What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-capable role where I can support senior leadership, run HR and administrative operations end-to-end, and keep executive workstreams organised—using clear communication, discretion, and strong follow-through to drive results.

I’m a composed, highly organised Executive Assistant and HR professional with 4+ years of experience supporting senior leadership in fast-paced, remote environments. I manage executive calendars, coordinate meetings, handle confidential documentation, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

In my HR & Administrative Officer role, I ran the full HR function independently—recruitment coordination, staff onboarding, payroll processing, benefits administration, attendance tracking, and employee record management—maintaining compliance and accuracy across the employee lifecycle. I also prepared management reports, board-level presentations, meeting minutes, and internal communications, and maintained centralised digital filing systems so records are organised, version-controlled, and retrievable.

I bring calm execution under pressure, clear communication, and professional discretion that C-level leaders need. I’ve also managed client invoicing, vendor payment cycles, and budget oversight, and handled finance and programme data work—supporting audits, donor reviews, and impact reporting deadlines.
