HR Operations & HRIS specialist with 8+ years improving Workday data governance and workforce analytics.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Human Resources information systems and people operations specialist with 8+ years driving data governance and system deployment across globally distributed organisations. I specialise in optimising cloud-based HR technology architecture through root-cause analysis, system auditing, and scalable process design.
I’ve improved HR data integrity to 85% and reduced onboarding cycle times by 30% (and up to 32%) through rigorous compliance tracking, Workday testing, and system optimisation. I also reduce friction for teams by compressing onboarding administration timelines, building workforce dashboards, and cutting repeat support queries by creating self-service documentation and digital training assets for remote partners.
I’m seeking to apply my expertise in HRIS configuration and workforce analytics to an HR Operations Manager role. I’m especially motivated by success in system implementation and remote-first team enablement, supported by strong access governance, policy configuration, and audit-ready operational processes.
