About

I am a driven senior consultant with over twelve years experience in the IT industry, and over two years in the Rail Industry. Throughout my career as an eProcurement Specialist, I have developed a reputation for being a problem-solver, with a keen eye for detail and the ability to work under pressure. I have experience leading teams and coordinating tasks to ensure successful outcomes. I have a wealth of knowledge in and around the Purchase to Pay function including but not limited to: • Supplier Validation, Creation and Registration. • Purchase Order Validation, Creation and Modification. • Invoice Resolution and Processing. • Payment and Reconciliation of Statements of Accounts. My Main duties and tasks were generated through email enquiries via shared mailboxes and work queues populated via number of reports pulled from the system, all enquiries are answered through a number of different channels such as Outlook, Teams and Telephony. As a team lead, I have also gained experience in Escalation handling, How-To guide creation, Planning and Scheduling, Training. Throughout my employment, I have gained extensive knowledge of the PSA Finance, Oracle and Peoplesoft systems, as well as over 11 years’ experience in all Microsoft applications including but not limited to Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Ensemble and Access. My previous work experiences have surrounded the customer service sector, where I have serviced customers through both telephony and email channels and through which I have been able to present my reliability, professionalism and politeness. I have gained many skills such as communication (written and verbal), IT, Leadership, Training and Development, Customer Service, Time Keeping, Organisational and Time management. I have also learnt to use a wide variety of different databases and programs to efficiently collect, securely store and accurately amend sensitive personal and financial information. I tend to work better towards targets and I respond positively to working under pressure, I thrive on challenges and relish any opportunity to learn something new, I work well as part of a team as well as having the ability to use my own initiative.
