Saul Franco
@saulfranco
Operations Administrator delivering HR, payroll, and compliance support in fast-paced teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Operations Administrator who supports daily operations by managing administrative, HR, payroll, travel coordination, expense management, and customer service in a fast-paced environment. I coordinate recruitment and onboarding, help manage employee separation documentation, and ensure required paperwork is submitted to the corporate office.
Across my roles, I’ve strengthened compliance and risk-focused work—scheduling third-party inspections upon project completion, reviewing and approving per diem requests, and reconciling credit card transactions by verifying receipts. I also bring experience in risk assessment/management, compliance with legal guidelines, and investigating accidents with recommendations for improvements.
I’m equally comfortable customer-facing and systems-driven work, from hotel reservations where I was recognized as “#1 salesman” to reservations and front desk responsibilities like billing, check-in/check-out, and call handling. I also bring logistics and inventory exposure, plus purchasing and insurance-adjacent administrative experience from earlier roles.
