What I'm looking for

I’m looking to support mission-driven leadership with executive scheduling, search/recruitment operations, and rigorous ATS, DocuSign, and documentation workflows—where urgency, accuracy, and cross-team alignment are essential.

I’m a proactive Executive Assistant and Operations Coordinator with 10+ years in hybrid legal aid, governance, and humanitarian program management at Refugee Consortium of Kenya (RCK). I’m known for anticipating senior leaders’ needs through priority tracking, scheduling, and stakeholder communication.

I excel at executive support across daily meeting overviews, need anticipation, and rapid response to client emails. I manage high-importance updates and introductions for 20+ partners, keeping advocacy search work moving with clarity and urgency.

I bring strong systems discipline to recruitment and operations, maintaining ATS/Workable-like hygiene and running end-to-end workflows for candidate verification and assessments. I also coordinate documentation and contract processes using DocuSign-style tracking, ensuring execution and compliance across large volumes.

In operations and document management, I keep SharePoint/Notion organized with version control and accuracy, supporting smooth handoffs and reporting. I’m ready to support Remote Raven’s leadership and search operations with minimal supervision—focused on reliability, alignment, and measurable progress.
