About the Role
The Assistant Manager, Supply Chain will be responsible for managing procurement activities across several operational areas, with a particular focus on food services and institutional events.
The position involves much more than issuing purchase orders. The selected candidate will be expected to manage procurement requirements from the initial request through supplier sourcing, quotation evaluation, negotiation, approvals, purchasing, delivery, and performance monitoring.
Another important part of the job involves developing reliable supplier relationships while ensuring that the organization receives competitive pricing without compromising required quality standards.
Key Responsibilities
The selected candidate will manage the complete procurement cycle for food, beverages, kitchen supplies, and consumable items, ensuring that required products are delivered on time and according to approved quantities and specifications.
Major responsibilities include:
- Obtaining quotations from suppliers and evaluating commercial offers.
- Negotiating competitive prices, payment terms, and other commercial conditions.
- Preparing comparative statements for management approval.
- Managing procurement of food, beverages, kitchen supplies, and consumables.
- Ensuring purchased items meet approved specifications, quantities, and delivery schedules.
- Supporting annual contracts, rate agreements, and service agreements.
- Monitoring market prices to identify potential cost-saving opportunities.
- Tracking supplier performance based on quality, delivery timelines, and compliance.
- Resolving shortages, delayed deliveries, quality concerns, and invoice discrepancies.
- Managing urgent procurement requirements through the appropriate approval process.
The role therefore requires both operational procurement experience and strong commercial judgment.
Procurement for Corporate Events and Institutional Functions
An important part of this position involves handling procurement requirements for corporate events, conferences, workshops, and institutional functions.
The Assistant Manager may coordinate sourcing for requirements including:
- Catering services
- Venue arrangements
- Event décor
- Audio-visual services

These activities must be completed within approved budgets and agreed timelines.
After events, the employee will also conduct supplier performance evaluations and maintain a database of reliable catering and event-service providers.
Supplier Management and Evaluation
Supplier management is another major component of the position.
The selected candidate will track suppliers against factors such as quality, delivery performance, timelines, contractual requirements, and compliance.
Where problems occur—such as shortages, late deliveries, quality issues, or invoice discrepancies—the Assistant Manager will be expected to coordinate an appropriate resolution.
Maintaining a dependable supplier database will also help the organization respond more effectively to routine and urgent procurement requirements.
Cross-Functional Coordination
Supply chain activities within a healthcare organization require close coordination with several internal departments.
For this role, the successful candidate will work with teams including:

ERP and Procurement Cycle Monitoring

The job specifically requires monitoring procurement cycle times, including:
PR-to-PO: Purchase Requisition to Purchase Order
