My career at Beyondsoft

As a business operation analyst, I work in the business management office, where I wear multiple hats. My primary role is to collect and analyze data from different departments and share this information with company stakeholders. I also perform contract management and interface with IT to design and oversee workflows to review contracts, assess risks, and ensure compliance.

When I’m not busy with data analysis and contracts management, I help manage a variety of projects across departments, such as setting up new entities in other countries as we expand into new markets. When the business team needs to hire a contractor, I participate in this process as well, performing background checks and reviewing credentials.

What I love most about my role

Beyondsoft is truly a great place to work, and the variety of responsibilities has allowed me to expand my expertise in business and economics. I’ve gained broad exposure to how a global IT consulting company operates, and I’ve grown my business knowledge by interfacing with the leadership team and learning what factors into making decisions. My role has also helped me to build my communication skills and data analytics capabilities.

I truly love the people here at Beyondsoft. This is my first career role since graduating with a master’s degree in Singapore and moving to the US (I’m originally from China). My colleagues have been very supportive and awesome to work with, making my transition into a new culture and career much easier.

I also appreciate the speed at which we move. Even though we are a large company, people here are very flexible and move quickly.

When I’m not working

I’m a big foodie and enjoy sampling dishes from different countries. I’m always experimenting with new recipes and love checking out new restaurants.

When I’m not cooking or eating, I enjoy watching movies and reading books. My favorite movie is Little Miss Sunshine and my favorite book is Norwegian Wood. Sometimes I also volunteer at my son’s school.

Something most people don’t know about me

Real estate fascinates me, and I’m considering becoming a realtor in my retirement years.

Marketing: Do you work in-office or remote? What are your biggest productivity tips for that environment?

Most of us look at what is in it for me and why company not providing this and that… If you are senior (say 10 year’ experience) then you are integral part of company hence you need to be part of the problem to come up with solution. When you say why company is not providing so and so then you are not considering yourself as part of organization. My suggestion is own the problem for better solution. ?

Marketing:?What’s your MBTI??

Answer:? Think by wearing others hat. Six thinking hats helps me perform role better and provide better services to my customer.

Marketing:?Recommendation time: Is there anything you currently love and want to share? This can be a podcast, book, tv show, music, activity – you name it!?

Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do at BeyondExpect.

I’m the Recruiter for Beyondsoft in Costa Rica. I started this amazing journey since September 2021.

What do you like most about your job??

The opportunity I have to help people find a position in which they will shine. Meeting candidates, listening about their lives and professional experiences, and learning from them is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.

Where do you see yourself professionally in 10 years?

In ten years, I’d like to find myself in a leadership position within the Recruitment area. Sharing my experience and helping others to build a successful career path and achieve what I’ve accomplished.

What advice would you give new hires??

?

The first and most important advice: Trust yourself! You are here because recruiters and hiring managers agreed that you were prepared for this new challenge. Ask for help when needed and be open to receive feedback. Learn from your mistakes and always have a positive attitude.

Throughout your life, what do you consider to be your biggest accomplishment so far??

One of my biggest accomplishments was the opportunity I had to serve as a volunteer for almost two years in Brazil. This experience opened my eyes and helped me understand that simple actions can change someone’s life and a simple smile can brighten someone’s day. Through this experience I understood what really matters in life.

What does true leadership mean to you?

True leadership means being a good listener, put yourself in the shoes of another, help others to develop their potential and make each team member feel valued. A good leader motivates and inspires!

What does true leadership mean to you?

It means serving others, identifying talent and nurturing it, establishing relationships that can grow with?clients, employees and stakeholders. It means learning from your mistakes, never yielding to pride and?working side by side with your team. Leaders embrace change and challenges, and help others get?through difficulties through guidance and partnership.

If you could time travel, where and when would you go? Why?

I would probably choose going 100 years in the future. It would be a mind-blowing experience.

What is the most important thing you have?learned in the last five years??

The most important thing I’ve learned can be summed up in a single phrase: ‘’What’s meant to be will always find its way.’’

What would be the title of your autobiography??

A life with purpose.

Recommendation time: Is there anything you are currently loving and want to share? This?can be a podcast, book, tv show, music, activity … you name it!

I’m passionate about psychological thriller films! Would recommend watching Shutter Island, Seven and The Silence of the Lambs.

Thanks for letting us get to know more about you, Mariana!?
