Administrative Officer

In this administrative capacity, I managed comprehensive records management, archiving both physical and digital documents to ensure efficient retrieval and future reference, while concurrently handling critical HR functions including employee contracts and benefits administration, ensuring strict adherence to organizational rules and regulations. To optimize departmental performance and foster teamwork, I coordinated core administrative duties and provided essential management support. Financial and operational oversight included facilitating equipment procurement, managing accounts payable (suppliers/vendors), processing staff payroll, executing financial transactions, maintaining cash flow management, and generating accurate monthly financial reports. To enhance team capability, I trained new members on data entry protocols, document management systems, and standard administrative procedures. Furthermore, I ensured effective information flow by disseminating pertinent data to both supervisors and subordinate staff, enabling informed decision-making and efficient personnel management.

This careful organization enabled efficient document retrieval and provided a reliable long-term administrative reference. Moreover, I facilitated the critical flow of information by disseminating pertinent operational and personnel data to both supervisory staff and subordinates. This practice empowered informed decision-making and effective personnel management. In addition to these responsibilities, I oversaw key financial operations, which included equipment procurement, accounts payable (supplier/vendor payments), and payroll administration.

As a result, I was able to produce accurate monthly financial reports that reflected the organization's financial health.

Higher Level

I completed a Master of Arts in Logistics and Supply Chain Management at Jimma University, gaining expertise in strategic procurement, humanitarian logistics, and global supply chain operations. Key subjects included Strategic Procurement Management, Humanitarian Logistics, Transport Management, and Global Business & Supply Chain Management. The program also focused on ethical sourcing, crisis-response logistics, and multinational supply chain integration.

Practical training was integral to the studies, including simulated projects and developing a field-based proposal for a water supply system. The curriculum's humanitarian focus prepared the author to address last-mile delivery challenges, stakeholder coordination, and resource constraints in humanitarian settings.
