What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and offers opportunities for professional growth while allowing me to leverage my procurement expertise.

I am an IT Procurement Specialist with over 5 years of experience in strategic sourcing, vendor negotiation, and contract management. My career has been marked by a proven ability to reduce costs by over 11% while streamlining procurement workflows through the effective use of ERP systems like SAP, Oracle, and Coupa. I pride myself on my technical proficiency, which is complemented by strong negotiation skills, allowing me to deliver exceptional value in the procurement of IT hardware, software, and cloud services.

In my current role at Redmahn, I have successfully identified and evaluated potential vendors, negotiated multi-year contracts, and ensured compliance with procurement policies and regulatory requirements. My previous experience at Alberta Health Services and Decibel Cannabis has further honed my skills in managing supplier relationships and optimizing supply chain processes. I am dedicated to continuous improvement and thrive in fast-paced, metric-driven environments.
