2. RESUME Sharon Herde
JBM Projects Pty Ltd, Murarrie Qld
2008 to March 2015
From my initial employment in 2008, my role within JBM developed and evolved from general
Reception-Admin support to that of primary Business Administrator. Over my 6 ½ year tenure the role’s
growth was commensurate with the businesses rapid expansion.
In 2008 I took care of the minimal general admin tasks required for this start-up fledgling
Shopfitting and Project Management business, whilst instituting the businesses foundation admin
processes and protocols.
By 2012 I primarily managed front reception, provided admin support to the Director, two Project
Managers, an Interior Designer and a sizeable Manufacturing/Site Installation team. I also took on
accountability of front-end Accounts Payable and Receivable processing and managed the critical
business admin functionalities like commercial licensing, OHS documentation maintenance and
management, Insurance/QLeave/Workcover documentation management and HR. Such was the
continued increase in workload demand that a full-time Junior Administrator was hired to share the
load. Hiring, up-skilling, training and supervising this team member as well as coordinating the division
of labour and responsibilities for the two newly created administrative positions was my responsibility.
During 2013 I coordinated the migration of tasks and the integration of the new admin team member
into the business, ever conscious of ensuring no loss of support to the Project Management, Design and
Manufacturing teams. I devoted numerous additional hours, outside of contractual obligation,
throughout the year to undertake this task. I gradually removed myself from the simple day-to-day
admin accountabilities and focused on the ever increasing accounts and Business Administration
responsibilities.
In January 2014 I assumed full accountability for Accounts Payable and Receivable and the businesses
management functions only. My responsibilities were to oversee adequate daily support to the team,
manage the effective functioning of the office, supervise the junior team member, maintain the
businesses commercial admin accountabilities, act as conduit between clients and suppliers and
manage the ebb and flow of income versus outgoing.
Initially employed for 10hrs/pw I resigned from the final evolution of my role in November 2014 when it
became apparent that, despite sharing the workload with a full-time junior administrator, the demands
of the business had outgrown the maximum 24hours per week I was able to commit to.
During my tenure I have come full circle by transitioning through the various administrative roles
required within an expanding business, recently completing handover and training of the two new full-
time admin team members, now required for the businesses continued future growth.
Reason for leaving: As the business rapidly expanded, there was a commensurate expansion in the
scope of administration duties, responsibilities and accountabilities within my role. Two admin team
members are now required to meet the increased demands and provide full-time support. The business
outgrew the part-time commitment I was able to make.
