Project Manager | Operations, SOPs & Workflow Design | AI-Savvy

Hi, I'm Mitzi. I started out as a customer service rep and worked my way up to running global programs. Along the way I've supported everyone from individual founders to teams of 400, and the job is always the same: keep things moving, keep people in the loop, and take the tedious work off your plate. 10+ years in project management, operations, and client support since then. I've been the person executives hand a rough idea to, trusting that I'll go figure out how to make it happen. WHAT I'M KNOWN FOR - Building the process while the company is still running. I joined DCP Global when it was very early stage and stayed until we had 17 global teams and close to 400 people. - Spotting the tedious thing nobody asked me to fix, then fixing it. - Being the buffer between a busy executive and everything else, so only what actually needs them reaches them. WHAT I CAN TAKE OFF YOUR PLATE - Project and program management: schedules, priorities, risk tracking, keeping teams moving across time zones - Process and documentation: SOPs, RACI matrices, workflow templates. If your operations currently live in one person's head, I'll get them out of there. - Executive support: escalations, check-ins, stakeholder reports, calendar and inbox management - Customer support: inbound inquiries, escalations, disputes, and the careful handling that sensitive accounts need. I spent my early career doing this for a global online payment platform. - Research and business materials: I dig, I summarize, I hand you something you can actually use - AI automation: finding the repetitive work in your week and building something that handles it HOW I WORK - I ask questions early instead of guessing. I'd rather flag a problem while it's small than surprise you when it's big. - I answer fast. Customer service taught me that leaving someone waiting is its own kind of problem. - Remote since 2020, so I need very little supervision. - I work fast. I know my way around the internet and around AI tools, so things that take others a full day often take me a fraction of that. EXAMPLES OF MY WORK - Freelancer work alerts. Our teams' work depended on a platform releasing tasks at random times, so people were refreshing the page all day trying to catch it. I set up Slack channels and webhook automations that notified everyone the second work went live. - Payment automation. We were paying almost 400 freelancers by hand every month. I built a dashboard plus a Google Sheets automation that imports the client's invoice, matches each entry to the right profile, and calculates amounts in both local currency and USD. A full week of finance work turned into a quick, repeatable task. - Operations from scratch. At RJC Global Impact I built out the meeting cadence, stakeholder reviews, and risk and issue tracking for a 10 person team getting ready to launch a new platform. Progress went from scattered to visible. - SOPs and RACI matrices at DCP Global. Standardizing documentation across 17 global teams contributed to a 30%+ jump in productivity. TOOLS I USE DAILY - AI: Claude (Chat, Code, Cowork), ChatGPT (Chat, Codex), Gemini - Project management: Jira, Trello, Smartsheet, Slack - Other: Advanced Excel and Google Sheets, CRM systems, Canva BACKGROUND - Software Development diploma, SAIT (2025), with honors, 3.95 GPA - BS Information Technology, Benguet State University
