What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-paced international team where I can own HR operations and global onboarding—building policies, improving workflows in HRIS tools, and partnering with leaders to deliver compliant, people-first support.

I’m a results-driven People and Business Operations Specialist with 5+ years of experience in HR administration, global onboarding, and streamlining operations across fast-paced international environments. I develop internal policies, manage employee lifecycles, and support stakeholders with confidentiality and discretion—backed by a strong foundation in International Relations and cross-cultural communication.

In my recent roles, I coordinated operations and talent onboarding for external collaborators, introduced structured onboarding documentation to improve consistency and ramp-up time, and optimized workflows using tools like Monday.com, SAP SuccessFactors, Bullhorn, and SharePoint. Previously, I authored the company’s first structured employee handbook for Spain, coordinated global onboarding and training across international offices, and helped drive a global language learning platform to strengthen cross-cultural communication.
