Senior HRIS Analyst

ABOUT THE JOB

The Senior HRIS Analyst is the person who makes sure our People systems work the way they should: accurate, efficient, and easy for employees to use. You’ll spend part of your time ensuring day-to-day operations running smoothly and part of your time improving on status quo: building new workflows, cleaning up data, and finding ways to make processes less manual and more scalable.

We’re looking for an HRIS Analyst who can help us with implementations, systems builds, and integrations - someone who can take business needs, translate them into system requirements, and deliver solutions that work. You’ll partner with cross-functional teams to bring new tools online, test changes, and make sure our systems talk to each other the way they should.

This role is hands-on but strategic. You will own key parts of the HRIS environment, work with partners to solve problems, and guide the rollout of new functionality. You’ll train users, create documentation, and keep a close eye on data integrity so our team can make good decisions based on reliable information.
