We're seeking a hands-on, detail-oriented Procurement Executive who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys the challenge of working across multiple industries and markets. This role offers rare exposure to Singapore–Malaysia cross-border operations, vendor management, and strategic procurement projects.

You'll be responsible for ensuring the Group receives the right materials, from the right vendors, at the right cost — on time and in full compliance.

This is an operational, business-critical role. When materials arrive late, operations stop. We need someone with strong integrity, exceptional organization skills, and absolute reliability — including responsiveness beyond office hours when urgent needs arise.

Daily Operations:

• Process purchase orders in Navision (Microsoft Business Central) — from requisition to delivery confirmation include sourcing, etc
• Coordinate with Singapore office — mid-day and end-of-day check-ins on critical POs, urgent requests, delivery status
• Track all workflows in Wrike and Kissflow — every PO, negotiation, shipment visible in real-time including service request (OTC & Adv)
• Manage import/export documentation — customs declarations, HS code classification, freight booking, clearance coordination
• Respond to urgent requests — business units rely on you for same-day procurement when critical needs arise

Vendor Management:

• Source new suppliers — identify and evaluate vendors across Malaysia, Singapore, and international markets
• Negotiate everything — pricing, payment terms (30/60/90 days), delivery schedules, minimum order quantities
• Build supplier relationships — not transactional; you develop partnerships that benefit both parties
• Monitor performance — track on-time delivery rates, quality issues, pricing trends, responsiveness
• Resolve problems proactively — address delays, quality complaints, pricing disputes before they impact operations
• Quarterly vendor reviews — present performance data, renegotiate terms, consolidate or replace underperforming suppliers

Strategic & Analytical Work:

• Analyze spend patterns — identify cost-saving opportunities across categories and vendors
• Build procurement dashboards — track spend by category, vendor performance metrics, cost savings achieved
• Implement process improvements — streamline approval workflows, automate repetitive tasks, reduce procurement cycle time
• Present recommendations — monthly reports to management on cost savings, vendor issues, process enhancements
• Lead cross-functional projects — vendor consolidation initiatives, new supplier onboarding, system improvements

• Diploma or Degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or related field.
• 3–5 years in procurement (operational environments: construction, multi-site operations, project-based procurement)
• Experience in import/export operations and cross-border sourcing, customs documentation, HS codes (Singapore-Malaysia corridor experience valued)
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and ERP systems - Navision/Microsoft Business Central preferred (SAP, Oracle, or other ERP systems acceptable)
• Familiar with Project Management Tools such as Wrike, Trello or similar (daily status updates, task planning, progress tracking)
• Excellent communication skills in English and Mandarin
• Strong negotiation (balance cost savings with vendor relationships), organization, and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to read and interpret Bills of Quantities (BoQ) is an added advantage.

✓You stay calm under pressure and handle multiple priorities efficiently.

✓ You are proactive and communicate clearly with internal teams and suppliers.

✓ You value integrity, reliability, and accountability in every transaction.

✓ You enjoy improving systems and streamlining processes for better results.

• Multi-industry exposure across diverse business sectors.
• Career growth opportunities to Senior Procurement Executive.
• Cross-border operations experience between Singapore and Malaysia.
• Professional development support (CIPS/APICS certifications).
• Competitive salary, annual leave, medical coverage, and travel opportunities.
• A collaborative, fast-paced environment where your ideas are valued.
