What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values strategic sourcing.

I am a dedicated procurement professional with over three years of experience in sourcing and purchasing. My expertise lies in vendor management, negotiation, and supply chain optimization, ensuring that organizations achieve maximum value for their investments. I have a proven track record of identifying reliable suppliers and negotiating favorable terms, which has resulted in significant cost savings for my employers.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Senior Procurement Officer at Kirby Building Systems LLC and Purchase Officer at Mabani Steel LLC. In these positions, I successfully managed procurement processes, conducted market analysis, and maintained healthy relationships with vendors to ensure timely delivery of materials. My ability to coordinate with finance and project management teams has further enhanced my effectiveness in delivering results that align with organizational goals.

With a strong foundation in AutoCAD and SAP, I am adept at utilizing technology to streamline procurement operations. I am passionate about continuous improvement and am always looking for ways to enhance efficiency within the supply chain. I am eager to bring my skills and experience to a dynamic organization where I can contribute to strategic sourcing and procurement initiatives.
