HR Generalist delivering compliant, data-driven employee lifecycle support across multi-country teams.
GhanaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an HR Generalist with 4.5+ years of progressive, hands-on experience managing the full employee lifecycle across multi-country, remote-first operations spanning West and Central Africa. I serve as the sole onsite HR focal point for all Ghana operations, advising managers, processing employee changes, administering benefits, liaising with finance on payroll, and driving policy compliance. I also support Nigeria remotely—working independently at pace while applying critical thinking to automate administrative workflows and produce data-driven HR reports for leadership decisions.
I coordinate diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging initiatives across 5 African countries and partner with cross-functional teams to maintain consistency of HR policy application across distributed, multicultural operations. In my recent roles, I automated a manual payroll allowance workflow using PowerApps, improved onboarding consistency, maintained audit-ready employee files in SAP SuccessFactors and cloud-based systems, and sustained expatriate work-permit renewal compliance. I bring a fearless, principled approach, with an unwavering commitment to confidentiality, high professional standards, and continuous learning of EMEA employment frameworks.
