Zana Kaka

I am a seasoned operations leader with over 19 years of experience managing complex life support services and integrated facilities management across the Oil & Gas and Humanitarian sectors. My career is defined by a commitment to operational excellence, having spent the last 11 years driving stability and growth within a major Oil & Gas service company. During this time, I have successfully overseen multi-disciplinary teams and executed high-value international service contracts that demand rigorous attention to detail and strategic foresight. Prior to my work in Oil & Gas, I dedicated 8 years to the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) in the Humanitarian Mine Action sector. This role honed my ability to manage high-pressure logistics and maintain strict international donor compliance in challenging environments. As a certified ISO Internal Auditor (9001:2015 & 22000:2018), I bring expert-level proficiency in HACCP, HSE systems, and complex tendering processes. I am currently based in Erbil, Iraq, and have developed a robust workflow for managing large-scale projects that require a high degree of autonomy. I am specifically looking for a remote or hybrid leadership role where I can apply my expertise in compliance and integrated facilities management to help an organization scale its international operations. I am an "async-friendly" professional who thrives on clear documentation and structured communication. I am available to start within a standard notice period and am eager to bring my nearly two decades of on-the-ground leadership to a forward-thinking remote team.
