Operations and Customer Success | Russian and English | 9+ years running e-commerce, B2B and service businesses in Kazakhstan
What I'm looking for
I have run my own companies in Kazakhstan since 2021, so I know operations from the inside: suppliers, contracts, budgets, CRM, customer issues and small teams. As co-founder and GM of Plomeria (e-commerce and B2B distribution) I grew annual revenue to 300M KZT (about USD 650K), lifted gross margin by 12% and grew the B2B client base by 35%.
Since 2026 I also work as a freelance researcher on Upwork: market reports, local recruitment and research for clients in the US, UK and Asia. Before that I spent 4 years as a client relationship manager and closed 100+ corporate contracts.
Looking for a full-time remote role in operations, customer success, support or recruiting. Native Russian, upper-intermediate English. Ready for any shift and a 6-day week.
