As a Procurement Buyer we are responsible for sourcing and purchasing goods and services for an organization at the best value in terms of cost, quality, and delivery time. We evaluate suppliers, negotiate contracts, manage purchase orders, and ensure compliance with company policies and budgets. Our goal is to maintain a reliable supply chain while reducing costs and mitigating risks. Our responsibilities was to source and evaluate vendors, negotiate prices and terms, issue purchase orders, track deliveries and inventory, and maintain supplier relationships. Having skills on negotiation, market analysis, attention to detail, and ERP/software proficiency really helps me a lot on my job as a buyer.
