I am a highly adaptable and results-driven Deputy Buyer / Procurement Professional currently seeking new opportunities in Gauteng or the Western Cape.
I hold a Bachelor of Agriculture Degree (Viticulture & Horticulture) from Stellenbosch University and have solid experience across procurement, sales support, quality assurance, laboratory work, and export-driven agricultural environments. My background spans both operational and technical roles, allowing me to add value beyond traditional buying functions.
Key experience and strengths include:
- End-to-end buying and procurement in a high-volume FMCG environment
- Supplier sourcing, negotiations, contracting, and performance management
- Strong administrative capability, including documentation, compliance, reporting, and record-keeping
- Market and sales analysis, pricing strategies, and margin improvement initiatives
- Exposure to export processes, traceability, and compliance requirements
- Laboratory and quality control experience, including sampling, analysis support, and audit preparation
- Demand forecasting, inventory planning, and supply continuity management
- Advanced computer literacy (MS Excel, SAP, MS Office)
I am detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and comfortable working under pressure. I adapt quickly to new environments, support multiple functions where needed, and work effectively with cross-functional teams across sales, logistics, quality, and operations.
Preferred locations: Gauteng or Western Cape
Availability: Immediate (negotiable)
Relocation: Willing to relocate on my own account
