What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and challenges in contract management.

I am a dedicated Vendor Management Specialist at Merck Business Solutions Asia Inc., where I manage Contract Change Requests (CCRs) and ensure compliance with payment terms and total contract value. My role involves collaborating with global procurement teams to define sourcing strategies and providing guidance to business stakeholders on contract execution.

Previously, I served as a Contract Specialist at Manpower Outsourcing Services Inc., leading contract negotiations and establishing a comprehensive contract database. My experience includes handling the end-to-end process of contracts and purchase orders, ensuring accuracy and quality in all deliverables.

With a Bachelor of Science in Business Management, I possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, complemented by my ability to communicate effectively. I am committed to continuous growth and contributing positively to my team's success.
