  • Lead the evaluation, selection, and implementation of a modern HRIS solution, establishing a scalable, People Ops-owned system and processes
  • Identify and execute automation opportunities across high-volume People processes using iPaaS tools (e.g., Workato, Boomi), reducing manual work and improving data accuracy

  • Deep hands-on expertise with Workday and demonstrated ability to configure, troubleshoot, and optimize systems without heavy IT dependency

  • Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and change management skills. You can translate technical complexity into business language and vice versa
