What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a procurement leadership role where I can own eRFX sourcing, reverse auctions, and strategic negotiations end-to-end—using SAP Ariba and Coupa—to deliver sustained cost savings, strong supplier partnerships, and clean contract execution.

I am an experienced Specialist Procurement professional with 9 plus years of experience in ITES/BPO/Call Center industries. I bring end-to-end capability across RFI/RFQ/RFP tendering, eRFX event execution, and supplier contracting—built to deliver measurable cost outcomes.

In my current role as Assistant Manager, I set up and execute end-to-end eRFX events using SAP Ariba, including managing reverse auctions on regional and global scales. I build comprehensive RFQ packages by consolidating Approved Vendor Lists (AVL), drawings, technical specifications, and checklists, then run structured bid analysis and negotiation to address variances and optimize costs.

I also lead contracting and onboarding: managing award processes, building contract workspaces in Coupa based on financial thresholds, and onboarding new vendors per client requisitions. Across categories spanning IT Hardware, Electrical, Civil, IMS and Stationery, I oversee annual spend exceeding USD 18M, driving cost savings of USD 4M+ and achieving 12% average cost reduction while maintaining relationships with 75+ global suppliers.

Earlier, I strengthened my foundations at Capgemini and Accenture—preparing tender clarity for inbound RFI/RFP submissions, converting PR to PO using SAP MM, initiating and closing SLAs/AMCs/value contracts, and owning shipment lifecycle tracking and PO closures. I’m motivated by stakeholder partnership, process governance, and consistently improving how sourcing teams execute.
