Opportunity Bank Uganda Limited (OBUL) is a financial institution licensed and regulated by the Central Bank of Uganda, offering services to individuals and enterprises of different sizes.

The Bank reports a network of branches and ATM points across Uganda and describes its digital and agent channels, including mobile and internet banking.

Its stated values include commitment, humility, respect, innovation, service and trust, and its mission centres on technology-led financial solutions and training.

The Procurement Supervisor plans and monitors procurement activity for the Bank, coordinating with departments, suppliers, the Procurement Committee, Finance, assurance teams and the line manager. Work ranges from annual and Bank-wide sourcing plans to supplier prequalification, market research, tendering and contract award. The role also maintains vendor records, checks supplier performance and resolves disputes, while ensuring acquisition and disposal decisions follow Bank policy and relevant Bank of Uganda and PPDA guidance.

The position combines procurement governance with practical administration: approved asset disposals, invoice validation and reconciliation, supplier insurance arrangements, team supervision and risk management. The employer asks for a relevant bachelor’s degree, at least three years in procurement and general administration, including two years at supervisor level, and practical knowledge of Uganda’s banking rules. CIPS/CPSM certification and a postgraduate qualification are desirable rather than mandatory.
