## About

```text
At Batterjee Medical College, I lead a personnel team of six supporting more than 600 employees across four campuses. I oversee monthly payroll and compliance across six Saudi government platforms.

I rebuilt contract renewals as a documented 12-step Odoo workflow and manage 20–30 contracts each month, from probation tracking to end-of-service settlements. I also closed medical insurance coverage gaps across more than 1,300 insured members.

At IKEA Saudi Arabia, I designed and implemented a new grading structure and salary scale, improving the compensation ratio by 28%. I also contributed to a 7% increase in retention by launching succession plans and career paths.

At Meem Holding, I built the HR and Administration function from the ground up, including its policies, processes, and payroll operations. My work also includes creating a Saudization hiring plan and supervising policy development that led to ISO 22301 Business Continuity certification.
