@nikolinaajdukovi
Experienced Project & Product Operations manager skilled in Agile delivery, QA operations, stakeholder alignment, and process optimization.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced Project & Product Operations professional with 7+ years of experience leading cross-functional teams across software, gaming, and remote production environments. I bring operational ownership, structured communication, and clarity to fast-moving, complex workflows.
I manage end-to-end project lifecycles—supporting product delivery, improving operational processes, and aligning technical and non-technical stakeholders across multiple concurrent initiatives. I’m known for bridging requirements into actionable plans while keeping teams accountable to milestones and timelines.
I work fluently across modern delivery and collaboration tooling, including Jira, Confluence, Trello, Asana, ClickUp, Slack, Figma, and remote collaboration practices. I apply Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, and hybrid workflows to strengthen delivery efficiency, team coordination, and prioritization.
Earlier in my career, I led QA operations for multiple video game projects and optimized workflow tracking and reporting through KPI development. I also founded and operated an independent business, strengthening my hands-on ability in operations management, customer experience, vendor coordination, branding, and digital project execution.
