Job Title: Sr. Procurement Officer.
Department: Supply Chain.
Location: New Cairo,Egypt.
Job Purpose
The Sr. Procurement Officer runs day-to-day sourcing at scale for the assigned category: managing supplier relationships, confirming volumes against forecast and campaign demand, and resolving shortages, delays, and quality failures before customers ever feel them. The role leads contingency and substitution coordination in a fast-moving environment, supports negotiations on pricing and terms, and holds the standard through peaks, because operational excellence here is measured in days and felt in moments.

- Manage supplier communication on volumes, specifications, production status, and delivery timelines.
- Support negotiations on pricing and terms to keep the assigned category competitive.
- Maintain strong supplier relationships for consistent, reliable supply.
- Coordinate commitments across overlapping peaks so no supplier or line is overpromised.
Fulfilment, Quality & Risk Management
- Monitor deliveries for accuracy, quality, and specification compliance.
- Proactively manage shortages, delays, and disruptions with recovery options ready.
- Coordinate substitutions and contingency plans with internal teams when supply breaks.
- Enforce quality standards and pursue claims for non-compliant supply.
- Keep a live view of supply risk and share it before it becomes a problem.
Inventory, Cost & Waste Control
- Align volumes and MOQs with planning to balance availability against excess-stock and spoilage risk.
- Monitor buy prices and landed cost against targets; flag erosion early with options.
- Support slow-mover and clearance decisions with supplier and cost data.
- Contribute to forecasting accuracy and procurement cycle improvements.
Process Execution & Compliance
- Raise POs, track confirmations, and keep procurement documentation complete and audit-ready.
- Maintain accurate procurement data in ERP and tracking tools.
- Adhere to procurement policy and audit requirements without exception.
- Keep supplier master data, prices, and lead times current in the system.
Stakeholder Coordination
- Align supply with business needs across operations, planning, and category counterparts.
- Provide regular updates on supply status, risks, and supplier performance.
- Support peak and launch procurement, protecting the most critical commitments first.
- Coach coordinators on order execution standards and claim discipline.
Qualifications & Experience
