@raffitadevosian
Global procurement and supply chain specialist driving cost savings and resilient international sourcing.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven procurement and supply chain leader with over four years of experience managing $80M+ international projects across EU, CIS, and MERCOSUR markets. I specialize in strategic sourcing, vendor selection, and FIDIC contract negotiations that deliver measurable savings.
In recent roles I achieved $16M+ in cost savings overall, including $2.1M through FIDIC negotiations and value engineering for LEED/BREEAM projects, and $1M annually by diversifying supplier bases. I manage end-to-end procurement processes from RFQs to contract awards while ensuring international trade compliance.
I have hands-on experience optimizing ERP systems (SAP, 1C), applying Advanced Excel (VBA, Macros) for analysis, and improving delivery reliability and procurement cycle times. I’ve managed 70+ international suppliers and coordinated complex global travel and logistics for senior executives.
I bring multilingual communication (Armenian, Russian, English, German), a focus on sustainable procurement, and a collaborative approach to vendor relationship management and cross-border projects. I am driven to deliver value, resilience, and compliance for international procurement programs.
