What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Customer Success/Client Operations role where I can lead onboarding and implementation, handle escalations with technical teams, and improve product adoption and retention in an SLA-driven SaaS environment.

I’m a customer-focused Client Success and Operations professional with 7+ years of experience managing client relationships, system onboarding, product support, and service delivery across SaaS-style platforms, education systems, and corporate environments. I’m experienced in managing full customer lifecycles—from pre-sales demos and onboarding to implementation, training, and post-sale support.

I consistently drive successful product adoption and customer satisfaction by handling escalations, working with technical teams, and operating in SLA-driven environments. I bring a strong background in CRM systems, remote client support, and customer retention through problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration.

In roles including Ed-admin and Customer-facing onboarding work, I managed end-to-end journeys such as sales-to-support for school management software, supported data import/export during migrations, and resolved client queries to ensure smooth adoption across schools. I also bring structured stakeholder communication and time-zone agility from international environments, strengthening my ability to deliver reliable service under pressure.
