What I'm looking for

I seek a senior operations or finance role where I can apply data administration, process improvement, and project coordination skills within a collaborative, stable organisation offering career growth.

I am an operations and finance professional with extensive experience managing reconciliations, premium payments, and journal processing in busy corporate environments.

At Liberty and Eskom I supported financial administration, handled cash and audit interactions, and captured operational data for management reporting to improve accuracy and timeliness.

As a Senior Data Take-on Administrator I maintained CRM records, processed data activations, and streamlined practitioner onboarding to improve compliance and reduce processing delays.

I have coordinated large tender submissions, overseen daily job allocations, supervised field teams for national surveys, and prepared detailed operational reports that supported district and project management.

I bring strong Microsoft Office and SAP CRM skills, practical SQL/data capture experience, and strengths in communication, team leadership, adaptability and time management; I am eager to contribute to a collaborative team focused on process improvement.
