What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an HR role where I can lead scalable hiring, strengthen employee relations and compliance, and use data/automation to improve HR operations—ideally with room to own processes end-to-end and collaborate closely with leaders.

I’m an HR professional with 6+ years managing recruiting, employee relations, and compliance across Europe. I’ve worked remotely supporting multiple EU countries, most recently at Amazon, where I owned staffing analysis, HR operations, and process improvements.

I’m strongest in high-volume talent acquisition and performance-focused hiring. I developed a predictive analytics framework that prevented 879 low-performing rehires, avoiding ~$130K in cost, and delivered an additional ~$20K savings through language assessment vendor optimization.

I bring hands-on experience across the full employee lifecycle—onboarding/offboarding, contract reviews, and performance management—while ensuring regulatory compliance. I also lead cross-functional initiatives, standardize HR process documentation, and use Salesforce and iCIMS to automate repetitive HR workflows and reduce administrative workload by 30%.
