Growing your team and need experienced HR support? I help founders and managers establish practical HR processes, handle employee challenges and make informed decisions about hiring, performance and pay. I’m an HR professional with 9+ years of experience, including six years at global SaaS company LearnUpon. As Lead People Partner, I advise the COO, CTO, CFO and 30+ managers in a company of approximately 350 employees, and manage the People Partner supporting go-to-market teams. I offer project-based HR consulting and ongoing advisory support for startups, small businesses and international teams. HOW I CAN HELP • HR setup and process improvement Review your current HR practices, identify gaps and create a prioritised action plan. Develop practical policies, procedures, templates and manager guidance, with clear responsibilities for implementation. • Employee relations and manager support Help managers navigate difficult conversations, underperformance, workplace concerns and organisational change. Develop performance improvement plans, prepare communications and support sensitive employee matters in coordination with local employment counsel where needed. • Performance management and career development Build or improve review processes, feedback practices, calibration, promotion reviews and career paths. Create the templates and training managers need to use them consistently. • Compensation and salary reviews Develop salary bands, review guidance, budget scenarios and approval workflows. Help managers make and communicate pay decisions through a structured process. • Recruitment, onboarding and People Operations Support hiring processes, interview guidance, onboarding and offboarding workflows, employee documentation and HR systems. EXPERIENCE YOU CAN BUILD ON At LearnUpon, I designed and implemented an annual compensation review process in Lattice, partnering with Finance to deliver cycles within approved budgets. I also co-developed company-wide performance reviews; the Lattice process has achieved 100% completion across five years. My work includes establishing career paths and job levels, owning engagement surveys and helping managers turn employee feedback into action. Earlier in my career, I managed a seven-person HR administration and workplace team and worked across recruitment, benefits, payroll coordination and employee lifecycle operations. I bring both the senior-level perspective to advise your leadership team and the hands-on experience to build the processes and documentation behind that advice. My Cognitive Behavioural Coaching training also shapes how I help managers develop confidence and handle challenging conversations. Tools include Lattice, BambooHR, Greenhouse and Google Workspace. Tell me your team size, where your employees are based and the HR issue you want to address. We can agree on a focused project or an ongoing support arrangement that fits your business.
