What I'm looking for

I seek a procurement or supply chain role where I can lead sourcing and vendor management, drive cost savings, improve processes, and collaborate cross-functionally for operational impact.

I am a results-driven procurement and supply chain specialist with over five years' experience across education, e-commerce, and manufacturing sectors. I focus on strategic sourcing, vendor management, and procurement process optimization to deliver measurable cost savings.

At A.C Harmony Sanitary I negotiated contracts with 10+ suppliers and reduced procurement expenditure by 25% within three months while implementing inventory controls that eliminated stockouts. I have expanded supplier bases and introduced new product lines to support asset and product growth.

Previously, I managed 30+ active vendors, established vendor rating systems, and reduced procurement cycle times through improved cross-functional coordination. I also served as Procurement/Administrative Officer ensuring 100% stock availability for critical supplies and standardizing recordkeeping for audit compliance.

I combine strong negotiation, analytical, and communication skills with ERP and inventory tool experience to drive efficiency, reduce costs (20–30% documented), and improve on-time delivery and supplier accountability. I seek roles where I can lead procurement improvements and build sustainable supplier partnerships.
