In large businesses, Procurement Officers are responsible for assessing products, services, suppliers and negotiating contracts. They are also responsible for ensuring that approved purchases are of a sufficient quality and are cost-efficient that would be beneficial to the company, which they must abide by the company regulations and reports to the chief procurement officer (CPO). Procurement managers also play a critical role in ensuring that organizations have the resources they need to operate effectively and they determine the best sources of supplies for the company. As a procurement officer, you track the supply usage for the company, analyzing trends of use throughout the company. You then research vendors that provide quality supplies at a fair price. Overall, they must be able to negotiate to ensure the five “rights” of procurement: The right of product, price, location, quantity, and quality. Working in procurement is a global profession. You may buy things from the global market or work with a global company. You can easily move around the world working in different positions and companies, still within the procurement profession and the average salary for a procurement officer in NGN 150k - 160k per month.
