Professional Experience:
Procurement, Compliance, Operations, and Human Resources professional with more than nine years of progressive experience supporting international humanitarian and development organizations across Lebanon and Syria. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed complex, multi-functional operations while ensuring full compliance with donor regulations, organizational policies, and national legal requirements in challenging and high-pressure environments.
My expertise spans procurement, compliance, operations management, supply chain, human resources, administration, and partnership support within programs funded by UNICEF, UNHCR, UNOCHA, USAID, the European Union, BMZ, and GFFO. I have extensive experience managing the full procurement cycle, including procurement planning, tendering, supplier sourcing and evaluation, bid analysis, contract administration, vendor performance management, procurement documentation, and audit-ready recordkeeping. I have consistently ensured transparent, competitive, and value-for-money procurement processes while maintaining strict adherence to donor and organizational regulations.
In compliance and governance, I have strengthened internal control systems, reviewed procurement and operational documentation, assessed partner compliance, supported donor and internal audits, identified operational risks, and developed practical tools and procedures that improve accountability, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. My experience includes supporting partner organizations in building compliant procurement systems and promoting continuous process improvement.
Beyond procurement and compliance, I have led and coordinated key operational functions, including logistics, warehousing, fleet management, facilities, administration, finance coordination, and cross-departmental operational planning. I have worked closely with technical teams, finance departments, senior management, and external stakeholders to ensure effective operational delivery while optimizing resources and mitigating organizational risks.
My human resources and administrative experience includes recruitment coordination, onboarding, contract administration, personnel documentation, payroll support, employee records management, policy implementation, office administration, and staff support. I have contributed to creating efficient HR and administrative processes that align with organizational standards while supporting multicultural teams and maintaining confidentiality, accuracy, and compliance with applicable labor regulations.
Throughout my career, I have built strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills that enable me to manage competing priorities, analyze complex documentation, improve operational systems, and deliver practical solutions that strengthen organizational performance. I am recognized for my attention to detail, integrity, collaborative leadership style, and ability to work effectively across procurement, compliance, operations, HR, finance, and program teams.
I am passionate about strengthening organizational systems that promote accountability, transparency, operational excellence, and sustainable procurement practices. I am particularly interested in roles that combine procurement, compliance, operations, governance, risk management, and organizational development, where I can contribute to building efficient, compliant, and resilient organizations while supporting humanitarian and development objectives.
