Payroll Operations & Workforce Analytics Specialist (Manufacturing)
A day in the life
It’s 8:00 AM at a major international manufacturing facility that runs around the clock. You’re on site, settled into your office near the factory floor, and your morning starts by reviewing overnight labor data—overtime spikes, no‑shows, and recruiting funnel metrics. By mid-morning, you’re advising leaders on what the numbers mean for shift coverage and cost, then turning to biweekly payroll finalization and leave case updates. Later, you complete employee change entries, queue up your monthly HRIS audit, and jump into a quick walk-through of the plant to stay close to operations.
You will own
- End-to-end biweekly payroll processing with impeccable accuracy and compliance.
- Administration of leave programs, including FMLA, ADA, and Workers’ Compensation.
- Advanced analysis of trends in overtime, absenteeism, and recruiting to deliver actionable insights to leadership.
- HRIS and timekeeping system stewardship as the site’s technical super-user (e.g., SuccessFactors, ADP, or UKG).
- Meticulous recordkeeping for all employee changes and scheduled monthly system audits.
- Serving as the location’s primary expert for payroll, benefits, and HR systems.
Where you’ll work
This is a full-time, on-site role at a 24/7 manufacturing plant. While the work is primarily office-based, the setting is a high-traffic factory environment. Standard hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
What you bring
- 3–5 years of progressive experience in HR and/or payroll; manufacturing background strongly preferred.
- Expert-level Excel capability and a knack for independent, detail-obsessed work.
- Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, or a related field preferred.
- Demonstrated proficiency in core Human Resources practices.
