Contract Manager

  • Tell us about yourself...

    I am Contract Manager for major projects at Aurubis Bulgaria, a role I have held since the beginning of 2024, though my journey with the company goes back much further. In my current position, I am responsible for managing and coordinating contracts related to large-scale projects that are crucial to the company’s development and production capabilities.
    I have extensive experience in managing the supply chain for both direct and indirect needs in the production process. I've worked on numerous projects, including the introduction of new production lines or the improvement of existing products for mass production in various industrial sectors.
    I returned to the heavy industry because it offers unique opportunities for professional growth. Each project related to securing or improving production units presents an endless list of challenges. This motivates me to continue developing and expanding my expertise every day.

  • How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
    Curious, ambitious, and persistent.

  • What did you dream of as a child, and what did you want to be when you grew up?

    I was fascinated by the vastness of knowledge and the variety of everything around us. I wanted to explore the world and the laws that govern it.
    I was especially drawn to the parallels and connections between the micro and macro levels— from the tiniest particles to the vast galaxies. The idea that the same laws govern atoms, ourselves, and the harmony in art still amazes me.
    I dreamed of one day having the opportunity to contribute to something exciting and significant—whether in science, art, or some other field that combines both.
    These dreams guided me down the path I took later in life, as I sought professional opportunities that allowed me to combine logic and creativity. My current job requires scientific literacy, language competence, vision for the big picture, an eye for detail, and a passion for working with people.

  • Who are you, and what do you enjoy doing outside of Aurubis Bulgaria?I love art and am glad that in Bulgaria, there are now interesting events organized at a very high level that evoke emotions but also provoke new thoughts. At the same time, I am deeply curious about technological advancements and enjoy observing how they transform every aspect of our lives.
    I strive to achieve balance and self-awareness because I believe that our perception of the world depends on us. I think we should responsibly influence the people and the environment around us.

  • How do you see your future in the company and beyond? What do you dream of?
    In the future, I hope Aurubis Bulgaria continues to implement successful projects, not only in increasing production capacity but also in managing change. I believe it is essential to prepare ourselves and others for the adaptations that today’s world demands, and that this will be a key factor in both our success and the one of the company.
    I dream of realizing many projects where I can apply the knowledge and experience I’ve accumulated and have the opportunity to share them with colleagues entering the profession. I’d love to see more women and young people at the table for negotiations and in leadership positions in companies and government institutions.

  • What would you say to your future self?
    Today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be better than today.

  • What would you say to your colleagues at Aurubis Bulgaria?
    I’m excited about the realization of the projects I’m working on, but I equally value the opportunity to walk this path together with you. Each team member has knowledge and skills that are part of our collective success..

Will you be our new colleague? There's still a spot open for you in one of our departments!
