What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters growth, values employee experience, promotes inclusive and fair practices, and offers the freedom to work remotely or from anywhere.

I am a dedicated HR & Rewards Junior Manager with a strong background in overseeing the end-to-end employee lifecycle. Currently, I lead People Operations at Blue Ventures, where I provide strategic HR support to managers and employees across multiple countries. My role involves developing and implementing global policies that align with organizational goals and legal requirements, ensuring compliance and enhancing employee experience.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed payroll accuracy, achieving a 98% accuracy rate, and have driven process improvements in HR operations. I have conducted salary benchmarking and job evaluations, leading to the creation of salary bands approved by senior leadership. My experience includes managing annual global pay reviews and overseeing benefits implementation, ensuring employee satisfaction and compliance.

With a CIPD Level 5 qualification, I am passionate about creating efficient, people-centric HR solutions that drive organizational success. I thrive in dynamic environments and am committed to fostering inclusive workplaces through effective HR practices.
