I remotely coordinate travel operations and client workflows from Japan, delivering reliable SOPs, documentation, and end-to-end service.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote work where I can own async operations—client workflows, documentation, and systems—using clear SOPs and AI-assisted efficiency, while contributing to reliable service and smooth communication across time zones.

I’m a self-directed remote coordinator with a proven track record managing high-value client programs end-to-end—from inquiry handling and itinerary building to invoicing and follow-up—entirely remotely from Japan. I build and maintain 10–20 internal SOPs using structured review processes, so work stays consistent, current, and scalable.

I’m also comfortable running multilingual client correspondence across email, WhatsApp, and Slack, and using practical tooling like Travefy, Flywire, and Mailchimp to streamline operations and communication. Alongside travel operations, I bring teaching experience delivering 30–37 lessons per week independently and supporting curriculum delivery, coaching, scheduling, and reporting.
