Procurement Officer

Spektra Global is seeking a results-driven and detail-oriented Procurement Officer to join its operations team. In this role, you will be responsible for managing the end-to-end procurement cycle — from sourcing and supplier evaluation to purchase order processing and delivery monitoring — ensuring that the company receives quality goods and services at the best value and in a timely manner.

You will serve as a critical link between internal departments and external suppliers, upholding procurement best practices, maintaining compliance with company policies, and driving cost efficiencies across all purchasing activities. This is an excellent opportunity for a procurement professional with 3–5 years of hands-on experience who is looking to grow within a dynamic and growing organization.

• Source, identify, and evaluate potential suppliers for goods and services based on quality, cost, and reliability criteria.
• Prepare, issue, and process purchase orders in accordance with approved requisitions and budgetary guidelines.
• Negotiate favorable prices, contract terms, and service level agreements with vendors and suppliers.
• Monitor and follow up on deliveries to ensure goods and services are received on time and in the correct specifications.
• Maintain an accurate and up-to-date procurement records system, including a comprehensive supplier database.
• Track inventory and stock levels, coordinating timely replenishment to avoid operational disruptions.
• Ensure all procurement activities comply with established company policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements.
• Collaborate with internal departments — including finance, operations, and administration — to understand and respond to procurement needs effectively.
• Prepare and present procurement reports, spend analyses, and vendor performance reviews to management.
• Identify opportunities to improve procurement processes and reduce costs without compromising quality.

• Must hold a minimum Bachelor's Degree in Procurement, Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, or a closely related field.
• Must demonstrate 3–5 years of proven, hands-on experience in a procurement or supply chain role.
• Must be able to negotiate contracts and commercial terms confidently with suppliers to achieve cost savings and favourable conditions.
• Must be able to manage multiple supplier relationships simultaneously while maintaining quality and delivery standards.
• Must show working knowledge of procurement processes, sourcing strategies, and supply chain best practices.
• Must be proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook); experience with procurement or ERP systems is a distinct advantage.
• Must demonstrate strong organisational and record-keeping abilities, with high attention to detail in documentation and order management.
• Must be able to communicate clearly and professionally with both internal stakeholders and external vendors.
• Membership with KISM (Kenya Institute of Supplies Management) or a similar professional body is an added advantage.

The salary for this position is competitive and commensurate with experience, estimated in the range of KES 80,000 – 130,000 per month based on Kenyan market benchmarks for mid-level procurement professionals. Spektra Global offers a professional work environment with opportunities for career advancement. Specific benefits have not been publicly detailed but are expected to include standard employment benefits in line with Kenyan labour law.

Ideal candidate: You are a proactive procurement professional with 3–5 years of demonstrable experience managing supplier relationships and procurement cycles. You understand how to balance cost efficiency with quality, you are comfortable negotiating with vendors, and you take pride in maintaining accurate and organised records. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and can manage multiple priorities simultaneously.

Do not apply if: You have fewer than 3 years of direct procurement or supply chain experience, if you lack a relevant degree or equivalent qualification, or if you are not comfortable working with procurement documentation and supplier management systems. This is not an entry-level role.

• Prepare an updated CV clearly highlighting your procurement experience, key achievements, and relevant qualifications.
• Write a concise cover letter addressed to the Hiring Manager at Spektra Global, explaining why you are the right fit for this role.
• Submit your application through the official Spektra Global careers page or the job platform where this vacancy was listed.
