What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values strategic procurement.

I am a Procurement and Operations Specialist with over 8 years of experience in international development, donor coordination, and project administration. My expertise lies in contract negotiation, procurement planning, and compliance with donor regulations, particularly with USAID and multi-donor frameworks. I have successfully managed portfolios exceeding $1 billion, demonstrating my ability to handle complex procurement processes and ensure project success.

Currently, I serve as an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID/Ukraine, where I provide procurement support for diverse technical assistance programs. My role involves everything from procurement planning and contract negotiations to post-award administration and compliance monitoring. I take pride in my strategic planning skills and my ability to engage partners effectively, ensuring that project milestones are met and that all stakeholders are aligned.

Fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian, I thrive in multicultural environments and am passionate about contributing to impactful projects that enhance the resilience and security of critical sectors in Ukraine. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to drive successful outcomes in future roles.
