• HRIS and Data Management:
• Conduct audit gap analysis, building new audit processes where needed.
• In accordance with established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and as needed on an ad hoc basis, conduct audits of HRIS data ensuring remediation is completed with appropriate partners as needed.
• Lead employee document management strategy including proposing file structures, auditing access levels, establishing retention SOPs, and migrating files to our HRIS, Workday.
• Policy and Documentation:
• Develop and maintain employee handbooks for various locations (US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Singapore, Finland, and India).
• Vendor and Training Compliance:
• Manage compliance vendors and related services, including researching vendors, reviewing existing resources (Mineral) for filings/reports, and partnering to develop compliance SOPs.

• 1+ years of experience with HRIS systems, specifically Workday.
• Excellent organizational, time-management, and problem-solving skills.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Ability to maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive information.
