Erin in a few words
I offer Online Business Manager services, specialising in Project Management, working with socially-driven businesses, b-corps and small charities to streamline your processes, build team morale and productivity, and oversee your day to day operations.
I will take it all off your shoulders, so you can stay focused on achieving your mission. I can be your strategic partner, team manager, or organisation expert, here to alleviate the weight on your shoulders. This might include organising your systems and processes, managing and co-ordinating projects or people, or staying on top of the daily administrative tasks that swamp out the bigger picture of your mission.
I love(!) all things organisation; there is nothing better than taking the chaos and turning it into an executable plan or task list. Even more, I love connecting with and supporting people like you who need a reliable, and knowledgable right hand partner taking care of the day-to-day so you can focus on helping those that you set out to help in the first place!
No matter what the task, rest assured we've got it under control, keeping honesty and enthusiasm at the heart of everything I do.
