What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue supporting practical, people-focused HR operations where I can strengthen employee experience, recruitment, compliance, payroll coordination, and talent development across regional teams.

At Gensler, I support day-to-day HR across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh for more than 120 employees, partnering with Studio Directors, Managing Directors, and the Regional HR Director. I manage recruitment, onboarding and offboarding, employee relations, HR records, Workday updates, payroll inputs, benefits, and HR reporting.

I bring practical HR experience spanning UAE and KSA compliance, visas, work permits, labor contracts, Emiratisation, pensions, performance support, and employee engagement. My background in studio operations and executive support has strengthened my focus on clear communication, confidentiality, accuracy, and a positive employee experience.
