HR Operations Manager with 12+ years supporting remote teams through end-to-end lifecycle.
What I'm looking for
I’m an HR Operations Manager with 12+ years of remote experience supporting U.S.-based and international teams, including 6+ years across HR operations and employee lifecycle administration. I’m known for structured follow-through, clear communication, and sensitive, confidential case handling.
In my People Operations work, I drive onboarding/offboarding, employment documentation readiness, and HR case triage with escalation follow-up. I also support benefits administration and leave documentation, manage PTO/UPT reviews, and assist with payroll-related and I-9 documentation needs.
Most recently, I managed HR cases across the employment lifecycle—including recruitment support, ATS tracking, onboarding administration, and offboarding support. I handled sensitive employee inquiries involving benefits administration, medical leave approvals and denials, accommodation documentation, and workers compensation support, while maintaining compliance records and producing recurring HR reporting.
I bring bilingual English/Spanish communications to recruitment and onboarding, and I improve outcomes through repeatable workflows, SOPs, playbooks, and reusable templates. I’ve worked hands-on with Workday, ADP, Salesforce, Google Workspace, MS Office, Slack, Notion, and Asana.
