Business Operations Specialist improving workflows and processes with 7+ years of data-driven results.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented Business Operations Specialist with 7+ years of experience analyzing business processes, identifying operational inefficiencies, and implementing workflow optimization strategies that improve productivity, retention, and overall organizational performance.
I’ve led cross-departmental process improvement projects end-to-end—scoping, planning, executing, and delivering—while developing and implementing operational policies and SOPs, tracking KPIs, and communicating data-driven solutions clearly to senior leadership. I consistently spot gaps early, propose practical solutions, and drive implementation from concept through delivery.
My results include improving client retention from 78% to 93%, reducing response times from 24 hours to under 2 hours, cutting support query volume by 35% through process documentation, and maintaining 98% CRM data accuracy across high-volume environments. I’m fully remote-ready and thrive in fast-paced environments where building operational structure and continuous improvement matter.
