HRIS Analyst / UKG Systems Leader (Strategic HR Technology & Workforce Systems)

We are not looking for a task-taker.

We are seeking a highly analytical, systems-driven HRIS professional with proven leadership experience who can own, optimize, and strategically elevate our HR technology infrastructure—particularly within UKG.

This is a high-impact role for someone who understands that HR systems are not just administrative tools—they are critical business infrastructure that drive workforce efficiency, compliance, reporting accuracy, and operational excellence.

If you have deep UKG expertise, strong technical and business acumen, and the leadership capability to improve systems, processes, and people, this role may be for you.

What You’ll Own

As our HRIS Analyst / UKG Systems Leader, you will:

Lead configuration, optimization, and strategic oversight of UKG systems (timekeeping, scheduling, payroll, absence, compensation, and HR workflows)
Reprogram and improve business rules, policies, and workforce configurations as organizational needs evolve
Serve as the primary expert for HR systems architecture, governance, and operational integrity
Build scalable HR workflows and ticket routing systems for employee inquiries and HR service management
Analyze workforce data to improve operational decisions, reporting, and executive insights
Design dashboards, custom reports, and analytics frameworks
Manage system upgrades, releases, integrations, and vendor relationships
Establish data governance, security structures, and process controls
Troubleshoot complex HRIS challenges while improving user adoption
Train, mentor, and guide HR teams on system capabilities and best practices
Translate HR operational needs into technical system solutions
Drive continuous improvement initiatives across HR technology

Who You Are

You are:

Highly analytical and strategic
Experienced in leading systems, not just supporting them
Comfortable balancing technical depth with practical HR operations
Process-minded with strong business judgment
A proactive problem-solver who improves systems before issues arise
Detail-oriented without losing sight of larger organizational goals
Confident communicating with leadership, HR teams, vendors, and stakeholders
Skilled in both execution and long-term systems planning

Required Qualifications
7+ years of HRIS/HCM systems experience
Deep UKG expertise strongly preferred
Strong knowledge of:
Timekeeping
Payroll
Scheduling
Compensation
Absence management
Security structures
Reporting and analytics
Experience with HR service management/help desk workflows
Proven leadership in systems implementation, optimization, or governance
Advanced reporting and dashboard creation experience
Strong business systems thinking
Excellent troubleshooting and process design skills
Exceptional communication and stakeholder management
Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, IT, or related field

Preferred Experience
UKG Workforce Management / Dayforce / HCM

Manufacturing or operational workforce environments
Multi-module HRIS oversight

What Success Looks Like
HR workflows become more efficient, scalable, and accurate
UKG is optimized to support changing business policies
Reporting becomes executive-ready and data-driven
Employee inquiry systems become streamlined
HR technology governance improves
Business leaders trust workforce data
HR systems become a competitive operational advantage

This Role Is NOT For:

Entry-level HR administrators
Basic payroll processors
Passive system maintainers
Candidates without strategic systems thinking
Professionals lacking leadership initiative
Individuals unfamiliar with enterprise HR platforms

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This role is ideal for someone who wants to move beyond maintenance and into strategic ownership.

You will help shape how an organization leverages HR technology to improve workforce performance, compliance, and business growth.

This is for builders, analysts, and leaders.
