  • Build HR reports, dashboards, and analytics; support EEO-1, ACA, and other regulatory reporting
  • Train HR staff and end users on HRIS functionality and best practices

What You Bring

  • Minimum 5 years of progressive HRIS experience, including hands-on system administration, configuration, and workflow development
  • Demonstrated experience managing EDI integrations between an HRIS and benefit carriers or TPAs
  • Experience conducting HRIS audits and implementing system improvements
  • Direct experience with UKG Pro or UKG Ready
  • Bachelor's degree in HR, Information Systems, Business Administration, or related field (equivalent experience considered)
  • Strong Excel and data management skills
  • Experience implementing or optimizingan HRIS system

Preferred

  • Direct experience UKG Ready
  • UKG Pro/Ready certification
  • SHRM-CP/SCP, PHR/SPHR
  • Experience in a nonprofit, healthcare, or human services setting
