ActionAid Mozambique (AAMoz) is a national anti-poverty non-governmental organisation operating in Mozambique since 1988. It works directly with communities experiencing poverty and social exclusion across several provinces, combining development programmes, rights advocacy and emergency response.

AAMoz programmes are frequently funded by international donors, which imposes a high level of rigour and compliance on the Procurement department, with detailed documentation at every stage of the contracting cycle.

The Procurement Officer position is based in Maputo City, at the organisation's office in Bairro da Coop, Rua C, Casa n.º 151, on a full-time, on-site basis. This is a single posting (1 position).

Key responsibilities

The Procurement Officer will be responsible for ensuring that the organisation's acquisition of goods and services follows internal policies and procedures, with a focus on quality, cost optimisation, delivery timelines and risk mitigation throughout the entire contracting cycle.

Main tasks include:

• Define procurement guidelines and acquisition strategies in line with the organisation's operational needs, aligned with the objectives of active programmes in each province;
• Carry out the operational purchase and management of materials and equipment, in full alignment with the approved Procurement Plan;
• Coordinate the procurement of goods and services according to the annual Procurement Plan, ensuring each purchase meets the technical specifications, budget and delivery deadlines of each programme;
• Identify and develop potential suppliers, issue requests for proposals and quotations, and negotiate the best commercial terms and conditions based on objective, documented criteria;
• Conduct market analysis and comparative evaluation on a regular basis to ensure continuous improvement in quality, cost and delivery of materials, equipment and services purchased;
• Manage supplier relationships according to their segmentation (strategic, preferred, transactional), maintaining up-to-date performance records and incident reports;
• Run data analysis to support procurement processes, prepare justifications for award recommendations, and evidence purchase decisions to the management;
• Produce price projections and market trend forecasts to anticipate exchange-rate fluctuations, seasonal supply patterns and economies of scale.

The Procurement Officer is also responsible for the overall management of suppliers, providing technical guidance on segmentation, commodity category management, pricing, supply-chain risk mitigation, innovation in procurement solutions and contract management across the full supplier life cycle.

The ideal profile combines practical Procurement experience with an understanding of the development-organisation context, where every purchase is subject to donor compliance rules and transparency requirements that demand rigorous documentation at every stage.
