The Role

IREX seeks a detail-oriented Procurement Officer to support the timely, compliant, and transparent implementation of procurement activities for the Early Grade Education Activity (EGEA).

Reporting to the Procurement Manager, this role plays a critical part in ensuring that goods and services are sourced efficiently, ethically, and in full compliance with IREX policies, donor requirements, and local regulations. You’ll work closely with program teams, finance colleagues, and vendors to keep procurement moving—accurately, on time, and audit-ready.

What You’ll Do (Top 5 Priorities)

• Manage core procurement workflows—from receiving Procurement Requisitions through delivery—ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and full compliance
• Conduct market research, collect bids and quotations, and prepare clear, well-documented evaluation summaries
• Screen, vet, and conduct due diligence on vendors in line with IREX and donor requirements
• Prepare procurement documentation, contracts, and agreements for review and approval
• Maintain complete, organized, and audit-ready procurement files, trackers, and system records

Why High Performers Succeed Here

• Quality is valued. Accuracy, good judgment, and ethical decision-making are recognized and trusted.
• You have real ownership. You’re not just executing tasks—you’re contributing to systems that must hold up under scrutiny.
• You collaborate with purpose. You’ll work closely with program and operations colleagues who respect procurement as a strategic function.
• You grow your expertise. Exposure to donor-funded procurement, compliance standards, and complex projects strengthens your professional toolkit.

This role rewards professionals who take pride in doing things the right way—and doing them well.
