Our client is seeking a Senior HRIS Analyst to lead and optimize the organization's HR technology, reporting, data, and HR systems processes.

\n

This is a highly collaborative, solutions-focused role for someone who understands how HR systems should work and can identify opportunities to make them better. The Senior HRIS Analyst will partner with HR, IT, Finance, Legal, vendors, and organizational leaders to develop practical technology solutions, improve processes, strengthen data integrity, and ensure HR systems effectively support the business.
