I manage humanitarian commodity accounting, transshipments, and supply-chain operations across complex corridors.
What I'm looking for
I've supported UN WFP's humanitarian supply chains in Yemen since 2017, leading commodity accounting, transshipment tracking, inventory reconciliation, and high-volume waybill processing across Salalah, Jeddah, and Hodeida. I use SAP LESS to maintain stock visibility, resolve discrepancies, and coordinate with ports, warehouses, regional teams, and headquarters.
During a headquarters assignment in Rome, I managed freight commitments, ocean-shipment planning, IPSAS-compliant invoicing, and financial closures while improving workflows for STOs, goods issues, and miller invoicing. My background also includes HR and administration, data management, procurement support, and education-program coordination with Save the Children International.
