Negotiating contracts with suppliers and maintaining strong vendor relationships
Monitoring inventory levels and ensuring compliance with budget and purchasing policies
Reviewing and analyzing supplier performance to optimize quality, pricing, and delivery timelines
Ensuring all procurement activities follow company standards, sustainability goals, and legal requirements

What we need from you:

Bachelor’s degree or relevant qualification in Procurement, Supply Chain, Business, or a related field
Minimum of 3 years’ experience in a similar role, ideally in the hospitality industry
Strong negotiation, organizational, and communication skills
Solid understanding of procurement systems and inventory management tools
High level of integrity and attention to detail
