What I'm looking for

I’m looking to support leadership in a high-value, client-facing environment where I can run executive calendars, strengthen ops workflows, and contribute to digital marketing execution—confidently, discreetly, and with strong systems and follow-through.

I’m an Executive Assistant and Business Operations Coordinator with 6+ years of experience supporting senior leadership in fast-paced, high-value environments. I’m trusted as a key operational partner, balancing confidentiality with structured, day-to-day execution.

I manage complex executive calendars and strategic time allocation, protect focus time, and coordinate across multiple stakeholders. I also run executive inboxes, draft and filter communications, flag urgent matters, and produce structured meeting minutes with clear action tracking.

I strengthen operational reliability through financial tracking and systems—reconciling monthly expenses and bank statements, managing invoicing, and following payment outcomes to reduce delays. I maintain accurate VMG stock records and streamline digital filing and internal workflows to improve efficiency.

Beyond core executive support, I’ve expanded into marketing & digital operations by planning executive marketing initiatives across two brands, scheduling social media content, monitoring engagement metrics, and coordinating digital advertising campaigns to drive inquiries. I’m highly organised, tech-savvy, and comfortable working independently in remote environments.
