What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote-ready project operations work where I can own budgeting (up to $500K/month), manage multi-stakeholder approvals, coordinate teams and vendors, and deliver strict budget compliance through accurate reporting and documentation.

I’m a Project Operations Specialist with 3+ years on a large-scale outsourcing engagement for Philip Morris International (IQOS). I take full budget ownership up to $500K/month, independently manage budget approvals across 5 approval tiers, and consistently close every month within budget with zero overruns.

I coordinate 30+ people and manage up to 30 vendors simultaneously—covering onboarding, CRM/ERP access setup, contracts, invoices, and full-cycle documentation control. I serve as the primary operational contact for PMI, align estimates with key stakeholders, and ensure data accuracy from PMI systems into the monthly calculation tool, including bonus and equipment compensation approvals.
