I’m a Telecom Procurement Specialist delivering compliant, SLA-driven sourcing and governance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Telecom Procurement Specialist with 8+ years’ experience in the telecommunications sector, growing from internship and graduate trainee roles into a specialist position focused on telecom category sourcing and procurement governance.
In my current role at NetOne Cellular (Pvt) Ltd (Oct 2019 – Present), I lead end-to-end sourcing—RFP, RFI, and RFQ—covering vendor evaluation, contract negotiation, and SLA-based service delivery across telecom network operations and ICT environments.
I handle both active and passive telecom infrastructure procurement, including core network switches, fibre connectivity, microwave links, towers, and base station operations support, while aligning procurement strategies with operational, technical, and regulatory requirements.
I also strengthen procurement governance through policies and SOPs, Annual Procurement Plan development and monitoring, procurement risk assessments, audit responses, and preventive controls to mitigate bribery, fraud, and procurement irregularities—so service continuity and cost efficiency stay protected.
