About This Role
This is a hands-on purchasing role within a well-established manufacturing environment—Nib Candy Factory PLC. You’ll be managing the full cycle of procurement for a production facility, from sourcing raw materials to negotiating contracts and ensuring timely delivery. It suits a mid-career professional who is comfortable working in a fast-paced factory setting and understands the specific demands of local supplier coordination in Addis Ababa.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
While the listing requests a degree or diploma in procurement or business fields, the emphasis on local purchasing processes and contract management signals the need for someone who knows how to navigate Ethiopian supplier networks and compliance realities. The 3+ years of experience requirement suggests the employer is looking for a self-starter who can hit the ground running without heavy supervision, not someone still learning the basics.
How to Approach This Application
Focus your application on specific examples of managing supplier relationships and negotiating cost savings in a manufacturing context. Mention any experience with purchase order systems, quality compliance checks, or inventory coordination—these are the day-to-day realities the employer cares about. If you have connections with local suppliers in Addis or experience in food/beverage procurement, highlight that prominently.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for a procurement professional with at least three years of experience in a factory or production environment, especially someone who enjoys operational problem-solving. Competition is moderate—the position is specific enough to attract targeted candidates but broad enough to draw interest from many mid-level buyers.
