@nicolacoetzee
I improve HR and business operations through people practices, compliance, executive support, and process improvement.
What I'm looking for
I'm supporting executive leadership at Oriental Sourcing Ltd across HR, business operations, organisational development, and strategic initiatives in an international sourcing environment.
I coordinate daily operations, supplier negotiations with Chinese suppliers, warehouse-level fabric selection, resource planning, and cross-functional delivery. I've also introduced AI-assisted workflow tools and refined processes, policies, and procedures to improve productivity and operational consistency.
At Luxury Ocean Vacation, I supported the CEO through executive communications, board administration, stakeholder coordination, HR administration, onboarding, and confidential employee documentation. I developed HR policies and SOPs, coordinated employee wellbeing initiatives, supported performance management and workforce planning, and served as Secretary of the Health & Safety Committee.
I'm completing an MSc in Occupational Psychology and am seeking a senior HR or operations role in South Africa where I can strengthen workplace culture, engagement, compliance, and people performance.
