What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an HR Operations or HR Project role where I can lead global initiatives that improve processes and operational excellence, partner with cross-functional stakeholders, and use HR technology to deliver measurable, sustainable results.

I’m an HR Operations Project Manager who leads and supports global HR initiatives focused on process improvement, operational efficiency, stakeholder engagement, and project delivery across multiple regions. I coordinate project activities, governance, communications, and cross-functional collaboration to drive sustainable business solutions.

Previously, I worked as an HR Operations Specialist supporting HR operations across Latin America and North America, managing complex escalations, HR systems issues, data integrations, and continuous improvement initiatives. I conducted root cause analysis and partnered with cross-functional teams to improve service delivery and operational effectiveness, and I also managed payroll validation, benefits administration, employee lifecycle transactions, leave management, reporting, and workforce administration processes in Brazil.

Earlier in my career, I supported logistics operations through inventory controls, WMS/ERP system updates, reverse logistics activities, and process improvement initiatives. With postgraduate training in Neuroscience and Applied Psychology and a Business Administration degree, I bring a structured, evidence-minded approach to continuous improvement—supported by tools like Workday, ADP, ServiceNow, and Microsoft Power Platform.
