Jess MWANIA
@jessmwania
Detail-oriented virtual assistant and customer support specialist improving sales pipelines through operations and client communication.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented Virtual Assistant and administrative/customer support professional with experience providing remote operational support, managing client communications, coordinating stakeholders, and keeping day-to-day operations running smoothly. I’m skilled in email management, calendar coordination, Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and CRM systems—so clients and internal teams always stay aligned.
From high-volume outreach (100 touchpoints/day) and accurate Salesforce updates to supporting lead conversion through scheduling and handovers, I bring structure, responsiveness, and clean data practices. I’ve also supported social media planning (30+ days scheduled using Buffer/Hootsuite/Later), travel coordination, and customer success—achieving a 90%+ first-contact resolution rate and measurable improvements like a 25% sales pipeline increase and reduced churn for high-priority cases.
