Job Description
Company Description
Our Client, based in Harare, Zimbabwe, and a leader in the Tourism industry, is looking to appoint an experienced Procurement Manager. Zimbabwean citizens only, may apply. Foreign applicants will NOT be considered due to work permit restrictions.
Procurement is an exciting and critical function for our Client to facilitate their operations team to deliver a truly authentic African safari experience. A procurement manager’s most important task is to build, train and nurture a strong procurement team. As a manager it is critical to give guidance and positive support to your team without individually getting pulled into buying adjudications. A procurement manager should have a “solution based” mindset when presenting challenges to the team and Zimbabwe General Manager. It is imperative the procurement manager understands the types of goods the Client’s operations require. There should be an open and honest dialogue with Camp Managers and the Country Manager on the suitability of goods ordered on a continuous basis. Judgement is required in selecting the right product with the right supplier. Should there be any situation where you require assistance or guidance, the senior management team is ready to assist.
