What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a hands-on role where I can improve processes, solve practical problems, manage platforms or operations, support people, and contribute to meaningful growth. I value learning, ownership, accountability, and opportunities to build something better.

At YourVacancy, I managed four specialist online job boards, maintained approximately 99% accuracy across listings and records, and reduced manual reporting time by around 40%.

I've built LinkedIn communities of 8,000+ connections, coordinated digital outreach and webinars, supported recruitment advertising, and managed client communication, content, quality control, reporting, and platform workflows remotely.

Previously, I helped build Delivery Xtreme's first branch from the ground up, leading drivers and office staff, planning routes, training teams, managing suppliers, and improving operations. I bring the same hands-on, solution-focused approach to people, logistics, recruitment, marketing, and process improvement.
