@lanabenedisiuk
I build HR operations and people programs for international tech teams.
What I'm looking for
At L4B Software, I built the DACH HR function from the ground up, designing onboarding, digitising recruitment through Greenhouse and Zoho, and owning TISAX and ISO audit work.
I've managed the full employee lifecycle, contracts, recruiting, HR systems, payroll coordination, and employer-branding initiatives while partnering directly with executive leadership. I later expanded into commercial operations for the CTO office, building sales processes in Confluence and coordinating contracts, client negotiations, and major accounts.
I bring calm structure and end-to-end process ownership from international tech, scale-up, corporate, and consulting environments including L4B, ACONEXT/Knorr-Bremse, Lilium, and Mercedes-Benz Vans. I work best in organised international teams where I can build reliable people operations that last.
