Rhodora SANTOS
@rhodorasantos
Procurement Manager specializing in strategic sourcing, cost savings, and supply chain continuity.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Results-driven Procurement Manager with 15+ years of end-to-end purchasing experience across luxury hospitality, multi-brand F&B, and construction/infrastructure environments. I focus on strategic supplier negotiation and cost optimization while protecting supply chain continuity.
At Sheraton Manila Bay, I delivered ₱5.2M+ in documented savings through supplier consolidation, pricing negotiation, and order optimization. At Hilton Manila, I managed procurement operations across 400+ SKUs, maintaining purchasing visibility with structured Excel-based demand and lead-time dashboards.
I run Procure-to-Pay (P2P) and Source-to-Contract (S2C) process execution, including stock management, RFQ/tender administration, 3-way match/invoice discrepancy resolution, and audit-ready documentation. I also administer procurement systems and build ERP-ready supplier and SKU datasets—supporting both on-site operations and remote procurement management with offshore-based teams.
