A people-first professional with an operator’s mindset.
Hi, I’m Arooj.
I’m a strategic HR generalist with 4+ years of progressive experience across HR management, talent acquisition, procurement, sales operations and cross-functional coordination. I’ve built recruitment pipelines, prepared payroll data, kept HR records audit-ready and been the trusted point of contact for employees and leadership.
My sales background means I understand targets, CRMs and clients — and my Computer Science degree (4.00 CGPA) means I’m at home with HRIS, data and new tools.
