I turn "founder-led Business" into a smooth, system-driven machine so you can stop micromanaging and start leading. As an experienced operations manager and project manager, I act as the operational backbone for your business, taking full ownership of your project boards in ClickUp, Asana, Notion, or Smartsheet to ensure nothing ever falls through the cracks. My goal is simple: I make sure every project moves from a rough idea to a finished deliverable on time, every time, without you ever having to ask for a status update. Industry-Specific Operational Support Having spent years embedded in high-growth agencies and startups, I understand the specific friction points that stall production and how to solve them. Web Studios: I bridge the gap between designers and developers for WordPress, Elementor, and Webflow projects. I manage the full delivery lifecycle from navigating Figma files to handling final QA snag lists—ensuring that creative handoffs are seamless and launches are polished. Video and Content Agencies: I take over the heavy lifting of the production workflow by coordinating editing teams, managing transcripts, and leveraging AI to generate high-performing titles. I keep your asset libraries organized so your creatives can stay in their zone while the approval pipeline moves without delays. Email Marketing and CRM Agencies: I handle the technical side of your campaigns using ActiveCampaign and GoHighLevel. Whether it’s building complex automated sequences, triaging leads, or cleaning up data, I ensure your outreach is precise, and your CRM remains a reliable source of truth. DTC and E-commerce Brands: I streamline the backend for Shopify stores by managing product data and coordinating with UGC creators. I source the right micro-influencers and organize asset libraries to keep your marketing and fulfillment moving at speed. Multi-Channel Media Agencies: I support complex campaign execution across platforms like Radio and Out-of-Home. I coordinate with suppliers to manage rate cards, artwork specs, and proof of performance reporting so every booking is tracked and confirmed. ---How I Keep Your Business Moving--- I am not just a "checklist PM"; I am a hands-on executor and an accountability partner. I apply Agile, Scrum, and Kanban methodologies to visualize work and clear hurdles before they become problems. If you have an existing system, I will master it; or I will build the SOPs and structures you need to scale. I protect your focus by handling the complex calendar logistics, inbox triaging, and team accountability that usually slow founders down. I am comfortable being the "enforcer" who kindly but firmly nudges the team to meet their commitments, keeping you informed via quick Loom updates. I also help you build and protect your culture through team hiring and onboarding. I take ownership of the entire process from vetting contractors to ensuring new hires are properly integrated into your systems. Once they are on board, I provide the consistent oversight needed to keep them focused and productive. Beyond day-to-day delivery, I provide essential financial and operational support. I am comfortable managing vendor payments via Wise and maintaining clean records in QuickBooks by tagging and categorizing expenses. This ensures your accounting team has exactly what they need while you stay focused on the big picture. My technical toolkit is deep and versatile. I am an expert in Google Workspace and Microsoft Office, particularly with advanced Excel for data tracking. ---Let’s Scale Your Operations Together--- I am a proactive, solution-oriented partner who thrives in fast-moving, autonomous environments. I am ready to bring calm, disciplined structure to your business as your reliable right hand. If you are looking for an Operations Manager or Project Manager who is sharp, friendly, and dedicated to your growth, I invite you to send me a message so we can discuss how to streamline your processes today.

Hi there — I’m Claudelle, Senior Recruiter originally from Montreal, Canada, with over six years of experience helping North American businesses find and hire top talent. I’ve supported companies in tech, sales, operations, finance, and manufacturing by finding and placing top performers who truly fit their culture. My approach is personal and proactive. I don’t rely solely on job boards. I headhunt directly, reaching out to candidates who are already excelling in similar environments. I handle the full process myself — sourcing, outreach, interviews, and shortlisting. I ensure that every candidate I present is both highly qualified and aligned with my client’s long-term goals. What sets me apart: - Targeted headhunting - AI-assisted research and personalized outreach - Proven success with bilingual and niche placements across North America & Australia - Transparent, high-quality process focused on retention - Deep understanding of both Anglophone and Francophone markets In addition to recruitment, I also take on select English–French Canadian translation projects, helping businesses adapt their internal documents, marketing materials, and product descriptions into French Canadian to reach new audiences. If you’re looking for a bilingual recruiter who values relationships, precision and communication, I’d love to connect.
