What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a procurement and supply chain role where I can run end-to-end sourcing, manage inventory accuracy (FIFO/stock reconciliation), strengthen supplier relationships, and drive compliance and continuous process improvements in a high-accountability environment.

I’m a results-driven Procurement, Supply Chain, Inventory, and Operations professional with progressive experience coordinating procurement functions, inventory control, warehouse operations, tender administration, and vendor management across diverse business environments. I strengthen end-to-end procurement processes—from planning and sourcing to documentation and fulfillment—so operations stay efficient, accountable, and aligned with organizational goals.

In my current role as a Regional Store Coordinator, I drive stock accuracy and operational efficiency by overseeing order management, inventory replenishment, stock reconciliation, and FIFO implementation. I also ensure compliance through monitoring permits and licenses, representing the department in operational and supply chain meetings, and producing operational reporting that supports continuous improvement.

Previously, as a Procurement Officer, I prepared RFQs, bids, and RFP documents; negotiated supplier terms; monitored market trends; and led cost-saving initiatives while maintaining quality and delivery standards. I’m recognized for leadership and problem-solving, with a strong commitment to audit-ready documentation, stakeholder engagement, and compliance monitoring that improves service delivery.
