Procurement professional with 4+ years in stock control, inventory management, and supplier negotiation in healthcare.
What I'm looking for
I’m a procurement professional with over 4 years of experience in the Procurement and stock control environment. My focus is on keeping stock levels accurate and ensuring operations have what they need to run smoothly.
At Dellomed Pharmacy at Johannesburg Surgical hospital, I handled procurement day-to-day by ordering stock, checking stock levels against hospital needs, running weekly cycle counts, and picking stock for the hospital. Previously, as a Surgicals Manager at Louis Pasteur hospital, I checked stock levels, drafted the daily roster, ensured the surgical department ran smoothly, and maintained company stock levels to meet demand.
I’ve also built strong operational and control skills through my work at Mmed Distribution as a Stock Controller—maintaining reports of purchases and prices, ordering additional stock, overseeing shipments and internal stock transfer, and replenishing stock levels. I combine analytical attention to detail with strong communication, risk management, and strategic planning to support reliable inventory operations.
