ABOUT THE ROLE

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.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Configure timekeeping and compliance policies in the system to support a growing hourly workforce, ensuring accurate pay, scheduling, and compliance with labor regulations.
• Identify manual, error-prone processes and lead automation projects that reduce administrative work and improve data accuracy.

• Conduct regular system audits, reconciliations, and testing to maintain accurate, compliant, and secure People data.
• Maintain clear documentation of system configurations, workflows, and policies so they are easy to reference and update as we grow.
• Stay current on product releases, patches, and industry best practices, proactively recommending opportunities to improve system performance and internal workflows.

HRIS Management and Technical Support

• Act as a primary administrator for People systems, including configuration, user permissions, organizational structures, and master data.

• Build and maintain dashboards and reports that give the People team, PBPs, Finance, and leadership clear, actionable insights on headcount, hiring, attrition, compensation, and more.
• Provide expert support and training to People team members and managers, ensuring they are confident using systems and have what they need to be successful.
• Develop and maintain a library of job aids, process documentation, and knowledge base articles to enable self-service.

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Collaborate with IT, Payroll, Finance, Legal, and Data teams to ensure People systems integrate seamlessly with company infrastructure and support business goals.
• Partner with People leadership to prioritize system enhancements and technology investments that enable us to scale effectively.
• Manage vendor relationships by monitoring SLAs, coordinating on issue resolution, and influencing vendor roadmaps to meet business needs.
• Work with cross-functional partners to identify process gaps, test solutions, and implement improvements that make systems more efficient and user-friendly.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years of experience in People Operations or HR technology roles, ideally in a high-growth or rapidly changing environment.
• Hands-on experience with HRIS configuration, system builds, and end-to-end implementations (Rippling, Greenhouse, Chart Hop, Workday, or equivalent strongly preferred).
