As a Procurement Specialist at Flynn Group, I apply my strategic sourcing and negotiation skills to secure the best possible terms and conditions for the company's purchases of goods and services. I have over two years of experience in this field, having previously worked as a Fixture Program Planner at JOANN Stores, a leading retailer of fabrics and crafts.My core competencies include inventory management, project management, vendor relations, and cost saving strategies. I have successfully sourced a new lightbox vendor for current and future store development projects, saving the company over $500,000 in fixture costs. I also create and maintain detailed reports of purchases and pricing, monitor inventory levels and trends, and implement best practices to ensure efficient use of company resources. I have a B.S. in Business Administration with a focus on Marketing from Youngstown State University, which enables me to bring a creative and customer-oriented perspective to my role. My goal is to continue to grow and contribute to the retail industry with my passion, professionalism, and problem-solving abilities.
