Deadline Driven Buying Experience: Demonstrated ability to manage procurement activities within specific project timelines, particularly in industries governed by ITAR or similar regulatory environments. Supplier Relationship Management: Proven expertise in building strong, symbiotic relationships with suppliers, prioritizing delivery reliability and collaboration over price negotiation. Procurement Fundamentals: Strong understanding of procurement principles including aligning orders with project timelines to ensure components arrive precisely when needed. Skilled in staggering material deliveries based on lead times and prioritizing urgent orders while delaying non-critical items. Understanding of Sales to Build Lifecycle: Familiarity with how procurement supports the entire lifecycle from pre-sales to post-sales, including quoting, requisitioning, and post-sales follow-up.
