What I'm looking for

I’m looking for fully remote work worldwide, including opportunities aligned with US and Canadian business hours. I’m available for employer-of-record or contractor arrangements.

As an independent HR & Payroll Operations Consultant in Tangier, I build HR and payroll operations from the ground up, including payroll calendars, approval workflows, employee files and record-retention rules. I also draft contracts and compliance documentation aligned with the Moroccan Labour Code and CNSS requirements.

At Group Imperial Skai Inc., I owned end-to-end payroll on ADP across four Canadian provinces, with no compliance penalties over five years. At Hotel El Oumnia Puerto, I directed HR and payroll and reduced employee turnover by 15% in two years. I’m based in Morocco and available for fully remote work worldwide.
