Senior HRBP @ Exelegent

About

I’m a Senior HR Business Partner and People Operations leader with 5+ years of experience building scalable HR and talent infrastructure across 15+ countries in Europe, LATAM, North America, and Asia. My work sits at the intersection of people strategy, talent acquisition, HR operations, and automation. I help growing companies turn fragmented HR processes into structured systems that improve hiring quality, reduce operational friction, strengthen manager effectiveness, and support scale. Across my experience, I have: -Built and improved global hiring processes across distributed teams -Designed performance management frameworks, competency models, and manager enablement programs -Reduced onboarding time from 4 weeks to 10 days through process redesign and documentation --Supported 60+ annual hires with 85%+ target fulfillment and 90%+ offer acceptance -Implemented HR systems and workflow automations that reduced manual work and improved consistency at scale I bring a hybrid background across both HRBP and Talent Acquisition leadership, which allows me to connect business needs with practical people solutions — from org design and workforce planning to recruiting infrastructure, employee experience, and operational execution. I’m especially energized by fast-moving, international environments where HR is expected to be a true business partner, not just an administrative function. Currently based in Spain. Open to remote and hybrid opportunities across Europe.
