April Joy V.

Top-Rated Plus | Operations & Systems Leader | VA Mentor | Cold Email

Hi, I’m April. I'm a systems-focused operator and team builder for scaling service businesses. Over the past decade, I’ve partnered with founders, marketing teams, and executives to create clarity in their operations. In my most recent role as Head of Operations for a multi–seven–figure B2B agency, I helped scale the business through systems design, team hiring, and people management. I led a team of over 20 across delivery, support, and sales operations, and personally recruited more than 40 culture-fit hires using a structured, documented process. “My business would not have reached its level of success without her.” – Founder Whether you need help setting up internal SOPs, scaling cold email outreach, organizing your VA team, or optimizing your hiring pipeline, I build frameworks that grow with your company. 🧰 Tools I Work With Daily: Operations & PM: ClickUp, Notion, Trello, Monday.com, Asana Recruiting & HR: Google Workspace, Loom, Calendly, Jobstreet, Upwork Talent, Onlinejobs.ph, LinkedIn Cold Email: Instantly, Apollo, Lemlist, Mailshake, Sheet-based trackers, QuickMail, Clay, AWS CRM & Sales Ops: HubSpot, Pipedrive, Active Campaign Documentation: Google Docs/Sheets, Notion SOP libraries, Loom asyncs 💼 What I Deliver: - Organizational maps, hiring playbooks, and onboarding frameworks - CRM & data management for cold outreach and B2B prospecting - Remote team accountability systems, daily/weekly ops dashboards - SOP libraries with embedded Loom tutorials & instructions - Full VA recruitment, training programs, and leadership guidance 🧠 Clients Say: “One of the best freelancers I’ve ever hired, smart, loyal, takes direction well, and delivers fast.” “She knows over a dozen tools across ops and marketing - total asset.” “Great communication, structured thinker, and calm under pressure.” “Meticulous and professional, with great attention to detail.” 📈 Search Fund, Research & Finance Work: I’ve supported multiple U.S.-based search funds and finance firms with business screening, prospect research, CRM cleanup, and investor-ready data tracking. I’ve validated acquisition targets, conducted cold outreach list building, and helped bring LOI-stage deals closer to closing. “She’s very diligent and adapts quickly to the task or situation at hand.” “April did a great job calling to validate data. Professional, clear communicator, and always on time.” My approach is structured yet human. I build clarity into your backend, enabling your team to move faster, think less, and execute better. If you're scaling and feel like your ops are lagging behind your vision, I can help.
