Background

About Leah Simon

I’m an HR professional who believes that strong organizations are built when people, processes, and purpose align. With 8+ years of experience across the employee lifecycle, I’ve supported growing teams through thoughtful HR practices rooted in empathy and efficiency. My background includes hands-on experience in areas like payroll administration, budgeting, workforce forecasting, and HR data reporting — all essential for helping leaders make informed, people-first decisions. I enjoy working behind the scenes to make sure things run smoothly, from accurate payroll processing to planning ahead for future hiring needs. Some areas I’m especially proud of: • Managing payroll and benefits for a team of 50 with accuracy and care • Partnering with finance to forecast headcount and optimize HR budgets • Streamlining reporting and improving visibility through better HR data • Supporting teams through change with clear communication and steady guidance Whether I’m building reports, managing systems, or helping someone navigate a career transition, my goal is the same: to support people and help organizations thrive. I'm currently open to new opportunities where I can continue to bring both structure and heart to a team. If you’re looking for someone who blends operational know-how with a people-first mindset, I’d love to connect.
