Procurement Assistant

I am a highly motivated and detail-oriented procurement professional with over 3 years of experience in public sector procurement, tender management, and vendor relationship management. I have worked in environments that require strict compliance with procurement laws and internal policies, and I take pride in maintaining transparency and accountability in every process I handle.

My background includes supporting end-to-end procurement operations, preparing tender documents, managing bid processes, maintaining supplier records, and ensuring audit readiness. I am experienced in working with SAP-based e-procurement systems, contract administration, inventory management, and supplier coordination.

I have developed strong skills in market research, price analysis, procurement planning, and cost control. I enjoy identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce cycle times, and support better decision-making through accurate reporting and KPI tracking.

In my recent role at the National Social Security Fund in Nairobi, I contributed to procurement compliance, supplier performance monitoring, and the preparation of procurement documentation. I also collaborated closely with finance and internal stakeholders to ensure timely payments, smooth delivery processes, and effective resolution of invoice discrepancies.

Previously, I supported procurement operations at the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization in Thika, where I handled requisitions, quotations, LPOs, stock control, and supplier communication. This experience strengthened my ability to manage procurement workflows in a structured and reliable way.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Procurement and Contract Management from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, along with additional training in computer applications. I am based in Kenya and am committed to contributing value through ethical procurement practices, strong supplier relationships, and efficient operational support.
