Job Summary
The post-holder leads supply chain end-to-end: sourcing and buying goods and services locally and internationally, managing importation and logistics, and controlling stock and supplier performance. The aim is to deliver the right items at the right cost, quality and time, within policy, so projects, sales and operations are never held up by supply.

- Plan foreign-exchange needs and payment terms with Finance
Logistics, warehousing & inventory
- Oversee freight forwarders, clearing agents, transport and warehousing; set stock levels, reorder points and cycle counts to prevent project delays and stock-outs
Supplier performance & risk
- Qualify and onboard vendors; track delivery, quality and price through supplier scorecards; manage supplier dependency, FX and lead-time risk
Contracts & compliance
- Apply procurement policy (competitive bidding, approval limits, conflict-of-interest declarations); manage contract terms with Legal; keep audit-ready records
Requirements
