Our procurement managers will make sure that you will only buy what you need for the best price and with the right quality.
What procurement managers do
Our procurement managers are responsible for ensuring that the business purchases the goods and services that will best help to achieve its goals. For instance, finding supplier partners that strike a balance between quality and cost. Additionally, they are tasked to review past purchases to evaluate vendor effectiveness, compliance and the business’s return on investment. They are also referred to as purchasing managers and work closely with finance, legal, operations and contract departments.
Advantages of hiring
Hiring good procurement managers will help you achieve a high return on investment and evaluate current and previous contracts. They compare costs with the quality gained and determine the best mix. Ultimately, procurement managers will reduce costs while increasing outcomes. They will also give you insight and identify strategic partners.
Our procurement managers work from offices and sometimes from home on different projects. Occasionally they travel to domestic and international sites if their project requires them to.
Essential skills
Procurement managers are analytic, organised and have good attention to detail. They also have strong IT skills in MS office. For instance, with Outlook, Excel and Word but also proficient typing skills. They also combine this with their excellent communication skills and you see that they perform to the best of their abilities.
