Evolution from Operations Associate to Head of Operations, driving platform growth for an international US EdTech audience.

EdTechSaaSOperationsGrowthB2B

The Journey

Over my 9-year tenure at Transweb Educational Services (Transtutors.com), I scaled from handling direct student queries as an Operations Associate to the Head of Operations, where I took product ownership for the entire Transtutors platform serving global learners, universities, and B2B clients.

Key Phases of Impact

1. The Operations Foundation (2012–2015)

I started on the ground floor, speaking directly with students. This hands-on experience gave me an unparalleled empathy for the user. I tracked recurring pain points and feature requests, which later became the cornerstone of my data-driven product decisions.

2. Leadership & Process Scaling (2015–2018)

As a Team Lead, I managed a 24/7 global support team focusing on major US EdTech clients.

  • Challenge: Inconsistent service quality during high-volume periods.
  • Solution: Restructured workflows and implemented strict SLA monitoring.
  • Result: Significantly improved service quality metrics and team operational effectiveness.

3. Product Ownership & Executive Impact (2018–2021)

Stepping into the Head of Operations role, my responsibilities expanded to include Service Ops, GTA, Content, and formal Product Ownership for the site.

  • Owned the end-to-end website experience.
  • Partnered with engineering and design to streamline user flows.
  • Drove increased operational efficiency, allowing our content operations to scale exponentially to meet the demands of international academic cycles.
