Position Summary
Our client is seeking a sharp, highly agile, and open-minded Procurement Officer to join our operations and supply chain team. Operating in the fast-paced pharmaceutical wholesale and distribution sector, this role is responsible for ensuring seamless inventory acquisition, supplier management, and cost-efficiency.
We are looking for a vibrant, energetic young professional who possesses a strong commercial mindset. The ideal candidate must be highly adaptable someone who treats procurement not just as an office desk job, but as a core business driver, and who is eager to step out of their comfort zone to support and serve other departments (such as logistics, sales, and administration) whenever needed.
Key Responsibilities
- Sourcing and Supply Chain Management: Assist in coordinating the procurement of pharmaceutical products, medical supplies, and equipment from local and international suppliers, ensuring optimal pricing and quality.
- Cross-Departmental Collaboration: Actively support and serve other departments; work closely with warehousing, sales, and finance to align stock intake with sales forecasts and cash flow.
- Agile Inventory Tracking: Monitor stock levels proactively to prevent stockouts or overstocking; handle delivery documentation, verify supplier invoices, and track purchase orders from dispatch to arrival.
- Supplier Relationship Management: Maintain professional, high-vibrancy communication with suppliers and distributors to ensure timely deliveries and resolve supply discrepancies quickly.
- Operational Flexibility: Demonstrate a hands-on, "all-hands-on-deck" mentality by readily pitching in with administrative tasks, client coordination, or logistics during peak business hours.
Key Competencies and Behavioral Traits
- Agility and Speed: Ability to work efficiently under pressure, respond quickly to supply chain shifts, and manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
- Open-Minded and Versatile: A strong willingness to learn all facets of the pharmaceutical business and assist colleagues outside of traditional procurement boundaries.
- Strong Negotiation and Analytical Skills: Sharp attention to detail with the ability to analyze price trends and negotiate favorable terms.
- High Integrity and Professionalism: Strict adherence to transparency, accountability, and professional supply chain ethics.

- 📌 Follow the application instructions exactly as provided (e.g., subject line, attachments).
