Gemma Spelman
@gemmaspelman
Royalty payments and executive administration professional delivering accurate, fast support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a corporate administration professional with experience across entertainment and the NHS, including Royalty Payments Executive work where I check, approve, and issue statements to contractual deadlines. I raise purchase orders and payment requests, investigate invoice holds, and liaise with Business Support/Payments Teams to resolve issues quickly.
In my roles, I’m trusted to manage complex diary schedules, provide confidential support to senior stakeholders, and respond to queries through inboxes and reporting. I also process expenses and ensure supplier details stay up to date, keeping everything accurate and on time.
Earlier, I supported healthcare teams as a Medical Secretary—helping patients feel at ease by explaining scan processes and improving clinic organisation through tools like Microsoft Excel databases and Microsoft Outlook clinic diaries. I bring the same efficiency, clear communication, and calm problem-solving into fast-paced customer-facing environments, too.
