@juliakriss
Client-focused post-sales operations specialist optimizing workflows and stakeholder outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I am a tech-forward, solution-driven client services and project operations specialist with extensive experience supporting post-sales operations in construction and service environments. I excel at troubleshooting, escalation management, and optimizing workflows across cross-functional teams.
I have implemented CRM and task-tracking systems (Salesforce, HubSpot, Monday.com), automated internal workflows, and designed custom project tracking tools that improved issue resolution and reporting. I regularly author SOPs and educational resources to increase clarity and adoption.
In field-facing roles I coordinated permits, contracts, and inspections, liaised with city officials and vendors, and managed complex project documentation to minimize delays and ensure compliance. I have experience with financial tasks including invoicing, draws, budget forecasts, and payroll support.
I bring calm, clear communication to high-priority escalations, strong stakeholder management, and hands-on familiarity with API and data tools (Postman, SQL-like querying, Google Sheets). I am bilingual in English and Russian and thrive in roles that combine process building with client advocacy.
