Isabelle Smith

About

I'm a proactive Virtual Assistant with experience working across business functions, including HR, operations, marketing, project management, events and social media. With over 10 years working as an Executive Assistant and Events Manager and over 8 years working in start-up and scale-up environments, I am adept at managing and overseeing a full range of operational responsibilities to maximise efficiency and operational success. I get to know your business and understand your requirements, so that I can provide fantastic support for both you, your team and your clients.

What sets me apart from others is my attention to detail and the high quality of my work. I have a strong academic background, with a 2:1 bachelors degree from a top 5 university, the London School of Economics (LSE), and straight A-B grades at school. My written grammar is excellent, so you can rest assured that emails, marketing copy and other written communications will be to a professional standard.

I don't have many reviews on Bark because I work with long-term clients over a number of years and gain new clients through referrals, so I rarely use Bark.

Whether you need me to manage a project or your social media strategy, deal with all back-office operations, or a particular area of responsibility as part of your existing team, I can hit the ground running. I’m adaptable to change and I work with strong initiative, anticipating business needs so that you can focus on scaling your business.

My areas of expertise include:
Diary management, email handling, events management, project management, web design and maintenance, copywriting, social media management, marketing strategy, bookkeeping and finance, email campaigns, personal errands, presentation creation, implementing and managing HR process, recruitment & hiring, designing marketing collateral, community building, building company culture, budget management, contract management and drafting contracts, reviewing legal documentation, and more.

I am dedicated to optimising operational success and can help you streamline your business by creating and implementing effective tools, systems and processes that will save you both time and money. I am also very experienced with social media and can create and implement a strategy to improve your online presence.

I am particularly interested in the Tech and Events industries, as well as Psychology and wellbeing as I hold a Level 3 qualification in Counselling, but I work across all industries.

I am a hardworking, friendly and positive person. Although I work virtually, I’m more than happy to meet my clients in person occasionally for face to face meetings if required.

Please get in contact if you would like to work with me.
