HR Systems Analyst

The Role:

The HR Systems Analyst is responsible for the effective administration, support, and continuous improvement of HR systems and related workflows. This role serves as a key partner across HR Operations and other business functions by owning system administration, reporting, troubleshooting, testing, documentation, and process optimization.

This role sits within the HR Operations team and works closely alongside Operations Specialists and Managers to improve how work gets done across the function. UKG is the primary HRIS for this role, and Greenhouse serves as the applicant tracking system.

• Help administer and improve FreshService as the HR Operations ticketing system, while providing timely and thoughtful support to employees and internal stakeholders on system troubleshooting and process questions
• Support administration and reporting for compliance and learning processes, including annual anti-harassment training in Docebo, while expanding systems support over time to additional platforms such as Quantum
• Develop and maintain SOPs, process guides, troubleshooting steps, FAQs, and knowledge base content so processes are documented, scalable, and not dependent on one individual
• Identify and implement process, system, and automation improvements that reduce manual work, improve the employee experience, and help the HR Operations team scale
• Lead or support the team’s adoption of AI by identifying practical use cases, creating agents or automations, and embedding scalable solutions into team workflows
• Partner closely with HR Operations Specialists and Managers, as well as cross-functional teams including IT, Payroll, Finance, Legal, HRBPs, Total Rewards, and Talent Acquisition, to resolve issues, improve workflows, and support scalable execution
• Bring forward new ideas, manage competing priorities and projects with clear milestones, monitor system releases and best practices, and support ad hoc reporting, audits, and operational initiatives based on team priorities
