• Collaborate with the global SVPs of HR, regional HR leaders, and the business to identify and recommend improvements to systems and processes.
• Ensure the accuracy and integrity of all data within the HRIS systems, overseeing all system updates and modifications.
• Build and analyze HR reports, dashboards, and analytical tools to support business decisions.

What we are looking for:

• A minimum of 3-5 years of experience working as an HRIS Analyst or in a similar role, with a strong understanding of HRIS systems.
