@leonoradammer
I manage payroll, HR operations, and multilingual communication across international organizations.
What I'm looking for
I've managed payroll, employee records, onboarding, and compliance for AMETEK GmbH, Deutsche Foamglas, Taurus Baukonzept, and VPmed Steuern und Finanzen.
At AMETEK, I handled payroll and personnel matters, supported social security institutions and tax offices, and maintained NAPA3, SuccessFactors, Personio, and Dynamics4U.
My HR work spans DACH support, personnel master data, social security registrations, reporting, and complex public-sector case processing. I hold the Bachelor Professional of Human Resources Management (CCI) qualification and SAP HR training.
Since 2015, I've also worked as a freelance translator and language mediator, interpreting in hospitals, legal hearings, surgeries, municipalities, and social services. I communicate fluently in Albanian, German, and English.
