What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-friendly role where I can own delivery end-to-end—defining scope, managing risks and dependencies, coordinating stakeholders and vendors, and producing clear metrics-driven updates with proactive issue prevention.

I’m an organised, delivery-focused Project Manager with 7+ years of experience coordinating complex, multi-stakeholder programmes across nonprofit and financial services. I define project scope, build critical path schedules, and track deliverables, risks, and milestones with reporting tailored for senior leadership and external stakeholders.

In my current role, I embed as a project coordinator supporting a senior OD lead—managing scope, schedules, communications, and documentation across concurrent initiatives. I escalate risks early, review deliverables against agreed standards before submission, and streamline workflows by identifying process inefficiencies and implementing targeted improvements. I also support technology adoption end-to-end, from requirements gathering and tool setup to staff training, troubleshooting, and post-implementation review.

Previously, I managed stakeholder and vendor communications while coordinating logistics end-to-end for a high-level national event, acting as the single point of contact across government and civil society. Earlier experience as an HR & Administrative Officer in regulated financial services strengthened my compliance mindset through asset management and procurement from scratch, secure record systems, and precise administrative coordination.
