Support the Procurement Business Partner by monitoring category value, minimising uncontrolled spend, providing the analysis and insight that will assist with identifying opportunities, and the development and implementation of category strategies to maximise cost savings and benefits.

Supported the Procurement Manager in direct purchasing from local and overseas suppliers, which entailed high exposure to challenges faced by the Procurement function in the Automotive sector, allowing the opportunity for broader thinking and exploration of avenues outside of the norm for potential opportunities. Responsibilities include execution of sourcing activities, analyse vendor pricing revision against indices, and conducting RFQs and cost analysis to support decision making.

Worked in an autonomous role to manage stakeholder relationships, end to end sourcing for project based activities, benchmarking initiatives to achieve operational and sourcing benefits, supplier performance and inventory levels, as well as conducting domestic and international supplier site visits to ensure compliance and quality.
