Nicholas S.
Senior Project Manager & Operations Lead | CRM, AI, Automations
I manage projects and operations, build CRM and AI automations, and support executives. Clients keep me around for years. Here is what I do, with a real example of each: - Project and operations lead Four years and 3,700+ hours as Digital Coordinator for the SPARC Portal, a federally funded neuroscience platform: scheduling, tracking, follow-ups and public communications for a team spread across several institutions. At BARBRI (1,000+ hours) I tracked hundreds of video courses through post-production with law professors and the creative team. - CRM and automation A full-time Zapier, HubSpot and Keap seat for a 100-rep sales organization in 2026: workflows that move leads, bookings and rep activity between tools, each one documented so the team can maintain it. - Executive support Executive assistant to the CEO of a global biodata nonprofit: calendar across time zones, inbox triage, meeting prep and follow-ups until they close. The CEO hired me back for a second contract. Before that, a year supporting several executives at Rippling. - Webinars and events I've run Zoom webinars for 200+ attendees. For a professional association president I handle each one end to end: registration, speaker logistics, reminders, run-of-show and the live host seat. That contract led to an ongoing role as her assistant. - Sites and apps built with AI I direct Claude Code to build working sites and tools from a clear brief. Live now: Eats Ranked (restaurant guides, on the web in seven states), LaunchNeat (websites for local businesses) and SignalRig (five working go-to-market demos).
