• Partner with the internal Tech team to design, build, and maintain integrations and file feeds.
• Drive automation and AI initiatives to streamline processes.
• Ensure HCM data is clean, well‑structured, and configured to power reliable reporting, automation, and integrations.

• Manage system security to ensure appropriate access and data protection.
• Own compliance filings (e.g., EEOC, 5500s) and maintain the employee handbook.
• Collaborate with teammates across HCM, recruiting, finance and other departments to translate needs into system solutions.
• Document systems and processes so knowledge is accessible to the whole team.

What We’re Looking For

• A hands‑on problem solver who loves to build.
• Experience gathering business requirements and translating them into system configuration and process design.
• Strong data skills, understanding how data must be structured upstream to be useful downstream.
• Comfort working with technical tools; experience with BI platforms (Sigma, Power BI, Tableau) and a general understanding of APIs is a plus.
• Equally comfortable discussing HCM and Tech, able to bridge the two as a true partner.
• Preference for candidates located in Chicago (relocation assistance available).
