What I'm looking for
At Proxymity Ltd., I execute shareholder disclosure requests across 14 markets and help ensure regulatory and GDPR compliance. I created SOPs, checklists, and templates to support consistent processes across the team.
I also built Excel tools and automated tracking dashboards that eliminated operational bottlenecks and saved 100 hours per month in manual administration.
Previously, I developed operational processes at Recognition One and streamlined workflows at TalentHerder, where automated workflows between Slack, Google Sheets, and Zapier reduced manual tasks. I'm excited to explore my next opportunity, expand my skills, and continue growing in my career.
