Top Rated Plus | 100% JSS | Project Manager + Operations Lead currently running ops for a U.S. agency. Took a construction startup from Excel chaos to Angel Seed Funding. What I Actually Do I run project management and operations as one integrated function. For a U.S. B2B agency (12 Mavens), I manage delivery across multiple client engagements, coordinate remote specialists across email and LinkedIn outreach, and built a post-payment onboarding automation that replaced two days of manual work with zero human hours: one Zapier trigger, eleven connected actions handling NDAs, CRM records, team assignments, course access, and CEO call booking. Before that, I led the transformation of Swivu, a U.S. construction tech startup, from scattered spreadsheets into a structured SaaS product that secured Angel Seed Funding. My role covered product strategy, sprint workflows, system architecture, remote team leadership, and QA across designers, developers, and stakeholders. Across both, my job has been the same: project management that actually ships work, paired with the automation infrastructure that makes shipping repeatable. How I Think About Projects I approach everything as a systems problem. Most teams treat project management as tracking tasks. I treat it as building infrastructure that removes bottlenecks permanently. I document obsessively, communicate before issues escalate, and design workflows that work whether I'm there or not. I've managed remote teams across SaaS, eCommerce, and service businesses. My technical background means I can actually talk to developers about architecture decisions, understand why timelines shift, and spot integration issues before they become problems. Core Capabilities Digital project management across Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid approaches. Workflow automation using Zapier, n8n, and Make. Operations optimization for agencies and SaaS companies. Team leadership for developers, designers, and marketers working remotely. Tools I Use Daily Project management: ClickUp, Asana, Jira, Notion, Monday Automation: n8n, Zapier, Make CRM: HubSpot, Zoho, GoHighLevel Development: WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, basic HTML/CSS Analytics: GA4, GTM Communication: Slack, Loom, G Suite Other: Figma, Stripe, DocuSign How I Work I take full ownership of deliverables. I update you before you need to ask. I document decisions so nothing lives only in my head. My goal is to remove chaos and build systems that make your business more valuable, not just more organized.
