Procurement Executive (Entry-Level Welcome)
About the Role
Gotraka is looking for a smart, resourceful, and highly adaptable Procurement Executive to support our Senior Procurement Officer.
We're not looking for years of procurement experience. Instead, we're looking for someone who is an exceptional communicator, learns quickly, enjoys solving problems, and can confidently handle new challenges.
If you're naturally organised, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and can pick up new systems and processes quickly, we'd love to hear from you. Full training will be provided for the right person.
You'll work closely with suppliers, internal teams, and international vendors, helping keep our procurement operations running smoothly.
What You'll Do
- Support the Senior Procurement Officer with day-to-day procurement activities.
- Communicate professionally with suppliers via email and phone.
- Follow up on orders, deliveries, and supplier enquiries.
- Maintain accurate purchasing records and supplier information.
- Update purchasing, inventory, and supplier data in internal systems.
- Assist with preparing and processing purchase orders.
- Help identify and resolve supply issues before they become problems.
- Work closely with Sales, Warehouse, Operations, and Finance teams to keep purchasing running efficiently.
- Learn procurement processes quickly and continuously improve the way work is done.
What We're Looking For
Experience isn't the deciding factor for us. We're looking for someone with the right mindset and abilities.
Essential
- Outstanding written and spoken English communication skills.
- A quick learner who can understand new systems and processes rapidly.
- Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
- Highly adaptable and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
- Self-motivated, proactive, and able to take ownership of tasks.
- Confident communicating with suppliers and colleagues from different countries and cultures.
- Strong computer skills and confidence using or learning new software.
Nice to Have (Not Required)
- Previous experience in administration, customer service, procurement, purchasing, or office support.
- Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office skills.
- Experience using ERP, purchasing, inventory, or CRM systems.
- Experience in IT hardware, electronics, or ecommerce.
No procurement experience? That's completely okay. If you're intelligent, communicate exceptionally well, and have the right attitude, we'll teach you everything else.
The Kind of Person Who Will Succeed Here
You are someone who:
- Learns quickly and enjoys new challenges.
- Communicates clearly, confidently, and professionally.
- Solves problems instead of waiting for someone else to fix them.
- Adapts easily when priorities change.
- Takes initiative and follows through.
- Is dependable, curious, and eager to improve.
- Works well independently and as part of a team.
How Success Will Be Measured
- Professional and effective communication with suppliers and internal teams.
- Fast learning and ability to become productive quickly.
- Accuracy in procurement records and administrative tasks.
- Proactive problem-solving and follow-through.
- Reliability, initiative, and contribution to improving procurement processes.
- Consistent support provided to the Senior Procurement Officer and wider operations team.
