You will also identify opportunities to automate manual processes and improve the employee and manager experience. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who thrives in a fully remote, fast-moving environment and enjoys turning complex business needs into practical technology solutions.

• Own the day-to-day administration, configuration, security roles, workflows, custom fields, and overall health of ADP Workforce Now and related People systems.
• Translate business requirements into system solutions, managing the full lifecycle from requirements gathering and configuration through testing, launch, validation, and adoption.
• Manage system integrations across payroll, benefits, finance, and HR platforms, including monitoring, troubleshooting, escalation, and maintenance of automated and manual data flows.
• Lead configuration, testing, documentation, and rollout of system releases and enhancements, proactively identifying opportunities to simplify or automate existing processes.
• Manage role-based access and least-privilege controls while maintaining appropriate evidence for SOX and other compliance requirements.
• Own HR technology and data projects from scoping through completion, representing the People Operations perspective in cross-functional technical initiatives.
• Develop and implement process automations, including AI-assisted solutions, to reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, and create more scalable People Operations workflows.
• Establish and maintain data definitions, quality standards, field ownership, retention practices, audit logs, and recurring data audits to strengthen HR data governance.
• Build custom reports and executive-facing dashboards, analyze People data, and translate findings into actionable insights for Finance, FP&A, Legal, and People leadership.
• Support cyclical HR operations including open enrollment, compensation cycles, reorganizations, payroll close, and year-end activities.
• Provide responsive support for employee and manager system questions, identify recurring issues, and develop documentation, runbooks, or automations that address root causes.
• Manage HR technology vendors, including service levels, escalations, performance, contracts, and renewal timelines.
• Maintain clear technical documentation and training materials to increase self-service capabilities across the People team.

• 5+ years of progressive experience in HR systems administration, HRIS configuration, HR technology operations, or a closely related field.
• Deep hands-on expertise with ADP Workforce Now, including configuration, workflows, reporting, security roles, and troubleshooting integrations.
• Proven experience translating ambiguous business requirements into practical system solutions and managing implementations end to end.
• Strong understanding of HR data management, data quality, reporting, governance, and audit practices.
• Experience designing or implementing process automation, ideally using modern AI-assisted tools to improve efficiency and reduce manual work.
• Experience with SOX controls, audit preparation, compliance documentation, or comparable HR technology governance requirements.
• Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities, shifting requirements, deadlines, and cross-functional dependencies.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, written, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong judgment, intellectual curiosity, and attention to detail, with the ability to identify root causes rather than repeatedly addressing symptoms.
• A bias toward action and the ability to make sound decisions in ambiguous, rapidly changing environments.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently in a remote environment while proactively communicating status, risks, and decisions.
• Experience managing HR technology vendors and third-party system relationships is highly valuable.
