What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a people-operations role where I can run end-to-end HR for distributed teams, strengthen compliance and HR infrastructure, and use HR analytics dashboards to guide hiring, performance, and workforce planning.

I’m a strategic people operations leader with 4+ years of progressive experience building and running end-to-end people operations across multi-country environments in Africa. I bring proven expertise in recruitment, onboarding, HR policy development, staff management, and HR systems implementation—grounded in deep knowledge of East African labour law and donor-compliant HR operations (USAID, BMGF).

In my current role at the International Potato Center (CIP), I’m a primary HR business partner for 200+ staff across 5 countries, ensuring compliance with local labour laws, tax regulations, and donor requirements. I’ve led full-cycle recruitment and built scalable ATS workflows that reduced time-to-fill by 30%, delivered HRIS-integrated onboarding, and supported multi-country performance management cycles, while producing workforce analytics dashboards (Power BI, Excel) to inform headcount planning and strategic decisions.
