Operations & Customer Lifecycle Systems for Founder-Led Businesses

Pretoria, South Africa
$30 per hour
1 job
$23 total earnings

I help founder-led service and health-tech businesses transform messy onboarding, workflows, and handoffs into streamlined systems, so growth doesn't depend on the founder remembering everything. My background is unusual for an operations specialist: I bought and grew two healthcare practices before moving into operations roles, so I have run payroll, owned a P&L, and lived the consequences of broken systems. Since then, I have built onboarding, lifecycle, and workflow systems for a UK health-tech startup (PrescribeLife.AI) — including owning its privacy and compliance documentation programme end-to-end and filing two successful UK trademark registrations directly with the IPO — coordinated privacy operations across 5 regions at Nike EMEA, and built the operational backbone of a fast-growing Canadian coaching business. What I typically deliver: onboarding and activation frameworks, SOP libraries and documentation systems, Airtable-based operational systems, cross-functional workflow design, and operating rhythms that reduce founder dependency. If your business has grown faster than its systems, that is exactly the problem I solve. Recently supported a UK health-tech operator on clinic onboarding systems design.

1 job
$10K+ total earnings

I am a professionally registered civil engineer and transportation-planning specialist with more than 25 years of experience across feasibility, strategy, design and implementation projects. I combine deep technical capability in public transport, non-motorised transport (NMT), demand estimation and traffic engineering with the judgement necessary to lead multidisciplinary teams, test assumptions and turn complex evidence into practical, context-appropriate decisions. Value offered: systems thinking, clear diagnosis in uncertain environments; early identification of technical and delivery risk; disciplined, transparent analysis; proportionate solutions; and timely engagement of the right specialists where required. I strive to provide sustainable, balanced, integrated, practical and appropriate multi-modal transportation planning and traffic engineering solutions that enable planners, designers and those who implement transport infrastructure and services, to optimize its value for its users within the specific local context.
