@keilysmith
Operations and executive assistant with 5+ years building systems, managing vendors, and optimizing property operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations and administrative professional with 5+ years of experience overseeing day-to-day business operations, including management of a 30+ unit rental portfolio. I build operational systems and advanced spreadsheet tools to track finances, renovations, vendors, and workflows, and I’m trusted to handle confidential information while keeping operations running smoothly.
In my most recent role as an Executive Assistant & Property Operations, I managed office operations, coordinated vendors, and negotiated costs, securing consistent 15–25% cost savings through direct negotiation. I also led the full hiring process, created training materials for new hires, and drove digital marketing with scripted short-form video content for Facebook and Instagram—helping campaigns reach 20,000+ views and generate regular inbound calls. Earlier, I improved a 1,000+ record filing system by reducing file backlog by 90% through scanning and organization, strengthening retrieval efficiency and document control.
