HR & People Management
Purchasing Officer
The execution layer of procurement — accurate, fast, controlled.
Full-time | Kuwait
Role:
- Purchasing Officer Department.
- Operations & Procurement.
Contract:
- Full-time, permanent
Location:
- Across Salam · Shuhada · Salwa branches
About BeCurious:
BeCurious is a premium Finnish-method preschool operating across three branches in Kuwait — Salam, Shuhada, and Salwa. Built on the belief that curiosity drives learning, BeCurious combines a strong curriculum with a structured operational system.
In a multi-branch environment, procurement is not just buying — it is controlled execution of standards, timing, and consistency. The Purchasing Officer ensures that every approved request becomes a delivered item with accuracy and traceability.
The Role:
The Purchasing Officer is responsible for executing all approved purchasing activities across BeCurious branches.
This role does not define what to buy — it ensures that what has been approved is sourced, ordered, tracked, and delivered correctly.
You are the operational engine of procurement execution, working closely with the Purchasing Manager to maintain accuracy, speed, and control across all transactions.
Responsibilities:
Purchase Order Execution:
Purchase Order Execution:
- Execute purchase requests approved by the Purchasing Manager.
- Create and process purchase orders in the system (Odoo or equivalent).
- Ensure accuracy of item specifications, quantities, and pricing.
- Follow approval workflows strictly before processing any order.
Supplier Coordination:
- Communicate with approved suppliers for order placement.
- Confirm pricing, availability, and delivery timelines.
- Follow up on pending or delayed orders.
- Escalate supplier issues to Purchasing Manager when required.
Delivery Tracking:
- Track all incoming deliveries across branches.
- Verify that delivered items match purchase orders.
- Report shortages, damages, or discrepancies immediately.
- Coordinate with branch staff for receipt confirmation.
Documentation & System Updates:
- Maintain accurate records of all purchases.
- Ensure invoices, receipts, and delivery notes are properly filed.
- Update procurement systems in real time.
- Support audit readiness with complete documentation.
Inventory Support:
- Assist in monitoring stock levels across branches.
- Flag low-stock or urgent replenishment needs.
- Coordinate with branch teams for delivery verification.
- Support inventory counts when required.
Operational Support:
- Handle urgent procurement requests when approved.
- Support branch opening or event-based purchasing needs.
- Ensure smooth flow of day-to-day operational supplies.
What This Role Is Not:
- This is not a decision-making procurement role.
- The Purchasing Officer does not select suppliers independently.
- The role does not bypass approval workflows.
- This is not a strategic sourcing role — it is execution-focused.
You Are the Right Person If
You will thrive in this role if you:
- Are highly accurate and detail-oriented.
- Follow processes without deviation.
- Communicate clearly and consistently with suppliers.
- Can manage multiple orders and deadlines at once.
- Are disciplined with documentation and tracking.
This role is not right for you if you:
- Prefer making purchasing decisions independently.
- Struggle with structured systems and workflows.
- Avoid follow-up and accountability.
- Are not comfortable with detailed administrative execution.
Qualifications and Experience:
Required:
- 2–4 years experience in purchasing, procurement, or administrative operations.
- Experience working with suppliers and purchase orders.
- Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
- Basic experience with ERP systems (Odoo or similar).
- Arabic and English proficiency.
- Based in Kuwait or able to relocate immediately.
Preferred:
- Experience in education, retail, or multi-branch operations.
- Understanding of inventory and stock systems.
What BeCurious Offers:
- A structured procurement system with clear workflows.
- A stable operational role with defined responsibilities.
- Exposure to multi-branch operations and systems.
- Growth opportunity into Purchasing Manager role over time.
Compensation:
Competitive, based on experience. Discussed at offer stage.
