HR Generalist and People Operations specialist driving scalable people processes for globally remote teams.
AlbaniaWhat I'm looking for
I am an organized, self-motivated HR and People Operations professional with 9+ years supporting fast-growing tech teams in fully remote, asynchronous environments. I focus on aligning HR decisions with business needs while empowering individuals and organizations to reach their potential.
I've built end-to-end onboarding workflows, standardized employment and contractor agreements, and maintained payroll data integrity to ensure operational accuracy for globally distributed teams.
I rebuilt recruiting operations post-funding, implemented ATS and standardized hiring processes to scale headcount efficiently, and launched employee handbooks and simplified performance review cycles to guide managers and employees.
I maintain strong engagement outcomes—having driven initiatives that produced an eNPS of +44—and I partner closely with managers and external partners (EORs, legal, finance) to deliver compliant, consistent people operations across multiple countries.
