Carol B.

Operations Manager | Part-Time & Flexible Engagements

Senior Operations & Program Manager with 12+ years of international experience — available for part-time, project-based, and retainer engagements. I help small teams, founders, and international organizations bring structure to complex operations without hiring full-time. Whether you need someone to own your logistics end-to-end, coordinate vendors, manage a live program, or build operational systems from scratch — I can step in quickly and work independently. My background spans educational programs, group travel, events, hospitality, and executive support. In my current role I manage Erasmus+ immersion programs in Ireland, coordinating 50–100 participants per program across accommodation, transport, suppliers, and cultural programming — fully remotely from Portugal. What I can do for you: Operations management (ongoing or project-based) International logistics & group travel coordination Vendor sourcing, negotiation & relationship management Event and program planning & execution Executive and administrative support Workflow design and process documentation Budget tracking and supplier payments I work best with clients who need a reliable, experienced operator on a flexible basis — typically 10–20 hours per week per engagement. Based in Porto (CET), available across European and international time zones.
