Kyubra Aliyeva
@kyubraaliyeva
Experienced procurement and contract management professional driving cost savings and process improvements.
What I'm looking for
I am a procurement, contract management and commercial professional with broad international experience across energy and services sectors. I have led procurement strategies, supplier negotiations and contract lifecycle management to improve cost, quality and compliance.
At Hydroserv and Baker Hughes I implemented supplier consolidation and qualification initiatives that delivered measurable cost reductions and improved supplier performance. I also drove a 20% reduction in contract turnaround time through process improvements while managing high-stakes contract disputes to favorable outcomes.
My background includes buyer, document control, commercial analyst and project administration roles where I managed RFQs/RFPs, purchase orders, contract reporting and vendor performance systems. I combine strong analytical, negotiation and stakeholder-collaboration skills to align procurement with project and business objectives.
I hold legal and business-focused graduate education and professional certifications in HR and procurement-related subjects, and I seek roles where I can lead procurement or contract functions, optimize supplier strategies and strengthen compliance and commercial outcomes.
