Qualification, Experience and Age: What the Ad Prints
| Item | As printed | In plain words |
| Qualification | MBA OR Masters in Supply Chain Management / Logistics (minimum 16 years of education) | A business or supply-chain Master’s with 16 years of education in total. Either an MBA (any specialization is not restricted in the text) or a Master’s in Supply Chain Management / Logistics. |
| Experience | Minimum 12 years post-qualification procurement experience in reputable public and private sector organizations, including 5 years in a lead role, particularly in B2B, with in-depth knowledge of Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) Rules and related rules and regulations | 12 years counted after your degree, in procurement, in both government-type and private organizations. At least 5 of those years must be as the person leading the function. You must know PPRA rules well. |
| Age | 50 Years | The ad prints just “50 Years”. It does not say “maximum”, “as on closing date” or any relaxation, so confirm the exact rule on the careers page. |
Our reading: this is a senior leadership post. “Assistant Vice President” plus 12 years of experience and a lead role of 5 years means PMDC wants someone who has already run a procurement team, not a fresh MBA.
All 8 Key Job Responsibilities in Plain Words
The ad lists eight responsibilities (i to viii). Here is each one in simple language:
- (i) Strategy: lead the development and implementation of the PMDC procurement strategy, and design the processes and procedures that support business goals.
- (ii) Budget: lead the development and management of the procurement budget in line with business goals.
- (iii) Vendors: lead the sourcing of new vendors, and negotiate and sustain networking relationships with them.
- (iv) Policies and compliance: develop policies, procedures and systems that are optimized and in strict compliance with PPRA rules and applicable regulations, and make sure they are implemented.
- (v) Policy guidelines: set policy guidelines for a cost-effective procurement process and ensure procurement is carried out accordingly.
- (vi) Risk: perform risk assessment on potential contracts and agreements.
- (vii) Fewer single suppliers: reduce reliance on single bidders / suppliers.
- (viii) Import and export: show knowledge and experience of import and export procedures, documentation and applicable regulatory requirements.
Tip: in your online application, give real examples for each of the eight points: a procurement strategy you wrote, a budget you managed (with size), vendors you sourced, a PPRA-compliant tender you ran, and an import file you handled.
