What I'm looking for
I am an Executive Assistant, Procurement, and Operations professional with over five years of experience supporting executives, managing administrative operations, and coordinating procurement processes across construction, consulting, training, and nonprofit organizations. Throughout my career, I have built a reputation for being organized, dependable, and proactive, with a strong ability to streamline workflows, manage competing priorities, and deliver results in fast-paced environments.
Currently, I serve as an Executive & Operations Assistant for a UK-based consultancy while also working as a Procurement & Administrative Officer in the construction sector. In these roles, I manage executive calendars, coordinate meetings across multiple time zones, organize travel, handle professional correspondence, maintain operational documentation, oversee procurement activities, negotiate with suppliers, prepare purchase orders and contracts, and ensure compliance with organizational policies and budgets.
My previous experience includes procurement management, administrative leadership, finance support, data management, customer service, and project coordination. I have worked closely with senior executives, cross-functional teams, vendors, government agencies, and clients to ensure smooth business operations and successful project delivery. I am experienced in CRM systems, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, QuickBooks, HubSpot, Salesforce, project management platforms, and AI tools that help automate routine work, improve communication, and increase productivity.
One of my greatest strengths is creating structure from complexity. I enjoy improving inefficient processes, organizing information, building reliable systems, and ensuring that leaders can focus on strategic priorities while I manage the operational details. I take pride in maintaining high levels of accuracy, confidentiality, and professionalism in every task I undertake.
Beyond my professional work, I am passionate about continuous learning, technology, operational excellence, and using AI to enhance workplace efficiency. I enjoy exploring new productivity tools, developing better workflows, and learning skills that help businesses operate more effectively. I am particularly interested in remote work opportunities where I can contribute to growing companies by providing exceptional executive support, operations coordination, procurement expertise, and customer-focused service.
My long-term goal is to build a career with an innovative organization where I can continue growing as an Executive Assistant and Operations professional while helping leaders and teams achieve measurable business success.
