People Analytics and Payroll Specialist

Step into the Numbers: A Day in This Role

You start your morning validating timecards and resolving exceptions so a biweekly payroll can run without a hitch. By mid-day, you’re diving into overtime spikes, absenteeism trends, recruiting funnels, and turnover patterns—distilling the story behind the data and translating it into clear recommendations for plant leadership. In the afternoon, you switch hats to serve as the site’s go-to expert for benefits, HR systems, and timekeeping—configuring, testing, and auditing HRIS and time platforms while ensuring every employee change is captured accurately.

Where You’ll Work

This is a full-time, on-site role embedded in a 24/7 manufacturing environment. While your schedule is office-based (Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM), you’ll regularly partner with teams in a high-traffic factory setting.

What You’ll Own

• Payroll & Compliance: Manage end-to-end biweekly payroll and administer leave programs (FMLA, ADA, Workers' Comp) with absolute accuracy and confidentiality.
• Insights & Reporting: Build analyses on overtime, absenteeism, turnover, and recruiting metrics to surface actionable insights for operations and HR leaders.
• HR Systems Leadership: Act as the technical super-user for HRIS and time-tracking tools (SuccessFactors, ADP, or UKG)—troubleshoot, optimize, and train users.
• Data Integrity: Maintain precise employee records for all personnel actions and perform scheduled monthly audits to ensure system accuracy.
• Site Expertise: Serve as the plant’s primary point of contact for payroll, benefits, and HR systems questions and escalations.

What You Bring

• Experience: 3–5 years of progressive HR or payroll background; manufacturing experience is strongly preferred.
• Technical Mastery: Advanced/Expert Excel skills (complex formulas, pivots, lookups) and confidence working with large datasets.
• Work Style: Independent, detail-obsessed, and comfortable prioritizing in a fast-paced environment.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, or a related discipline preferred.
• Tools: Experience with HRIS/time systems such as SuccessFactors, ADP, or UKG.
