WiderFunnel

As an account and project manager, my role was assisting the lead strategist with conversion optimisation strategy by representing our client's needs. After the client approved the strategy, I handled all production and approvals through setting the right expectations with internal/external stakeholders to ensure project delivery.

In this role, I learnt a lot about conversion optimisation and the role of good UX/Analytics in strategy creation. It was also an opportunity to exercise my relationship management and communication skills. My client list including HP, IBM and ASICS, all of whom had very technical requirements that we had to troubleshoot through as a team and helped grow our problem solving skills considerably.

Account Manager

CodeCore Bootcamp

Hired as the first employee in a technology education bootcamp as the school was getting ready to open it's door. I had the opportunity to assist with the non-technical operations of the school, allowing the founders to focus on education and project work. Initially my role focused on admissions and marketing strategy in order to fill our classes. Once the company grew, I moved over to handle hiring partnerships and community development. It was a great experience to work in a small team and push myself to learn/grow as we established ourselves.

Business Development Manager

Strutta

My first role out of university in a fast paced sales first SaaS company. During my time at Strutta I learned the sales process from some of the best in the business. The experience ended with me at 135% of target over the 5 months and with Strutta being acquired after a pivot away from their sales first strategy.

The foundations I picked up then is what makes me the sales/marketing person I am today.
