Samantha Bravo
@samanthabravo
I’m a bilingual operations specialist building CRM systems and streamlining workflows end-to-end.
What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual operations professional with 10+ years building systems, managing complex workflows, and driving efficiency across fast-moving organizations. I thrive in ambiguous environments—quickly learning new tools and owning execution end-to-end as the operational backbone, from pipeline and onboarding to reporting and escalation handling.
Most recently, I’ve served as an Operations Specialist while acting as CRM administrator, operations manager, team lead, and de facto Executive Assistant to the CEO—owning national recruiting operations with no supervisory layer. I architected and optimized a complex CRM/ATS from the ground up (data cleansing, pipeline automation, bulk uploads, and API troubleshooting), built onboarding documentation and account-setup workflows, and managed contractor onboarding/offboarding via Deel. Previously, as an Internal Support Specialist, I handled high-volume benefits administration and open enrollment, coordinated employer onboarding and renewals across ADP/Paylocity/Paycor/Ease, resolved escalations, and ran internal audits to reduce operational risk and error rates.
