What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can deliver projects on time and within budget, build clear processes, and lead teams cross-functionally. I want strong stakeholder alignment, disciplined documentation, and measurable outcomes through KPI reporting.

I’m a Project Manager with a solid track record of getting things delivered on time and within budget across real estate, e-commerce, and the public sector. I’m good at putting the right teams together, setting up clear processes, and keeping projects moving even when things get complicated. I take planning and documentation seriously and keep stakeholders in the loop at every stage.

Most recently, I managed a portfolio of 44+ residential properties as the sole remote manager, handling tenant onboarding, maintenance coordination, rent reconciliation, and client relations. I designed SOPs to clear operational bottlenecks, maintained budgets, timelines, and risk registers, and produced regular KPI reports for senior UK stakeholders. I also led a TikTok Live commerce project from scoping to delivery, hit monthly targets within 3 months, grew organic traffic by 30%, and moved target keywords from page 3 to page 1 in 90 days.

Beyond delivery, I’ve built core functions from the ground up, including setting up HR operations and managing recruitment, payroll, capacity planning, and conflict resolution. I’m driven by structured execution—process design, risk management, and clear reporting—so teams can scale with confidence.
