Victoria Thoms
@victoriathoms
HR operations and HRIS specialist scaling employee lifecycle, benefits, and data integrity through automation and compliant processes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a People Operations professional with 7+ years of experience specializing in HRIS Administration, Benefits Administration, and Employee Lifecycle Management. I’ve helped scale HR operations for fast-paced manufacturing teams while maintaining high data integrity across employee records, payroll, and benefits.
In my current role as a Human Resources Operations Specialist, I administer end-to-end HRIS and People Operations for a 50-employee facility, executing weekly payroll and benefits administration and owning onboarding through leave administration. I’ve also led process improvements like a complete employee handbook rewrite (reducing documentation by 40%) and secured a $36,000 state training grant to fund workforce development—while using KPI dashboards and workforce metrics to support data-driven staffing and planning.
