Background

About Jointa Oliver

I am a seasoned professional with 15+ years of product procurement and supply chain management experience in diverse sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for financial management, as well as inventory tracking and accurate reporting, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and success throughout my career. Professional focal points include product sourcing, vendor relations, contract negotiations, quality assurance, cost containment, issue resolution, team leadership, and critical thinking. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication and prioritization skills, as well as business acumen, systems analysis, decision making, and resource management to support efficiency and maximum returns. Currently, I am the Buyer with Graphic Packaging International. Under my leadership, I research, evaluate, procure, and finished goods while monitoring and maintaining optimal inventory target levels and ensuring goods arrive within the established deadline. I also negotiate challenging term and pricing contracts with both domestic and international suppliers and timely communicate material requirements and specs. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to ensure the company’s financial support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, procurement and supply chain expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.
