Operations Consultant - Process Improvement and SOPs

Cover image for Redesigned a bank's customer onboarding
Redesigned a bank's customer onboarding process, reducing account-opening time from 30–60 minutes to 5 minutes (~90% improvement). Eliminated two major bottlenecks: - Replaced a 30-page booklet with a single signed document linking to online terms. - Shifted real-time Compliance verification to next-working-day reviews using dedicated system reports. Introduced two-stage account activation: immediate access to deposits and debit cards, while transfers and loan applications required Compliance approval on the account opening. Improved efficiency and supported customer acquisition.

A multi-national financial entity required standardized operating procedures across multiple countries to ensure compliance and consistency. I performed discovery sessions with the relevant parties and developed comprehensive SOPs for branch and head-office operations, aligning workflows with institutional compliance standards. The result was the establishing of unified control frameworks across regions, reducing operational risk and ensuring consistent service delivery.

Cover image for An educational institution relied on
An educational institution relied on email-based requests for transfer credit processing, resulting in fragmented communication, limited tracking, and unclear task ownership. I analyzed the existing workflow and helped redesign it into a structured digital process with dedicated request forms, clear responsibilities, centralized status tracking, and simplified task reassignment. The new workflow improved accountability, streamlined follow-ups, and provided better visibility into request progress and completion.

An education-sector client needed to implement a custom enterprise tool for issuing digital certificates while minimizing disruption to daily operations. I managed User Acceptance Testing (UAT), oversaw system implementation, developed the User Manual, and conducted staff training on the new workflows. The project resulted in a successful go-live with full operational support, ensuring smooth staff adoption and system stability.
