Jolene Hughes
@jolenehughes
I keep executive teams organised through remote administration, operations, and client support.
What I'm looking for
I've supported CEOs, directors, business owners, and clients across Fly Jamerson, Streamline, Stewart Financial Group, and Payment Services Consolidated. I manage calendars, inboxes, meetings, travel, confidential documentation, and day-to-day priorities in remote and office-based environments.
At Payment Services Consolidated and associated companies, I ran office operations for nearly a decade, supervised and trained administrative staff, managed payroll, bookkeeping, invoicing, reconciliations, procurement, inventory, and customer support. I also supported social media and marketing initiatives while keeping workflows organised across multiple businesses.
I'm comfortable working across time zones and using tools including Google Workspace, Slack, ClickUp, Notion, Claude, Xero, Canva, Zoom, and Microsoft Office. I bring reliable, detail-focused support to fast-paced teams and keep operations moving.
