  • Manage large HRIS projects, including implementation of new functionality and modules as needed.
  • Support development and management of the HRIS roadmap, including maintaining relationships with key stakeholders across HR and the business.
  • Research and resolve HRIS problems, unexpected results, or process flaws, perform scheduled activities and recommend solutions or alternate methods to meet requirements.
  • Keeps current on HR/Workday system trends and process best practices. Maintain visibility on Workday Community and local User Groups to keep abreast of new features, product defects, and advocate for desired enhancement.
