Strategic Sourcing & Procurement Specialist | Vendor Negotion

I help companies get more value from every dollar they spend with suppliers. With 7+ years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, and supplier relationship management across manufacturing and global supply chains, I manage the full purchasing lifecycle — from RFQs and vendor negotiation to contract administration and spend analysis. What I bring to your team: - $1M+ in annual supplier spend currently managed, with measurable savings on pricing and commercial terms - Multi-region supplier network experience across the US, Mexico, and Canada - End-to-end procurement: RFQs, supplier evaluation, contract renewals, PO tracking, and issue resolution - Cross-functional coordination with Finance and Operations to keep purchasing visible and on schedule - Comfortable working independently and asynchronously with international teams - Proficient in SAP, ERP systems, advanced Excel, and Google Workspace - Bilingual: English and Spanish (native) I've spent the last few years supporting procurement operations on a freelance basis for companies in industrial and specialty chemical supply chains, which means I'm used to jumping into a company's existing systems quickly and delivering without a long ramp-up. If you need someone to own vendor negotiations, clean up your purchasing data, run a competitive RFQ process, or just take procurement off your plate so you can focus elsewhere — let's talk about your project.
