I work as a buyer within Procurement and Contract Management, in the Corporate Services and Real Estate department of the Services division. My primary responsibility is to contract with vendors in order to procure goods and services on behalf of the firm. At a high level, my role includes researching the market place for vendors, undertaking competitive bids, negotiating with vendors and executing contracts.

As each project I work on is different from the last, my knowledge is continually expanding. In addition, a number of projects have provided me with opportunities to travel to Goldman Sachs offices in Bangalore, Dubai, Hong Kong, New York, Paris and Tokyo. My experience here has shown that if you are good at what you do, you will be presented with numerous opportunities to expand your skill set and advance in your career.

My role is a mixture of both individual and team-based work. Typically, each project will involve a team of people from various divisions across the firm. However these projects also contain elements that must be completed individually.
