Currently working as a Payroll Consultant in Bahrain, I bring over 15 years of multifaceted experience across the FMCG, Healthcare, and Food & Beverages industries. My core focus is in Human Resources, where I have developed deep expertise in Payroll Administration and Configurations, Compensation Management, Employee Self Services, Time & Attendance, Talent Management in SAP HR - On premise and Successfactor EC, Compensation and Reports. In my current consulting role, I manage end to end payroll processing and ensure compliance with local labor laws and statutory bodies, including the Social Insurance Organization (SIO), Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA), and Tamkeen support services.

Throughout my career, I have held key roles such as SAP ABAP Developer, Compensation Module Specialist, Payroll Specialist, and Personnel & Organization Management Configurator. I have successfully contributed to and led Employee and Manager Self-Service (ESS/MSS) , Compensation Management implementation projects, combining technical proficiency with strategic IT project management skills.

My technical capabilities extend beyond SAP HR into modules such as SAP Sales, SAP Master Data Management (Vendor and Material), and SAP Finance & Controlling (FICO), serving in roles like Techno-Functional Consultant and Solution Architect. In the Food and Beverages sector, I also managed HR administration and payroll processing, particularly within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

Additionally, I’ve supported healthcare organizations by delivering IT solutions tailored to healthcare systems and applications. My earlier experience includes working as a Financial Analyst, where I was responsible for generating detailed financial reports and insights for senior management.
