You will work closely with HR, Payroll, Finance, and Operations to implement improvements, automate workflows, and ensure our tools support the company's growth.

• Provide guidance and support to HR and Finance teams on system usage.
• Evaluate new tools, features, and integrations to recommend improvements.
• Create and maintain process documentation and system guides.
• Coordinate with vendors for support, upgrades, and feature rollouts.

Qualifications

• 3–6 years of experience administering or optimizing HR systems.
• Hands‑on experience with HRIS, payroll, ATS, or workforce management tools.
• Experience leading system improvements or digital transformation initiatives.
• Strong understanding of HR processes, data structures, and workflows.
• Comfortable with integrations, automation, and process optimization.
• Strong problem‑solving and technical aptitude.
• Experience working in remote or distributed teams is a plus.
