  • Maintain accurate HR documentation, records, and employee data while ensuring confidentiality.
  • Generate routine HR reports, dashboards, and presentations to support business and HR leadership.
  • Assist with HR compliance activities, audits, documentation, and employment-related reporting.
  • Identify opportunities to improve HR processes, workflows, and operational efficiency through continuous improvement and automation.
  • Support administration of HR systems, including Dayforce, ensuring data accuracy and process consistency.

Talent Programs & Organizational Support
  • Coordinate logistics for learning and development programs, training sessions, workshops, and talent initiatives.
  • Maintain training records and support program administration.
  • Provide administrative and project support for employee engagement, talent management, and culture initiatives.
  • Assist with special HR projects and cross-functional initiatives as assigned.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • One (1) to three (3) years of experience supporting talent acquisition, human resources, recruiting coordination, or employee lifecycle programs.
  • Experience coordinating multiple recruiting, onboarding, or HR-related activities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Familiarity with applicant tracking systems (ATS), Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS), or similar technology; Dayforce experience preferred.
  • Strong organizational and time management skills with exceptional attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Demonstrated ability to handle confidential and sensitive information with professionalism and discretion.
  • Excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills with a customer service mindset.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
