Morenikeji Amsata-Awani
@morenikejiamsata-awa
I am an operations leader optimizing teams and processes for measurable growth.
What I'm looking for
I am an operations and people leader with over six years' experience streamlining processes, managing teams, and delivering projects across fast-paced, global environments. I currently direct company-wide operations—administration, HR, marketing, and customer service—to ensure consistent service delivery.
I have led end-to-end programs including a 150-person international school trip to Paris, opened a new operational site with systems and workflows, and launched new business lines to grow client engagement. In remote roles I served as a non-technical product owner and managed delivery for 15+ clients with a 95% retention rate, deploying tools like ClickUp and Clockify to boost productivity. I also redesigned recruitment and onboarding, cutting cost-per-hire by 30% and implementing group health benefits to improve retention.
With a legal background and experience advising on compliance and governance, I bring disciplined risk-awareness to operations and HR. I seek remote roles in operations, talent, or project support where I can drive efficiency and scalable service delivery.
