@shantelkwarteng
I am a results-driven Business Operations professional specialising in process optimisation and operational excellence.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Business Operations professional with proven experience streamlining processes and driving organisational efficiency across charity and private sectors. I take a pragmatic, data-informed approach to solving operational challenges while maintaining strong stakeholder relationships.
In hands-on roles such as Senior VA and Charity Business Manager, I led implementations of Asana and integrated Beacon CRM to improve task management, donor reporting, and data organisation. I also introduced data security tools and GDPR-compliant practices to strengthen information governance.
I excel at project coordination, recruitment support, financial administration, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver measurable improvements in productivity and service delivery. My work balances strategic planning with detailed process documentation and resource management.
I am motivated by opportunities to optimise workflows, enable teams with the right tools, and support mission-driven outcomes through clear communication, rigorous organisation, and a focus on continuous improvement.
