I have definitely come across the issue of people asking me what exactly I do, besides just buy things. There is so much more to what I do. In many ways, I am a mini expert in many different functions. I have to be able to move quickly and provide great service (CS), I have to be able to read contract verbiage and understand it (legal), I have to be able to potentially flag risk (compliance), I have to be able to flag PII or IP (privacy), I need to be able to understand payment terms (AP), I need to educate team members on best practices (CE), I have to know my systems and be able to make updates and workflow changes on the fly, I need to be available ALWAYS all while also negotiating best deals for the company. All in all, though, the controlled chaos is where I thrive and how I can show up and show how much love I have for the work I do. I like being an expert in many fields, I like being the connective tissue between departments! So yes I buy things, but I do so much more. I have to be empathetic as we all are working toward a common goal. I have to paint the picture for the year of value and savings I can bring if just given a seat at the table. I have to stay positive when 100 fires are burning and 100 requests come across my desk, no pun intended but yes GRACE under pressure. I have to push myself to iterate, grow, and constantly challenge myself. So if you know someone in Procurement give them a hug or a high-five because their day is insane and usually starts with someone who needed something yesterday but just remembered they needed it and now it's a fire drill. You'll find they appreciate it because they love what they do too ❤️

Did you know that creativity is one of the most important skills in the world? But how do we measure it in procurement? That's the real challenge. Procurement professionals are still measured on traditional KPIs like negotiation outcomes, process efficiencies, and cost savings. While these are all important, none directly reflect creativity. Creativity is the backbone of procurement. It solves logistical headaches, helps close stubborn deals, and innovates stagnant processes. To drive change in our industry, we must recognise and celebrate procurement professionals who think creatively and take unconventional paths to reach new destinations. Let's embrace creativity and recognise its importance in procurement. #Procurement #Creativity #Innovation

I can tell if someone will be great at procurement. (And it's not because of their education) Here's what stands out: - They are kind and helpful - They are extremely curious - They are great story tellers - They are optimistic and positive - They are customer service focused - They are hungry to learn and understand Procurement is more than number crunching. So much more than cost savings. It's human first. P.S. Mindsets can learn skill sets! Join the movement & give this a repost

I fully agree with my Mat, being a great Procurement Professional is about putting people first. Understanding their needs, active listening and then be curious to ask the right questions to drive the best solutions.
