Reporting to the Procurement Manager, this role plays a critical part in ensuring that goods and services are sourced efficiently, ethically, and in full compliance with IREX policies, donor requirements, and local regulations. You’ll work closely with program teams, finance colleagues, and vendors to keep procurement moving—accurately, on time, and audit-ready.

• Screen, vet, and conduct due diligence on vendors in line with IREX and donor requirements
• Prepare procurement documentation, contracts, and agreements for review and approval
