HRIS Analyst

Location: Stamford, CT (On‑Site) | Job Type: Full‑Time, Exempt

About the role

We’re looking for an HRIS Analyst who is passionate about HR technology, data, and finding better ways to work. This role will support the day-to-day administration, optimization, and continuous improvement of our HR technology environment in a fast-paced, growing organization. You’ll be a hands-on partner to HR, Payroll, IT, Talent Acquisition, Benefits, and field teams—helping ensure our HCM systems are accurate, connected, easy to use, and supporting the needs of a growing workforce. The ideal candidate is comfortable working in a dynamic environment where priorities can change quickly. You’re naturally curious, enjoy troubleshooting problems, understand how HR data moves across systems, and look for opportunities to simplify and automate processes.

Responsibilities

• Provide day-to-day administration and support of our HRIS/HCM environment, including employee lifecycle transactions, organizational data, workflows, security/access, and system maintenance.
• Serve as a first point of contact for HR and business users, troubleshooting system issues and resolving or escalating problems as appropriate.
• Research system issues, identify root causes, and recommend practical solutions rather than simply resolving the immediate issue.
• Maintain accurate, secure, and reliable employee data across HR systems.
• Support system configuration, enhancements, upgrades, and ongoing optimization.
• Support enterprise HCM platforms such as Workday, Dayforce, ADP Workforce Now, UKG, Oracle HCM, or similar systems.
• Monitor and troubleshoot integrations and data feeds between the HCM and other systems, including payroll, timekeeping, benefits, ATS/recruiting, onboarding, background screening, and other third-party platforms.
• Partner with IT and vendors to investigate integration errors, data discrepancies, and system issues.
• Understand how changes in one HR system can impact downstream processes, data, reporting, and integrations.
• Support data mapping, validation, reconciliation, and testing for system changes and integrations.
• Analyze HR data and translate findings into clear, actionable insights for HR and business partners.
• Support workforce reporting, including headcount, turnover, hiring, organizational changes, and other key people metrics.
• Identify opportunities to automate recurring reports and reduce manual processes.
• Develop and execute test scenarios, including user acceptance testing (UAT), regression testing, and data validation.
• Document processes, system changes, and solutions to support consistency and knowledge sharing.
• Support new functionality rollouts and help drive adoption through training, communications, and user support.
• Partner closely with HR, Payroll, Benefits, Talent Acquisition, Finance, IT, and field leadership to understand business needs and translate them into effective HR technology solutions.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of experience in HRIS, HCM, HR technology, HR operations, people analytics, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience administering or supporting at least one enterprise HCM platform, such as Workday, Dayforce, ADP Workforce Now, UKG, Oracle HCM, or similar.
