What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote or hybrid opportunities where I can build and scale shared services, EOR operations, and compliance-driven workflows—working with founders and teams under pressure while using AI tools to deliver faster, clearer outcomes.

I’m an operations leader who builds organisational functions from scratch, especially shared services and Employer of Record (EOR) operations. I established an EOR entity managing over £2.1M+ in billings within the first 7 months, and I launched an international Dubai office.

In my current role as Shared Services Manager at Auratus Group, I promoted from Executive Assistant to build and lead the Shared Services function across a multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction organisation. I now own end-to-end operations including payroll, pensions, health benefits, and compliance for 13 employees, while formalising processes that improve consistency and service delivery.

Before that, I supported founders directly as Executive Assistant—identifying operational inefficiencies that led to the Shared Services function—and helped drive executive coordination, offsites, and confidential cross-functional matters. I also bring hands-on experience across HR documentation, GDPR compliance, data reporting, and stakeholder management, and I use modern AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT to move faster and deliver more.
