Shashwath Mohan

Ambitious Procurement and Sourcing professional with 4+ years’ experience supporting strategic procurement, supplier management, and operational efficiency across indirect and direct categories. Skilled in RFIs/RFPs, contract support, and stakeholder engagement, with a proven record of delivering cost savings, process improvements, and enhanced supplier performance. Seeking a Procurement Specialist role in a globally recognised organisation to contribute to strategic sourcing initiatives, learn from senior procurement experts, and grow within a structured development programme. Open to relocation within the UK and globally.

I have over four years of experience across supply chain, procurement, and operations, working with both UK and international organisations. My background spans supply chain planning, inventory management, supplier engagement, analytics, and process optimisation.

I began my career as a Supply Chain Planner at D-Mart, where I managed production scheduling, inventory control, and supplier order processes, achieving significant reductions in stock-outs and operational errors. I later supported end-to-end operations and vendor reporting at Primark, improving order accuracy and supplier engagement.

In the UK, I strengthened my analytical and procurement-aligned skills through roles at Nationwide Building Society and Arriva UK Trains. At Nationwide, I worked on supplier risk analysis, compliance, and operational efficiency improvements. At Arriva, I supported revenue and pricing analysis across multiple routes, collaborating with cross-functional teams and enhancing reporting frameworks tied to procurement and supplier decisions.

Across all roles, I have consistently improved processes, strengthened supplier performance, and supported data-driven decision-making within supply chain-related functions.

I hold a Master’s in Management from Cranfield University, one of the UK’s top business schools, where I strengthened my understanding of operations, strategy, and organisational management.

Additionally, I completed a Bachelor’s in Information Science and Technology, giving me a strong analytical and systems-focused foundation — particularly useful for data-driven supply chain and procurement functions.

I’ve also completed professional certifications including Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and the CMI Level 7 Certificate in Strategic Management and Leadership, both of which support my ability to optimise processes, lead improvements, and contribute to efficient supply chain operations.
