What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a fully remote role in operations, back-office support, or data entry where I can contribute from day one. I have direct experience working for US and UK companies in insurance, banking, and eCommerce, all in English (C1). I work independently, handle confidential data with care, and strongly prefer written communication over calls. Async-first setups are where I work best.

I’m a Remote Operations Specialist with 6+ years of experience supporting US and UK businesses across insurance back-office, financial services, and eCommerce operations. I’m known for handling high-volume data entry, document processing, and complex case management with precision and strict confidentiality.

In insurance back-office roles, I processed insurance documentation for top US brokerages, ensuring accuracy and regulatory compliance. I’ve consistently maintained zero-error data entry standards while managing email correspondence and English-language document intake workflows across multiple departments.

In financial services, I provided customer support in English (C1) through phone, chat, and email, investigating and resolving disputed transactions, unauthorized charges, fraud, and account compromises. I take data confidentiality seriously and operate comfortably in compliance-sensitive, high-volume environments.

As a Virtual Assistant and eCommerce Operations Specialist, I managed thousands of product listings and improved performance through competitor pricing research and ongoing optimization across eBay, Vinted, and Depop. I also create product photography using AI generative tools and support digital sales with advertising content—always ready to work independently and stay fully async-ready.
