities for long-term growth.

I am a Procurement and Supply Chain professional with 10+ years of experience, primarily within the mining industry. My experience includes purchasing, supplier management, inventory control, stock management, procurement administration and coordinating the movement and availability of materials.

I hold a BCom in Marketing and Management Sciences and have worked across both procurement and education, giving me strong organisational, communication and problem-solving skills. I am comfortable working independently, managing multiple priorities and building effective supplier and stakeholder relationships.

I am particularly interested in remote Procurement, Supply Chain, Purchasing, Buyer and Inventory roles where I can use my experience while continuing to develop professionally. I enjoy structured, detail-oriented work, solving practical problems and finding ways to improve processes and efficiency.
