Systems Analyst 2 - HRIS/HCM business systems experience

This role is about half hands-on HR systems support and half process improvement. It suits someone who knows the HR technology space and enjoys building tools that make work simpler.

HR business systems analysis and support

Act as a business analyst for HR applications, with Workday as the main system, and connect HR/HRIS partners with technical teams.
Monitor, troubleshoot and resolve problems with Workday integrations to outside vendors (for example benefits and insurance carriers, contingent workforce management, travel and expense, and telecom vendors). This includes file-based and encrypted (PGP) transfers.
Coordinate key and certificate updates, file-format changes and testing with outside vendors.
Manage the HR Apps backlog in Azure DevOps: take in requests, gather requirements, write user stories, set priorities and track work to completion.
Prepare and submit change requests for weekly and major releases, following audit and change-management controls. Coordinate validation with HRIS.
Support vendor work: review statements of work and change requests, track deliverables, and help with PO and budget tracking.
Handle access and onboarding tasks for project resources, and act as the backup for HR application admin duties such as learning coordination.
Process automation and AI enablement

Find repetitive, manual or error-prone HR technology processes and propose automated solutions.
Design and build solutions with the Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio) and other approved tools.
Use AI tools such as Microsoft 365 Copilot and AI agents to streamline tasks like monitoring integration failures, triaging requests, writing documentation and reporting.
Build dashboards and reports, for example in Power BI, to show integration health, backlog status and change activity.
Write and maintain documentation (process maps, runbooks, SOPs) so solutions are supportable and can be handed off.
Follow Williams' security, data-privacy and governance standards, especially for sensitive employee data (PII).
