Dear Aaron,
I'm expressing my interest in the Purchasing Supervisor – MRO role you’re recruiting for in Cambridge. With over five years of experience in procurement, operations, and cross-functional leadership within manufacturing environments, I believe I bring the hands-on knowledge, problem-solving mindset, and collaborative approach needed to make an immediate impact. What drives me is improving systems and supporting people, ensuring that materials and services flow efficiently, costs are controlled, and production stays on track. In my previous roles, I’ve been responsible for issuing purchase orders, creating work orders, and managing vendor relationships, all while working closely with plant leadership and maintenance teams. I’ve used ERP and inventory systems to monitor spend, track parts, and reduce waste through data-informed decisions. While working at Ferrero Canada and more recently, I’ve developed a strong understanding of MRO procurement and inventory oversight. I’ve also led junior staff, developed reporting tools to support cost-saving goals, and implemented process improvements that enhanced vendor accountability and service levels.
I'm fully comfortable with RFQs, consumption analysis, and negotiating terms with suppliers. I’m also fluent in safety and compliance expectations in regulated environments, and I hold a clean driver’s abstract with flexibility to travel as required.
This opportunity stands out because of your client’s strong reputation and commitment to excellence. I’m excited by the idea of bringing my purchasing and operations experience into a leadership role where I can continue growing while supporting the success of the wider team. I’ve attached my resume for your review. I’d be happy to provide any additional details or meet at your convenience to discuss how I can contribute to your client’s purchasing and MRO objectives. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Younes
