Background

About Maureen Jacinto

With over 7 years of experience across the full HR lifecycle, I’ve grown from hands-on recruitment roles to leading as an Interim HR Manager—guiding people strategy, building processes from the ground up, and helping remote and global teams thrive. Currently leading HR at Storylines at Sea, I’ve supported the company through growth and transition phases—implementing people-first solutions, managing compliance, and optimizing recruitment and onboarding for a distributed workforce. My journey spans a range of roles: Corporate and agency recruiting, where I honed my skills in sourcing, applicant tracking systems (ATS), and high-volume hiring. HR generalist work, where I dove into employee relations, policy implementation, and process improvement. Leadership, where I now own the HR function and partner with execs to align people operations with business goals. What sets me apart? I combine empathy, structure, and agility—balancing strategic thinking with execution. I thrive in dynamic, multicultural, and remote-first environments, and I take pride in creating spaces where people feel heard, supported, and set up for success. I’m open to remote HR opportunities, particularly in fast-growing companies looking for someone to lead or strengthen their people operations with both heart and discipline.
