What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that emphasizes strategic HR development and employee satisfaction, talent acquisition, payroll, among others, ideally in a remote setting.

I am a driven Human Resources professional with over 10 years of experience in recruitment, talent management, and performance optimization. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed HR operations for teams of up to 160 employees, overseeing benefits administration, compliance with regulatory standards, and HR metrics reporting. My strategic approach has enhanced employee relations and engagement, leading to a 20% increase in team retention.

My expertise extends to developing compensation structures, fostering diversity and inclusion, and optimizing HR workflows to drive productivity. I have a proven track record in remote HR functions, including virtual recruitment and onboarding processes. I am eager to leverage my HR expertise in a remote HR Coordinator or Talent Management role that emphasizes strategic development and employee satisfaction.
