Summary
I am a resourceful procurement professional with a keen interest in problem-solving for the organisation as whole, end-users and suppliers. I have experience in sourcing and purchasing quality goods at optimal prices, contract negotiation, and supplier management. I have demonstrated strength in supplier relationship management, strategic procurement planning, and cross-functional team collaboration. I have also made significant improvements to cost-efficiency and vendor relations in previous employment through effective procurement strategies. I am eager to learn and work well in social and team situations, as I am easy to get along with and can take leadership roles when required. I have an attention to detail, time management, and organisational skills, so I can work well in stressful situations under time and other constraints. I am reliable and can be trusted to be honest, diligent, and respectful in all situations.
