In 2003 she was in Geneva employed at El Salvador's Permanent Mission to the World Trade Organization.[2]
She worked as a Finance Specialist at the Inter-American Development Bank. In 2010 she formed a non-profit organisation named Mentoring International which provides mentors for young people in El Salvador.[2]
She was self employed when she became one of the last people to be appointed to President Nayib Bukele cabinet of eight men and eight women in 2019. She was appointed until 2024.[1] El Salvador has poor relative growth and Hayem plans to reactivate her country's economy.[3] Reactivation was affected by the Coronavirus pandemic when 110,000 Salvadorans lost their jobs.
