Associate Administration and Procurement @Unaids

Bonn, DE

When it comes to Finance and Procurement activities, especially in the area of Digital Technology Services and global operations, I play a key role. I oversee procurement activities, collaborating closely with teams to ensure our procurement needs, quality standards, and delivery requirements are met. Partnering with co-sponsoring organizations, I skillfully leverage existing Long Term Agreements to optimize costs. Keeping an eye on contract performance and compliance is also part of my routine, and I provide regular updates on renegotiations, emerging issues, risks, and opportunities. Crafting an annual procurement plan is another task I handle, along with administering the Purchase Order function as UNAIDS\' designated Buyer. I also address enquiries about administrative and financial rules and procedures with confidence.In the area of Office Administration and Secretarial Support, I provide comprehensive assistance, from screening and distributing incoming correspondence and documents to monitoring and updating our Team’s Cloud Drive structure, organization, access rights, and file naming conventions. I coordinate logistical support for the Team\'s various programmatic activities, such as organizing meetings, retreats, seminars, workshops, and training sessions. Preparing duty travel, including drafting agendas and supporting documents for missions, is another area where I lend my expertise. Moreover, I act as the focal point for HR matters in DTS, overseeing UNVs and managing consultancy contract arrangements with finesse.
