@basmahamra
Senior payroll and HR professional specializing in international payroll operations.
What I'm looking for
I am a collaborative, results-driven payroll professional with over 10 years managing payroll for both local and international employees. I deliver service excellence, drive process improvements, and support global mobility operations.
At Skuld I manage payroll, benefits, pensions, insurance and expatriate support while overseeing HR systems as a superuser and coordinating annual salary and bonus processes. In prior roles I led payroll operations for international companies, contractors on EOR contracts, and large-scale payrolls for multi-thousand employee populations.
I have implemented and supported ERP/payroll systems (UNIT4, Visma) for new and existing clients, contributed to key implementations, and assisted in onboarding clients to payroll platforms. My work emphasizes compliance, accurate statutory reporting, and responsive employee support.
I am independent, communicative, and solution-oriented, committed to maintaining high standards in payroll accuracy, reporting to Norwegian authorities, and improving HR/payroll workflows to support business needs.
