Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Buyer for 16 years in private/public and direct/indirect procurement, with a strong interest in the construction (BTP) and industrial sectors.

Entrepreneurial, I am focused on costs, solutions, and value.

I will assist you in commercial contracting: contracts, management and follow-up, procurement process phases (change management related to both global and transverse transformations), piloting and optimizing forecasts, negotiating strategic files (spending optimization, implementation and management of BFA/RFA, price lists and derogations, partner meetings…), as well as in the performance of partner suppliers/distributors and the Purchasing Department!

Cheerful and passionate about social relationships, I am the essential link in a commercial relationship, the link of trust between a Purchasing Department and its Partners.

"Trust is earned": Working towards mutual trust within a commercial relationship requires patience and tenacity, and commands mutual respect.

I have notably participated in major complex projects in the construction and transport sectors (electricity, hardware, tools families) such as:

- The Cergy Tunnel

- RATP fastening hooks

and 4 Grand Paris stations:

- Sevran Stations (Beaudottes and Livry) - L16

- Champigny Station (+ SMR) - L15

- Chelles Station - L16

Professional English (Written only)

To consider: When a time difference prevents a physical, telephone, or remote meeting, making written communication the only option, is a bilingual profile truly necessary in your search criteria?
