I work on multiple projects at the same time, whether these are key sourcing activities or strategic initiatives. I am currently leading a project from a procurement and contract management perspective to set up a new team in Bangalore. In relation to this project I have recently completed a two-month assignment in India – a learning experience both professionally and personally. I am also the lead buyer for a multimillion dollar project to source a vendor to supply a number of Wellness services to the firm.

The challenges in my role are numerous and change depending on the specific project. They typically include successfully managing multiple projects, balancing competing priorities and negotiating complex contracts.

One element of my job that I find particularly rewarding is the opportunity to see the tangible results of my work and the subsequent benefits to the firm. For example, I was very heavily involved in procurement for the firm’s new Dubai and Russian offices. It is rewarding to see these offices up and running.
