Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End PO Management: Receive internal purchase requisitions, verify details, and generate official Purchase Orders (approx. 3–5 POs per week).

• Payment Processing: Initiate and process vendor payments, ensuring alignment with credit terms and cash flow schedules.
• Invoice Management: Chase outstanding vendor invoices and ensure all documentation is complete before payment.
• Reconciliation: Verify that items received match the POs and invoices. Flag and resolve any shortages or overages immediately.
• Record Keeping: Maintain accurate, organized records of all procurement activities for the Finance Team.

Requirements

• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of experience as a Purchasing Manager, Procurement Specialist, or Supply Chain Lead.
