@mariaalejandramenese
Business Administrator specializing in process documentation, demand analysis, and sales/CRM support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Bilingual Business Administrator with experience in process documentation, inventory management, logistics, international trade, demand analysis, digital marketing, and commercial support. I focus on standardization, efficiency, and continuous improvement through clear documentation and data-informed decisions.
In my current role, I develop, review, and maintain operational manuals, forms, and standard operating procedures (SOPs), and I design and update process flowcharts to improve visibility and alignment. I conduct interviews with key stakeholders and employees to validate responsibilities and best practices, monitor compliance with established policies, and coordinate project documentation needs across business areas.
Previously, I supported demand-based inventory planning, replenishment decisions, and purchase order creation, and I followed up with suppliers and internal teams to ensure timely execution. I’ve also delivered end-to-end inside sales & pricing and management assistant support, maintaining CRM records, running lead generation and customer profiling activities, preparing commercial reports, and contributing to digital marketing campaigns and events.
