Overview
Neon Jungle produces a wide range of active projects and ongoing client work covering brand, design, and web. I started as a Web Applications Engineer, but moved quickly into a production role.
While in this role I was responsible for ~15 active clients at any one time, ensuring that projects were delivered on time, on budget, and always exceeding expectations.
Sales, scheduling, priority/task management, invoicing, and staff/client communication were all tasks I deal with day-to-day.
I drove business strategy, focused on improving processes, and always kept an eye out for staff wellbeing. While in this role I implemented a range of new processes that have turned the company from reactive to proactive. Our staff had less mental load, client relationships were stronger, and budget vs expenditure ratios have been improved.
