Shelley Mills
@shelleymills
Client-focused operations and customer success professional with 15+ years driving remote service excellence.
What I'm looking for
I’m a client-focused operations professional with over 15 years of experience managing supplier relationships, coordinating international logistics, and delivering high-quality service across fast-paced commercial environments. I’m known for clear communication, sharp attention to detail, and a proactive approach to problem-solving, and I’m equally at ease managing complex stakeholder relationships and keeping back-office processes running smoothly.
In my current Procurement Assistant role at Eurocell, I manage supplier onboarding, compliance checks and documentation, process purchase requisitions, and maintain accurate supplier pricing and invoicing records—while verifying supplier bank details using strict fraud-prevention procedures. Previously, as a Supply Chain Co-ordinator at Tsubakimoto, I served as the main point of contact for shipping, outsourced warehousing, and supplier communication, tracking end-to-end shipments, resolving invoice discrepancies, and producing ad-hoc reporting from Excel trackers. Earlier, as a Logistics Co-ordinator in Remote Operations for Tradecorp Logistics, I coordinated international shipments across multiple countries and delivered service-level and payment reports for five major gold-mining clients, supporting continuous improvement projects through reliable execution and compliance documentation.
