So what does a HRIS Specialist do? As an HRIS Specialist, you are part of a global team responsible for ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and usability of employee data and HR systems—primarily Workday.

You'll be an individual contributor role within the global HRIS team, responsible for ensuring the accuracy, consistency, and timeliness of employee data across the employee lifecycle. This role handles employee data transactions and manages tickets from multiple geographies, delivering high-quality, compliant support that aligns with global service level agreements. Reporting to the HRIS Supervisor, the Specialist maintains data integrity in Workday and related systems, resolves transactional issues, and escalates as needed. The role also contributes to system testing, process improvement initiatives, and cross-functional coordination to optimize tools and workflows that support HR operations. Due to access to confidential and sensitive employee information, the role requires a high level of discretion, professionalism, and adherence to data privacy standards—any mishandling or breach may lead to disciplinary consequences.

Success depends on your attention to detail, discretion with sensitive data, and collaborative mindset. You'll be working across time zones, supporting a global workforce, and contributing to the consistent and secure delivery of people systems.
