Sales, Marketing and IT

• Jan 2006 - Jan 2016

Worked part and full time at SIRI, a leading retail store in the Faroe Islands. Responsibilities included: invoicing, pricing, sales, managing inventory, collecting and analysing sales data and evaluating market opportunities. In 2012, I was chosen to be the executive producer of a magazine by SIRI, which would be distributed to every household in the Faroe Islands. Managing such a big project demonstrated my ability to work in a team, communication skills, and my ability to meet strict deadlines. I always aim for perfection and I am meticulous in everything I do, paying great attention to detail. The magazine was successful and had a significant impact on sales, which then led to its recurring publication.In 2011 SIRI updated its computer software from Navision C5 to Microsoft Dynamics. I was named to be responsible for the implementation of the new system, as well as teaching the staff to use it. The system was successfully applied and adapted to SIRI's need and is still in use today.
