What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Global People Operations Manager with 11+ years of experience specializing in HR Process Automation, Global Compliance Management, and multi-jurisdiction Labour Law Compliance.

In my current role, I own Workday HCM configuration and HR Process Automation to support PEO/EOR service delivery and continuous Labour Law Compliance across diverse international jurisdictions. I lead expert-level troubleshooting for Workday and HiBob integrations, automating recruiting, Contract Preparation, and worker classification workflows to deliver rapid, compliant global hiring for distributed teams—while partnering with HR, IT, and Finance to integrate complex international payroll processes.
Previously, I ensured the accurate execution of multi-jurisdiction Payroll Processing for exempt and non-exempt employees across North and South America, and I standardized HR processes to promote operational consistency and compliance. Earlier, I managed HR and payroll operations across 42 U.S. states and Canada with a strong focus on labour law compliance, HRIS integration automation, and Learning & Development programs that improve managerial effectiveness and employee performance.
