What I'm looking for

I seek flexible roles that allow for remote work and impactful contributions.

I am a dynamic and results-driven Procurement Professional with over 12 years of experience in procurement, supply chain management, and purchasing. My extensive expertise in healthcare, medical, and technical procurement has allowed me to manage multi-million-pound tenders, negotiate supplier contracts, and oversee contract management effectively. I pride myself on my strong analytical skills and excellent negotiation abilities, which have been pivotal in achieving cost-effective procurement solutions.

Currently, I serve as a Procurement Coordinator at JISC, where I manage procurement operations in compliance with government regulations. My role involves conducting market research, leading supplier evaluations, and generating procurement reports for strategic decision-making. I am also pursuing my Level 4 CIPS certification to further enhance my skills and knowledge in the procurement field. I am open to part-time and remote opportunities that offer flexibility and the chance to contribute to impactful projects.
