What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead HR operations and payroll, improve compliance and processes, develop people, and use HR analytics to drive retention and performance.

I am an HR professional with over a decade of experience across payroll administration, performance management, employee relations, and compliance, primarily within South Africa and multi-regional teams. I combine hands-on operational execution with strategic HR support to ensure accurate payroll, regulatory adherence, and effective talent acquisition.

Throughout my career I have led end-to-end recruitment, maintained HRIS accuracy, administered benefits and payroll, and conducted training and disciplinary processes that improved compliance and employee engagement. Notable achievements include developing SOPs to streamline HR operations, coordinating international hiring and work-permit processes, and using HR analytics to inform retention and recruitment improvements.

I am proactive, detail-oriented, and committed to building inclusive, compliant workplaces through process optimization, employee development, and clear HR governance.
