Amir H.

I build HR functions that work: organization structures, compensation and grading frameworks, policies and SOPs, and HR systems that small businesses can run independently and growing organizations can scale. I am a Certified Human Resources Executive (CHRE) with extensive HR leadership experience across Canada, the US, the GCC, and Asia Pacific, including senior roles at PepsiCo and in regulated banking and insurance. Based in Ontario and working in Eastern Time, with full overlap with US business hours. WHAT I DELIVER - Fractional HR management: end-to-end HR foundation for small and medium organizations, covering hiring, onboarding, payroll and benefits administration, employee relations, performance management, and offboarding. - Organization design: structures, reporting lines, role charters, and authority matrices that clarify who decides what. - Compensation and job architecture: job evaluation, grading (including Mercer), salary benchmarking, and pay structures. - HRIS and payroll implementation: Oracle HCM, Deel, BambooHR, Gusto, Rippling, and Zoho People, from process design to go-live. - Performance and talent: performance management, competency frameworks, succession planning, and leadership development. SELECTED RESULTS - Led an Oracle HCM reimplementation that had already failed once, taking it live across three companies, automating 41 HR processes, and saving approximately USD 1.8 million annually. - Raised employee engagement from 62% to 84% in two years at PepsiCo Pakistan Beverages, with compensation satisfaction rising from 32% to 68%. - Led an organizational redesign that reduced reporting layers from 15 to 8 and improved operational efficiency by 40%. - Delivered Mercer-based job evaluation and grading for the University of South Australia in staged phases. - Built complete HR functions from scratch for small businesses in Canada and the US, which the owners now run without ongoing HR support. WHAT CLIENTS SAY - "Amir is a consummate professional and delivers timely and quality services. He works well with teams and is an effective communicator." - "Amir did a great job and we will continue to use his services." HOW I WORK - Clear scope and milestones agreed upfront, with fixed-price options where they suit the project. - Documentation written so your team can use and maintain it without an HR background. - Regular progress updates at every milestone. Send me a short description of your situation and I will tell you how I would approach it.
