Manager, HR Systems & Workforce Analytics (ADP)

The Ideal Candidate

We’re looking for a curious, analytical, tech-savvy problem solver who is genuinely obsessed with mastering systems, uncovering insights, and making things work better. You love digging into data, asking “why,” connecting the dots, and turning information into a strategy that actually moves the business forward. You’re equally energized by figuring out why an HRIS integration isn’t working, building a dashboard that makes a leader say “Wow, I finally understand this,” automating a painfully manual process, or experimenting with how AI can make HR smarter and more efficient. You don’t just maintain systems - you learn them inside and out, challenge the status quo, and look for what’s possible next. You’re a little bit HR strategist, a little bit data detective, a little bit technology geek, and a whole lot of problem solver. You have a high bar for accuracy, a healthy curiosity about how things work, and the creativity and persistence to keep digging until you find the answer. If you get genuinely excited about turning messy data into meaningful insights, complicated systems into elegant solutions, and “we’ve always done it this way” into “here’s a better way,” we want to meet you.
