I’m looking for a stable remote role in back-office administration, data management, document control or operational support. I work best in structured environments where accuracy, organisation and independent work are valued, and I’m keen to grow within a dependable long-term team.

Back-office and administrative operations professional skilled in data management, records, document control, reporting, and AI annotation.
What I'm looking for
I am a back-office and administrative operations professional with extensive experience across data management, records administration, document control, reporting, project coordination, and operational support. My background includes high-volume data processing, CRM and database management, spreadsheet tracking, financial and management reporting, supplier coordination, research, workflow administration and cross-departmental support.
In my current role as an Administrative Operations Specialist, I maintain records across CRM systems, databases and shared trackers, validate information, identify and resolve discrepancies, manage recurring reports and support administrative workflows from start to completion. I also help improve digital processes using tools such as Google Forms, Google Classroom, and shared reporting systems.
Previously, as a Project Coordinator and Data Processing Clerk, I managed project databases, SharePoint documentation, reporting, data validation and high-volume record processing across multiple systems. I also coordinated suppliers, procurement, technician schedules, project requirements and departmental queries while supporting management with accurate operational and financial information.
Alongside my administrative work, I currently complete project-based AI data annotation, transcription and quality review assignments. This has strengthened my attention to detail, ability to follow detailed guidelines and confidence working independently in remote environments.
I am highly organized, dependable and comfortable managing multiple priorities across Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, CRM systems and shared digital platforms. I am particularly interested in remote opportunities in back-office administration, data administration, document control, administrative operations and project or operations coordination.
