Jelena Miloradic
@jelenamiloradic
I’m an operations & program delivery leader who builds scalable systems and delivers cross-functional execution.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations and delivery professional with 7+ years of experience across SaaS, nonprofit, and emerging market environments. I build operational systems from scratch, own cross-functional delivery, and manage complex stakeholder relationships across globally distributed teams.
I’m especially strong in creating structure in fast-scaling or early-stage organisations—designing the processes, systems, and frameworks that help teams execute consistently and grow without breaking. I’m comfortable operating autonomously across time zones at both the strategic and execution levels.
In my recent roles, I led end-to-end operational planning to take an early-stage venture from concept to launch-ready execution, including compliance requirements, regulatory research, and market entry structure. I also built complete operational documentation suites—SOPs, partner onboarding frameworks, and internal workflows—to support real delivery, not just plans.
Earlier, I served as Head of Operations for a globally incorporated nonprofit, developing organisation-wide SOPs and compliance policy frameworks. I led CRM evaluation and implementation (Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud & Pardot), reducing platform costs by ~20%, and I drove deployment of an AI-powered payment platform (Fundraise Up), improving donor journey performance and increasing recurring donor conversion by ~50%.
