Joana Gomes

I am an experienced professional with 6+ years of experience in Office Management, Workplace Operations, Employee Experience and administrative coordination, working in international and fast-paced environments.

In my current role at AUTODOC, I oversee workplace operations for the Lisbon and Porto offices, managing vendors and service contracts, operational budgets, health & safety, internal events, employee engagement initiatives and continuous improvements to the workplace experience. I work closely with international teams and external partners, ensuring efficient processes and a positive, well-organized work environment.

Before AUTODOC, I worked as an Office Manager at Alcon, where I developed strong experience in budget management, cost control, forecasting, team coordination, internal communications, events and employee well-being. My earlier career also includes experience in sales, marketing, hospitality and graphic design, giving me a broad and adaptable skill set.

I am a proactive, organized and people-oriented professional who enjoys solving problems, improving processes and creating positive experiences for both employees and clients. I am comfortable working independently, managing multiple priorities and collaborating with international teams.

I am currently looking for remote opportunities where I can leverage my experience in operations, administration, coordination, employee experience and project support, while continuing to develop professionally.

As a recent mother, I have also gained an even stronger appreciation for efficiency, structure and purposeful use of time. Remote work would allow me to eliminate commuting time and dedicate that time and energy to my professional responsibilities, enabling me to remain highly focused, productive and committed during working hours while maintaining a sustainable work-life balance.

I am particularly interested in companies that value trust, flexibility, autonomy, collaboration and continuous improvement.
