Project and Operations Manager delivering high-volume, deadline-driven work for international clients.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Project and Operations Manager with 5+ years of experience leading high-volume, deadline-driven delivery for international clients across technology, retail, healthcare, and professional services. I take end-to-end ownership—project scope, schedules, resource allocation, budgets, quality requirements, final delivery, and stakeholder communication—while maintaining control under pressure to protect deadlines.
I coordinate remote delivery at scale, managing up to 20 projects per day and ~100 per week, including urgent multilingual turnarounds in as little as one hour. I build trusted long-term client relationships by monitoring dependencies, anticipating risks, intervening quickly on quality issues, and recovering at-risk work by reallocating resources, resolving supplier challenges, and reorganizing workflows.
