Ellimaija Tanskanen

I am a project manager with experience in business operations improvement as well as people and culture projects. I help growing businesses get and stay organised in their operations by creating processes and common practices for teams, supporting internal communications and building a solid team culture to ensure the success of the business in the long run.

I have experience working in a startup as project manager, supporting a variety of projects related to scaling up operations such as improving performance processes, restructuring teams, setting up employee performance reviews in line with business strategy, creating and implementing a culture code, creating internal communications guidelines, implementing an intranet, and advising on diversity and inclusion practices.

I have also experience in sales, marketing, and PR, which gives me a broad overview of the needs and particularities of different departments within a business and makes me an agile member of the team that can hop in on a variety of projects.

I want to be an extension to my customer's team for the duration of the project by truly understanding the needs and context of the project. My priority is always to deliver top-quality work, and I am very flexible and will adapt my approach to the project according to its scope and our common view of the best way to work together.

Some examples of topics I can support you with:

- Standard Operating Procedures and improving internal processes in your team

- Planning and strategising internal communications

- Implementing new tools for your team's collaboration

- Designing company culture and employer branding

- Improving diversity and inclusion practices

- Setting up and analysing employee satisfaction and engagement surveys
